This paper proposes a linearization technique for the 3-level NPC type inverter, which increases the linear control range of Inverter up to the one-pulse inverter. The overmodulation range is divided into two modes depending on the Modulation Index, MI. In overmodulation region I, the reference angles are derived from the fourier series expansion of the reference voltage corresponding to the MI. In overmodulation region II, the holding angles are also derived in the same way. Therefore, it is possible to obtain the linear control and the maximized utilization of PWM inverter output voltage.

The paper describes a new and rigorous mathematical model using counter-EMF for the rotor field oriented system with induction motor which uses the estimated speed and rotor flux based on a Model Reference Adaptive System as well as the real-time approach. The estimated speed and rotor flux is used for the speed and flux feedback control. The stability and the convergence of the estimator are improved on the basis of hyperstability theory for non-linear systems. The validity of the proposed method is verified by simulation and also the sensorless control was tested on the propulsion system simulator used for the development of Korean High-Speed Railway Train(KHSRT).

Designing of the squirrel cage AC Traction Motor has many difficulties which has to be small size in order to be suitable into bogie frame, high efficiency and light weight. It means that induction motor for tractive purpose has to be different magnetic and electric loading ratio from industrial induction motor. This paper is devoted to an examination of how this ratio affects overall design concept and hence the main design points for traction motor. Also studied is tile changed coefficients of the magnetic and electric loading ratio squirrel cage induction motor for the traction purpose which has been already identified from tile reference book for industrial purpose induction motor.

This paper proposes a novel analysis method on the driving performance of LIM (linear induction motor) by FEM (finite element method). First, a linear model was converted with a rotation model to perform the dynamic analysis for a long time. Through the FEM model, the slip parameter for the control algorithm could be induced effectively. The LIM for the traction system was performed at a constant V/f in the region of constant torque, and a constant V and variable f in the region of constant power. Several slip characteristic curves according to the voltage and frequency were calculated by FEM in advance. The driving performance was then induced by interpolating the slip characteristic curves according to the load of the vehicle.

Three phase squirrel cage induction motor is generally adopted as a traction motor to drive high speed trains because of its robustness for surrounding environment and easy maintenance. In the design of traction molar, reduction of weight is very important in order to reduce kinetic energy to accelerate the vehicle. Therefore, in this paper, design variables of a preliminary designed traction motor to minimize its weight is determined using the optimization technique. Before the optimization process, rotor slot number is determined to reduce vibration and noise by the analysis of magnetic force. As a result, a design example to reduce weight by 12% than that of the preliminary designed motor is presented.

This paper presents a application of vector control strategy to 1.2MVA traction drive for railway vehicle. The vector control required the control of the phase and amplitude of output voltage vector. But in case of traction system for railway vehicle, the one-pulse mode is used at high speed region in order to utilize the link voltage fully. So it is impossible to control the flux and torque axis current instantaneously and independently in the region. So this paper proposes a mixed control algorithm, where the vector control strategy at low speed region and slip-frequency control strategy at high speed region is used. And precise switching technique between the two different control strategy is proposed. The proposed strategy is verified by experimental results with a 1.2MVA traction drive system with four 210kW induction motors.

The paper describes a new and rigorous mathematical model for the rotor field oriented system with induction motor which uses the estimated speed and rotor flux based on a Model Reference Adaptive System, as well as the real-time approach. The estimated speed and rotor flux is used for the speed and flux feedback control. The stability and the convergence of the estimator are improved on the basis of hyperstability theory for non-linear systems. The real-time controller and estimator are implemented with a sampling period of $926{\mu}s$ using a dual TMS320C44 floating-point digital signal processor. The validity of the proposed method is verified by simulation, and also, the sensorless control was tested on the propulsion system simulator, used for the development of Korean High-Speed Railway Train (KHSRT) [5].
