Received Sep 19, 2017 Revised Dec 30, 2017 Accepted Jan 17, 2018 This paper gives Space Vector Pulse Width Modulation (SVPWM) for 3phase 3-level Neutral Point Clamped (NPC) inverter fed induction motor control. A conventional two level inverter with 3-phase system has been developed for induction motor control. When it is applied for high voltage and power applications, which increases the volt...

This paper proposes a single-phase seven-level inverter for grid-connected photovoltaic systems, with a novel pulse width-modulated (PWM) control scheme. Three reference signals that are identical to each other with an offset that is equivalent to the amplitude of the triangular carrier signal were used to generate the PWM signals. The inverter is capable of producing seven levels of output-vol...

This paper proposes a NCPM (Nano-composite coated permanent magnets)-based IPMSM (Interior Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor) electric drive system, especially applicable for vehicles (EV). For an EV, increase in the “T/A (torque per ampere)” condition is highly recommended, as it directly affects maximum distance run by EV on single charge. Due to NCPM, substantial magnetic flux intensity, re...

Abstract – In this paper, a generalized power loss algorithm for multilevel neutral-point clamped (NPC) PWM inverters is presented, which is applicable to any level number of multilevel inverters. In the case of three-level inverters, the conduction loss depends on the MI (modulation index) and the PF (power factor), and the switching loss depends on a switching frequency, turn-on and turn-off ...

Multilevel inverters have been widely used for highpower, high-voltage applications. Among the existing multilevel inverter topologies Cascaded inverter topology has many advantages over Neutral point clamped and Flying capacitor inverters, but it requires isolated DC sources which is a main drawback of this topology. A new topology with a reversingvoltage component requires fewer numbers of co...

This paper presents a novel scalar based pulse width modulation (PWM) algorithm for four-level asymmetrical dual inverter fed induction motor drive. In the conventional carrier based PWM algorithms for dual inverter fed induction motor drive, both inverters will be operated at all modulation indices. But, the proposed PWM algorithm operates only one inverter at lower modulation indices and othe...
