ABSTRACT: This project proposes the performance of a 4- switch, 3-phase inverter fed induction motor (IM) drive system for high
performance industrial drive systems. In the proposed realization, instead of a usual 6-switch three-phase inverter (SSTPI) a 4-switch
three-phase inverter (FSTPI) is used. A cost effective FSTPI fed IM drive using Field-Oriented-Control and Space-Vector PWM
controller (with new control SVPWM approach) is implemented in real time. This reduces the cost of the inverter, the switching
losses, and the complexity of the control algorithms and interface circuits to generate 6 PWM logic signals. Furthermore, the
proposed control approach reduces the computation for real-time implementation. In this paper, a simulation model of the drive
system is developed and analyzed in order to verify the effectiveness of the approach. The complete vector control scheme for the IM
drive fed from the proposed 4S3P inverter is implemented in real-time using digital signal processor for a prototype 1 hp motor.
Theoretical and experimental results of the proposed drive verify the robustness of the drive. A performance comparison of the
proposed IS3P inverter fed drive with a conventional 6S3P inverter fed drive is also mode in terms of speed response and total
harmonic distortion (THI)) of the stator current. Simulation results show that the proposed drive system provides a fast speed
response and good disturbance rejection capability. The designed inverter fed IM drive is found suitable considering its cost decrease
and the robustness.
I.INTRODUCTION
Over the year‟s induction motor (IM) has been utilized as a workhorse in the industry due to its easy build, high
robustness, and generally satisfactory efficiency. By tradition, 6-switch 3-phase inverters have been widely used for
variable speed IM drives. The last work on FSTPI for IM drives investigated the performance of a 4-switch, 3-phase
inverter fed cost effective induction motor in real time, which has been implemented by vector control .A standard
three-phase voltage source inverter utilizes three legs [six-switch three-phase voltage source inverter , with a pair of
complementary power switches per phase. The FSTPI structure generates four active vectors in the plane, instead of six,
as generated by the sstpi topology. A reduced switch count voltage source inverter [four switch three-phase voltage
source inverter uses only two legs, with four switches. Several articles report on fstpi structure regarding inverter
performance and switch control. This paper presents a general method to generate pulse width modulated (pwm) signals
for control of four-switch, three phase voltage source inverters, even when there are voltage oscillations across the two
dc-link capacitors. The method is based on the so called space vector modulation, and includes the scalar version. This
permits to implement all alternatives, thus allowing for a fair comparison of the different modulation techniques. The
proposed method provides a simple way to select either three, or four vectors to synthesize the desired output voltage
during the switching period. In the proposed approach, the selection between three or four vectors is parameterized by a
single variable .The influence of different switching patterns on output voltage symmetry, current waveform, switching
frequency and common mode voltage is examined. The paper also discusses how the use of the wye and delta
connections of the motor windings affects the implementation of the pulse width modulator.
II.PROPOSED TECHNOLOGY
The block diagram of the proposed system is shown in Fig.1.The drive system consists of a 3 phase AC supply, 3 phase
Diode bridge Rectifier, 3 phase four switch Inverter, 3-phase Induction Motor and controlled circuits. The standard AC
power supply is converted to a DC by using a 3-phase diode bridge rectifier. A voltage source FSTPI is used to convert
the DC voltage to the controlled AC voltage. The output of FSTPI is fed to 3-phase induction motor. VHDL program is
used in Xilinx software to generate the controlled PWM pulses at different duty ratio for FSTPI to drive the Induction
Motor at different speeds.
Simulation Work and Results
Digital computer simulation model of FSTPI fed induction motor drive has been developed by using SIMULINK
MATLAB. The simulation work has been performed for this drive system at different load conditions. Weighted total
harmonic distortion (THD) has been used to evaluate the performance of the FSTPI with load and without load
conditions in this simulation work. This FSTPI fed drive system consists of a three-phase diode bridge rectifier, a split
capacitor, four switch three phase inverter and 3- phase squirrel cage Induction Motor. Input supply voltage: 3-phase,
415 V (rms), 50 Hz;Induction Motor: 5 hp 415 V, 50 Hz, 1430 rpm.The complete simulink block diagram of system
is shown in Fig. This block diagram consists of 2 blocks. Switching pulses block generates the PWM pulses for 4-
switches of FSTPI at the terminals Out1 to Out4 and FSTPI with IM block contains Diode bridge rectifier, FSTPI and
IM. Vabc and Iabc block is used to display the 3-phase voltage and current waveforms. The Simulation circuit diagram
of the drive system is shown in Fig. This circuit contains 3-phase input AC power supply, diode bridge rectifier, split
capacitor, 4-IGBT switches and 3-phase 3hp IM. The 3-phase output currents of FSTPI ia, ib and ic with IM are shown
in Fig.7. The output line voltage waveform Vab of FSTPI is shown in Fig. The speed and torque characteristics of
induction motor with and without load are shown It is observed that the speed increases linearly and reaches the rated
speed (1430 rpm) at steady state in 0.75 sec. At starting the torque increases and reduces to a minimum value when the
speed reaches the rated value. In Fig.7 the same torque and speed curve is shown with full load at 10 N-m. The Total
Harmonic Distortion (THD) with load and without load conditions is shown in Fig.11 and Fig.12. It is found that THD
without load is 9.32% and with load is 8.24%.
CONCLUSION
A cost effective FSTP inverter fed PMSM drive has been simulated and successfully implemented. This paper presents a
complete model development and analysis for four switch three phase inverter fed synchronous reluctance motor drive.
The results obtained and presented in this work indicate that the proposed control scheme produces very fast response
of the SynRM drive. A comparison of performances for the proposed FSTP inverter fed SynRM drive with
conventional SSTP inverter fed drive has also been made in terms of speed response, torque response, and three phase
currents under identical operating conditions. The drive also shows good performance in speed operation under the
effect of load disturbances, parameter variation, and reversal of speed. The proposed control scheme with low cost
implementation is suitable for commercial applications. An FPGA based implementation of FSTPI fed IM drive using
PWM control is successfully carried out in simulation and real-time experiment. MATLAB SIMULINK is used for
simulation and the hardware. Implementation is carried out using SPARTAN-3 processor. VHDL (Very high speed
description language) program is developed in XILINX to generate the controlled PWM pulses to drive the system. A
