In a fixed AC power source the PWM techniques were used to vary the voltage and the fundamental frequency. The conventional PWM techniques due to the problem of commutation number and filter size have been studied the PWM output waveforms which applied the motor drive. However in this paper, the carrier frequency with sinusoidal PWM waveform is modulated from 10(KHz) to 45(KHz) using termination devices with high - speed switching capacity and applying LPF(Low Pass Filter) with small capacity to output of inverter and the PAM(Pulse Amplitude Modulation)is obtained. Considering the property of the speed and the control, the sinusoidal PWM control circuit was composed of the microprocessor and analog circuit. In experment result, the system properties are study on the sinusoidal voltage waveform with modulation index changing from 0.6 to 1.0.

Programmed PWM(Pulse Width Modulated) generation techniques eliminating several low order harmonics have been widely used in the inverter circuit which produces minimum current ripple, reduced torque pulsation and thereby improves overall system performance. However, the applications of the programmed PWM technique are limited to CVCF(Constant Voltage Constant Frequency) applications and various motor drives. Although the programmed PWM produces a lower harmonic distorted waveform than the carrier modulated PWM, real-time programming is not possible because of the complicated calculation required for the gating signal. In this paper, a new programmed PWM technique named TAM (time averaging model) is developed to compensate for the demerits of the conventional programmed PWM technique with moderate harmonic distortion. Computer simulations are performed to verify the performance of the proposed algorithm.

A main research topic in PWM inverter drive system is to reduce the generated acoustic noise. One method to reduce the acoustic noise is to cause the switching pattern to be random. This RPWM(Random Pulse Width Modulation) technique for voltage controlled inverters is a kind of good solutions for reduction of acoustic noise and suppression of vibration. This paper describes a carrier frequency modulated real-time RPWM inverter. Changing the carrier frequency randomly, the power spectrum of tile acoustic noise was spread over the wide-band area. And experimental results showed that emitted noise is much more comportable and less annoying

In an effort to conserve electric power, variable voltage variable frequency pulse width modulated (PWM) inverters are being applied increasingly to the variable speed control of the induction motors. The use of the PWM technique in motor drive applications is considered advantageous in many ways. For industrial applications, the PWM drive obtains its DC input through simple uncontrolled rectification of the commercial AC line and is favored for its good power factor, good efficiency, its relative freedom regulation problem, and mainly for its ability to operate the motor with nearly sinusoidal current waveforms. The purpose of this paper is to design a three phase natural sampled PWM inverter using microprocessor with simple control algorithm and hybrid control circuit has been built to implement this PWM scheme. In this system, the microprocessor can be used only for calculations directly related to motor control tasks by the design of hybrid circuit which sends PWM signals to the motor.

IGBT inverters have switching rise times of 0.2-2 $\mu$ sec, and have been believed to cause insulation stresses and premature motor failures. Inverter driven induction motors with high speed switching and advanced PWM techniques are widely used for variable speed applications. Recently, the insulation failures of stator winding have attracted many concerns due to high dv/dt of IGBT PWM inverter output. In this paper, the detailed insulation test results of 19 low-voltage induction motors are presented. Different types of insulation techniques are applied to 19 motors. The insulation characteristics are analyzed with partial discharge, discharge inception voltage, and dissipation factor tests. Also, breakdown tests by high voltage pulses are performed, and the corresponding breakdown voltages are obtained.

Current source inverter drives of auto sequentially commutated type are very popular in high power applications, because of simple power circuit configuration with four quadrant operation. But the six-step current output create harmonic problems and the input power factor of such a drive is not always good. In this respect pulse width modulated drives using gate turn off thyristors ( GTO ) are finding application, especially in traction drives. However the switching and snubber loses of a GTO do not permit the inverter switching frequency go beyond a few hundred hertz.This will again introduce low frequency harmonic problems. Multi level inverters of the 3-level and 5-level can be considered as an alternative to overcome the low switching frequency harmonic problem of the 2-level GTO inverters. But with multi level inverters the complexity of the power circuit increases. In this paper a combination of multi level ( 2-level and 3-level ) inverters and multi phase induction motor ( 3-phase and 6-phase) configurations are presented for high power VSI drives for traction applications with reduced inverter switching frequency requirements coupled with reduced voltage rating for the power switch.

This paper presents a useful multilevel PWM inverter scheme based on a (3$^{n-1}$+2) level generation technique. It consists of a PWM inverter, an assembly of LEVEL inverters, and cascaded transformers. To produce high quality output voltage waves, it synthesizes a large number of output voltage levels using cascaded transformers, which have a series-connected secondary. By a suitable selection of secondary turn-ration of the transformer, the amplitude of an output voltage is appeared at the rate of an integer to an input dc source. Operational principles and analysis are illustrated in depth. The validity of the proposed system is verified through computer-aided simulations and experimental results using prototypes generation output voltages of an 11-level and a 29-level, respectively. And their results are compared with conventional counterparts.

The windup phenomenon appears and results in the performance degradation when the PI controller output is saturated. A new anti-windup PI controller is proposed to improve the control performance of the variable-speed motor drives and it is experimentally applied to the speed control of a vector-controlled induction motor driven by a pulse width modulated(PWM) voltage source inverter (VSI). The integral state is separately controlled corresponding to whether the PI controller output is saturated or not. The experimental results show that the speed response has the much improved performances such as small overshoot and fast settling time over the conventional anti-windup technique. Although the operating speed command is changed, the similar control performance can be obtained by using the PI gains selected in the linear region.

The windup phenomenon appears and degrades control performance when a controller with integrating action is used and the plant input is limited. An anti-windup integral -proportional(IP) controller is proposed for the variable-speed motor drives and it is experimentally applied to the speed control of a vector-controlled induction motor driven by a pulse width modulated (PWM) voltage source inverter(VSI). Although the operating conditions like motor load and speed command is changed under the limited plant input it is experimentally verified that the speed response has much improved performance such as no overshoot and fast settling time and the maximum plant input is also effectively utilized.
