Adjustable Speed Induction Motor Drive

Starting Current of both motors were different, when analyzed using ETAP. Starting current of Induction motor was more than that of the synchronous motor. However Induction motor is used for Stable operation in running condition [1]

Figure 1: An example of PWM in AC motor drive. The smoothness of the resultant sinusoidal waveform can be controlled by the width and number of modulated impulses.

Using Field Oriented Control, current control is largely unaffected by speed of rotation of the motor[6].In the scheme of filed oriented control motor currents and voltages obtained from the motor are transformed into d-q reference frame. Measured currents from three stator phases these currents which are now in the stator reference frame are converted into two phase using Clarke transformations which are further converted into the corresponding rotor reference frame using Park transformation. The resultant current obtained is dc which is easier for the PI controllers to operate.

Brushless DC motors are a vital part of the technology we use today in many different aspects of life; a common being computers. This essay will study how a brushless DC motor works, it’s pros, cons and how it compares to a brushed DC motor. Throughout will be various physics concepts and terms in order to provide the most accurate and detailed explanation.

D.C Motor is used for variable speed operation because in dc motor torque and flux that can be control independently and that is achieved by armature and field current control respectively. D.C motor has many advantages delivering high starting torque, ease of control and non linear performance. But due to certain disadvantage of dc machine such as mechanical commutator and brush holder required time to time maintenance [1] .So cost of the drive system is increases. But now D.C Motor is less used in industrial applications. Because of low cost, better performance and the requirement of maintenance is less as compared to D.C Motor it make the asynchronous motor advantageous in many industrial applications. SCIM are most widely used than all the rest of the electric motor as they have all the advantages of A.C Motors and are cheaper in cost as compared to slip ring induction motor. Because of absence of slip rings, brush maintenance duration and cost associated with the wear and tear of brush are minimized. Because of these advantages, the induction motor is used in element of most of the electrical drive system for all the conditions like starting, braking, change in speed and speed reversal. To achieve the maximum efficiency of the induction motor drive, so many techniques are developed in the last few years. Now a day’s high switching frequency converters are used for changing the frequency, phase and amplitude of the input to an A.C. Motor can be changed, hence the speed and motor torque can be controlled. With the help of power electronic it is possible to

In this chapter, an overview of the state of the art system of an induction motor is carried out. It looks at various induction motor control methodologies utilizing current and voltage control to control the flux and the torque of the dynamic system. Highlight of the current and future challenges of induction motor drives are presented. To do that, a general principle of induction motor drives is discussed first follow by phase controlled of induction motor drives, frequency controlled of induction motor, and vector controlled of induction motor.

A notable application of Nikola Tesla’s Alternating Current induction motor is the Electric Vehicle (EV). EVs are powered by an electric motor rather than a conventional gasoline engine. It is important to make the distinction between an EV and a hybrid, plug-in hybrid, or hydrogen fuel cell car. For our analysis, an EV is a vehicle that is completely driven by an electric motor, which is powered by a large battery, such as the BMW i3 and the Tesla Model S.

Induction motor is widely used in many different industries, it is a kind of machine use AC electric power to generate magnetic force and field from the stator winding. The different of induction motor from other kinds of motors is that induction motor need no automatic commutation, separate-excitation or self-excitation from stator to rotor to changing the power. Rotor voltage is induced in the rotor rather than being

However, the problems are found in these motor for variable speed operation over last decades keeping technology growth in power semiconductors, microprocessors, adjustable speed drivers control schemes and permanent-magnet brushless electric motor production have been joined to enable reliable, cost-effective solution for a wide area of adjustable speed applications.

This project is aim to study the principle of pwm, single-phase inverter, three-phase inverter which leading to design a three-phase inverter(DC-AC) by using the mbed to control switch.

During the last decade, permanent magnet synchronous motors have been used widely in the industry to replace DC motors and induction machines. The main characteristics of these motors are the low inertia, the high efficiency, power density and reliability. Due these

Abstract—This paper proposes a method for optimization of the harmonic performance of CHB inverter under Selective Harmonic Elimination PWM modulation (SHEPWM) control. The proposed optimization techniques are used to solve the set of non-linear transcendental trigonometrical equations. SHE were implemented to reduce the THD value. The set of non-linear transcendental equation is minimized by proposed Big Bang-Big Crunch optimization technique. The proposed topology is suitable for any number of levels. In this paper third, fifth, seventh and ninth level harmonics have been eliminated. Simulation work is done in MATLAB software and experimental results have been presented to validate the theory.

The brushless DC motors are becoming more popular in low and medium power applications due to the characteristics they have such as better speed versus torque characteristics, high dynamic response, high efficiency, noiseless operation and higher torque to weight ratio. They also have a long life span. With rapid development in power electronics, semiconductor and manufacturing technology for high performance magnetic materials, the brushless DC motors have been used for energy savings applications such as air conditioners, refrigerators, air pumps, kitchen appliances and electric vehicles.

The conventional two levels Inverter have many limitations for high voltage and high power application. Multilevel inverter becomes very popular for high voltage and high power application. The multilevel inverter is started with the three level converters. The elementary concept of a multilevel converter to achieve higher power to use a series of power semiconductor switches with several lower voltage dc source to perform the power conversion by synthesizing a staircase voltage waveform. However, the output voltage is smoother with a three level converter, in which the output voltage has three possible values. This results in smaller harmonics, but on the other hand it has more components and is more complex to control. In this paper, study of different three level inverter topologies and SPWM technique is explain and SPWM technique has been applied to formulate the switching pattern for three level and five level H-Bridge inverter that minimize the harmonic distortion at the inverter output. This paper deals with comparison of simulation results of three levels and five
