The space vector pulse width modulation (SVPWM) technique is a popular PWM method for medium voltage drive applications. Conventional SVPWM (CSVPWM) and bus clamped SVPWM (BCSVPWM) are the most common SVPWM techniques. This paper evaluates the performance of various advanced BCSVPWM strategies in terms of their harmonic distortion and switching loss based on a uniform frame work. A uniform frame work, pulse number captures the performance parameter variations of different SVPWM strategies for various number of samples with heterogeneous pulse numbers. This work compares different advanced BCSVPWM techniques based on the modulation index and location of the clamping position (zero vector changing angle ) of a phase in a line cycle. The frame work provides a fixed fundamental frequency of 50Hz. The different BCSVPWM switching strategies are implemented and compared experimentally on a 415V, 2.2kW, 50Hz, 3-phase induction motor drive which is fed from an IGBT based 2 KVA voltage source inverter (VSI) with a DC bus voltage of 400 V. A low cost PIC microcontroller (PIC18F452) is used as the controller platform.

This paper analyzes the performance of two three-leg inverters and a five-leg inverter and proposes the optimal operation conditions in applying the five-leg inverter for the train propulsion system. The five-leg inverter offers a saving of two switches compared with the standard two three-leg inverters and it is possible to control two three-phase motors independently by using a control board. All of these features lead to a potential reduction in capital cost and miniaturization of system. In this paper, first, the analysis of the existing motor control method and PWM method for two-traction motor drive of urban railway is implemented. Next, the operation principle and performance of five-leg inverter is introduced. Through the analysis, when it applies the same motor control method and the same PWM method for three-leg inverter and five-leg inverter, the characteristic of motor's speed and torque is compared.

This thesis proposes novel SRP-PWM(Separately Random Pulse Position PWM) techniques and novel two-phase switching pattern applied to four-switch inverter, having various advantages such as operation time decrease that is required for decrease of switching damage, easy of implementation and inverter control at high frequency switching. In this thesis, we wish to confirm that SRP-PWM techniques disperse harmonic spectrum of inverter output current evenly into wide frequency area, that is, side-band of specification frequency. And we confirm the harmonic reduction effect of proposed techniques. Therefore, we will achieve an experiment by IGBT inverter using DSP and will verify the validity of proposed techniques compared with simulation results that use MATLAB/SIMULINK.

This paper presents the over-modulation strategy and indirect vector control drive of NPC type PWM inverter. NPC inverter has three level phase voltage output.It can perform in high voltage through assembling switching components. It has less harmonics and surge voltage stress at motor terminals than the 2 level inverter in same switching frequency through 3 level voltage. The conventional railway vehicle has used the vector control to MI=0.907 and the slip-frequency control from MI=0.907 to six-step mode. The slip-frequency control has bad motive power and slow torque control response. But vector control has good motive power and can instant torque control. In this paper, output voltage is controlled linearly from linear region to six-step mode by using over-modulation strategy. And NPC inverter is used.

This paper is proposed the Suboptimal PAWM(Pulse Amplitude Width Modulation) for minimize harmonic effects generated by switching operation of PWM Inverter. This strategy determine one switching pattern at a fixed point(fundamental) voltage u1=1.2) which THD(Total Harmonic Distortion) are minimized in the suboptimal PWM strategy, and controls only frequency in the inverter while voltage control is carried out by DC Chopper in the DC Link. This strategy is applied at VSD(Variable Speed Drive) of Three phase induction moter, and acoustic noise of motor, line to line voltage and current of inverter, current harmonic spectrum was estimated and also compared with other switching strategy. From the results, the validity of this strategy can be verified.

This paper addresses the current measurement issue of all digital field oriented control of ac motors. The p paper focuses on the effect of low-pass filter and also on the sampling of the fundamental component of the m motor current. The low-pass filter, which suppresses the switching noise of the motor current, introduces v variable phase delay according to the current ripple frequency. It is shown that the current sampling error c consists of the fundamental component and high frL'quency ripple components. In this paper, the dependency of t this current sampling e$\pi$or on the reference voltage vector is investigated analytically and a sampling technique i is proposed to minimize the error. The work is based on the three phase symmetry pulse width modulation l inverter driving an induction machine. With this technique, the bandwidth of current regulator can be extended t to the limit given by the switching frequency of the inverter and more precise torque regulation is possible.
