  4. Topology of a multilevel inverter for generation of 12-side polygonal voltage space vectors for induction motor drives. Table gives voltage levels at A for different switch conditions in that leg. ‘1’=Switch On, ‘0’=Switch Off ‘0/1’=Don’t care CEDT, INDIAN INSTITUTE OF SCIENCE, BANGALORE, INDIA

  5. Some points on the topology • Consists of three cascaded 2-level inverters • Asymmetrical DC-links are present • Induction motor fed from a single side • Simple structure CEDT, INDIAN INSTITUTE OF SCIENCE, BANGALORE, INDIA

  6. Topology of a multilevel inverter for generation of 12-side polygonal voltage space vectors for induction motor drives. INV1 and INV3 switches need to have a voltage blocking capacity of 0.366kVdc, while INV2 switches need a blocking voltage of 1.0kVdc. CEDT, INDIAN INSTITUTE OF SCIENCE, BANGALORE, INDIA

  7. Generation of voltage space vectors OQ: (310) implies that leg A is 1.366kVdc, B is at 0.366kVdc and C is zero. OP:(301) implies that leg A is at 1.366kVdc, B is zero, C is 0.366kVdc. OS:(230) implies that leg A is at 1.0kVdc and leg B is at 1.366kVdc and C zero. CEDT, INDIAN INSTITUTE OF SCIENCE, BANGALORE, INDIA

E S F R 4 3 5 2 G Q 6 1 7 12 O P 8 H 9 11 10 L I K The radius(OQ, OP etc.) of the space vector is 1.225kVdc so if we find k that makes the radius= 1Vdc as in a hexagonal space vector we get k=1/1.225=0.816 So now the DC-links of 0.366kVdc=0.299Vdc about 30% of Vdc. The other DC-link of 0.634kVdc= 0.517Vdc about 52% of Vdc. The total DC-link is 1.366kVdc=1.115Vdc. CEDT, INDIAN INSTITUTE OF SCIENCE, BANGALORE, INDIA

  16. In order to reduce switching losses the switching frequency is kept low(~1000Hz) using the following sampling sheme: 0<f<=15Hz: 4 samples per sector 15<f<=30Hz: 3 samples per sector 30<f<=45Hz: 2 samples per sector 45<f<=50Hz: 1 sample per sector Where f is the frequency of operation in Hz.

  23. Experimental Setup • The inverter topology was set up using IGBTs with their associated gate drives. • DC links were produced by rectifying 3-phase transformer outputs. • A digital signal processor(DSP), TMS320LF2407A produces the requisite PWM at its PWM output port, and also the sector number(4 bits) is an output • Two PALs synthesize the gate pulses using the output of the DSP. • Dead band circuits were used to provide adequate dead bands for the top and bottom IGBTs in a leg of the inverter. • A 1.5KW, 50Hz three phase induction motor was used to test the inverter. The motor parameters are as below: • M: Magnetising inductance: 0.272 H Lrr: Total rotor inductance: 0.28 H Lss: Total stator inductance: 0.28 H Rs: Stator resisitance: 2.08 ohm Rr: Rotor resistance: 4.19 ohm Number of poles: 4 CEDT, INDIAN INSTITUTE OF SCIENCE, BANGALORE, INDIA

  33. Salient features • Complete elimination of the following harmonics: 5, 7 and 6n±1, n=1, 3, 5.. • Current control is easier to implement as 5th and 7th are absent. • In the 12-step mode of operation the maximum value of the fundamental component achieved is 0.658Vdc against the value 0.637Vdc achieved in the conventional six-step mode of operation. • Linear range of modulation is 0.644Vdc, higher than 0.577Vdc in hexagonal space vector based inverter. • An inverter leg is switched off for 30% of the period, this reduces switch stress. • No need to open machine neutral, can feed from one side.

  35. Schematic of the proposed power circuit of the inverter fed IM drive • An open-end induction machine is used. • Two three–level inverters (cascading two two-level inverters) are used on either sides of the induction motor windings. • Asymmetrical DC-links of the ratio 1:0.366 are required. CEDT, INDIAN INSTITUTE OF SCIENCE, BANGALORE, INDIA

  36. Asymmetrical DC-link generation Since 0.634=√3*0.366, Star-delta transformers may be arranged as shown to obtain the DC-link voltages. CEDT, INDIAN INSTITUTE OF SCIENCE, BANGALORE, INDIA

  37. Switch states and pole voltage levels in a leg Upper switches such as S11 and S14 require a voltage blocking capacity of 1.0kVdc while lower switches such as S21, S24 need a blocking capacity of 1.366kVdc. CEDT, INDIAN INSTITUTE OF SCIENCE, BANGALORE, INDIA

  38. Switching states from INV-A and INV-B and the resultant space phasors. Note: OP=OQ=1.225kVdc The “dashed” vectors such as OP, OQ, OE, OF, OI and OJ are from INV-A, the solid line vectors such as OR, OS, OG, OH, OK, OL are from INV-B. CEDT, INDIAN INSTITUTE OF SCIENCE, BANGALORE, INDIA

  39. Switching states from INV-A and INV-B and the resultant space phasors. Note: OP=OQ=1.225kVdc OA is 1.366kVdc along A-axis, AQ is 0.366kVdc along B-axis and 0 kVdc along C axis, resultant vector is OQ belonging to INV-A. OB is 1.366kVdc along negative C-axis, BR is 0.366kVdc along negative B-axis, 0 along a-axis, resultant is vector OR which is negative of the INV-B space vector. CEDT, INDIAN INSTITUTE OF SCIENCE, BANGALORE, INDIA

  40. Generation of 12-sided polygonal voltage space phasor with common-mode voltage elimination • Vectors from INV-A and INV-B are added so that the common-mode voltage on both sides are the same. Alternate vectors from INV-A( dashed line) and INV-B( solid line) are taken and added to get the resultant space vectors numbered 1 to 12 above. Note: OP=OQ=1.225kVdc CEDT, INDIAN INSTITUTE OF SCIENCE, BANGALORE, INDIA

  41. Generation of 12-sided polygonal voltage space phasor with common-mode voltage elimination 12 polygonal space phasors are obtained with zero common-mode voltage variation. Note: OP=OQ=1.225kVdc 2.OP.cos(300)=OR OR=√3.OP CEDT, INDIAN INSTITUTE OF SCIENCE, BANGALORE, INDIA

  42. 2.OP.cos(300)=OR OR=√3.OP The resultant space vector has magnitude OR=√3.OP, since OP=1.225kVdc we can find ‘k’ to make OR equal to Vdc as in hexagonal space vectors from a 2-level inverter. k=1/(1.225*√3) k=0.471, so the upper DC-link voltage(1.0kVdc) is 0.471Vdc and the lower DC-link voltage(0.366kVdc) is 0.172Vdc. This implies that lower voltage devices can be used for a given Vdc than in other schemes for generation of 12-sided polygonal space vectors. CEDT, INDIAN INSTITUTE OF SCIENCE, BANGALORE, INDIA
