This paper presents a comparison between two Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) algorithms applied to a three-level Neutral Point Clamped (NPC) Voltage Source Inverter (VSI). The first algorithm applied is the triangular-sinusoidal strategy; the second is the Space Vector Pulse Width Modulation (SVPWM) strategy. In the first part, we present a topology of three-level NCP VSI. After that, we develop t...

A new control structure for sensorless induction machine dedicated to electrical drives using a three-level voltage source inverter VSI-NPC is completely analysed. The amplitude and the rotating velocity of the flux vector could be controlled freely. Both fast torque and optimal switching logic could be achieved; the selection is based on the value of the stator flux and the torque. A novel DTC...

In this paper, computer simulation of a three-phase synchronous motor drive is described. This drive/system is supplied with a new type of pulse-width modulated voltage source inverter (PWM VSI) whose amplitude of the first harmonic, compared to a conventional sinusoidal PWM VSI, is increased by about 17% and whose amplitude of higher harmonics is also reduced inversely proportional to their or...

this paper presents a simple model predictive control (mpc) approach to control the power injection system (pis) for renewable energy applications. a dc voltage source and a single-phase inverter that is connected to the grid by an lcl filter form the pis. grid voltage is considered a disturbance for the system. for eliminating this disturbance, a modified model is proposed. it is usual to cont...

An active power filter implemented with multiples single-phase full bridge voltage-source inverters connected in series (known as cascaded hybrid asymmetric multilevel inverter or binary multilevel VSI) is presented and analyzed in this paper. The proposed active power filter is aimed to compensate current harmonic components in medium and high voltage power distribution systems. A control sche...

This paper deals with the use of shunt active filter to compensate current perturbations produced by non linear loads. To perform the identification of disturbing currents, the so called Instantaneous Active and Reactive Power Method (pq) is used. A Phase Locked Loop (PLL) circuit, locked to the fundamental frequency of the system voltage, is also introduced for eventual mains voltages perturba...

This paper presents a power factor correction (PFC) based canonical switching cell (CSC) converter-fed brushless dc motor (BLDCM) drive for low-power household applications. The speed of BLDCM is controlled by varying the dc-bus voltage of voltage source inverter (VSI). The BLDCM is electronically commutated for reduced switching losses in VSI due to low-frequency switching. A front-end CSC con...

This paper presents the novel multilevel inverter fed control structure for induction motor based Direct Torque Control (DTC) strategy using a seven-level Multi Point Clamped (MPC) Voltage Source Inverter (VSI) is presented. It is shown that the multilevel topology presents enough degrees of freedom to control both electromagnetic torque and stator flux with very low ripple and high dynamics on...
