With the advent of electric vehicle multi-machine drives are attaining overwhelming responses from the researchers and industries in recent years, as compared to their counterpart of single machine drive. In this regard, the industries are looking for multi motor control with single inverter system with precise speed control. The solution of aforesaid problem lies with multi-leg inverter fed dual induction motor drives that are capable for high power ratings and other specific applications. Any faults in the system leads to the failure of the operation of the entire drive system. Hence condition monitoring of the entire drive system becomes of paramount significance. Considering the aforementioned points, this paper focuses on the fault analysis of five leg voltage source inverter feeding dual induction motors. The drive system is simulated using MATLAB/ SIMULINK for different pulse width modulation techniques like SPWM, SVPWM and Two Arm Modulation (TAM) Techniques. The effect on fault in the inverter like opening of the switch and shorting the switch, on the performance of the induction motors are analysed. Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) of the stator current for different modulation techniques are compared for the analysis purpose. From the results it is observed that the THD is less for SVPWM techniques as compared with SPWM and TAM method. But independent control of both the machine cannot be attained by SPWM and SVPWM method. For independent speed control TAM method is used. So a trade-off has to be done considering the requirement and THD. It is finally concluded that independent speed control is achieved at the cost of higher THD.

<p><span>This work presents a novel switching technique for five leg inverter in dual motor control. As the technology advances in industry, requirements in reducing the cost plays an important role with reliable product design. In conventional method, the six legs are used in 2- three phase Voltage Source Inverters (VSI) to control 2 motors. This proposed technique will give the improved performance of speed control for dual motor control using Five Leg Inverter (FLI). New proposed method suggests to use 5-inverter legs instead of 6-inverter legs to control 2 induction motors. New Switching technique proposed in FLI system is designed in effective way that improved performance and Total Harmonic Distortion of ~23% achieved. The load sharing on common leg is called Common Mode (CM) of operation. In this new method, closed loop control designed by using space vector pulse width modulation (SVPWM) and Direct Torque Control (DTC) in FLI Technology. With this new method smooth speed regulation is achieved when load torque is changed. THD% for CM-FLI is reduced when compared with convetional FLI technique. The new Switching technique is controlled in effective way that the common leg is not overloaded and able to drive both the induction motors independently at required speeds. Proposed switching technique verified at different operating speeds with No load and rated torque. Simulation results computed using MATLAB/SIMULINK Software. </span></p>

Since last decades, the pulse width modulation (PWM) techniques have been an intensive research subject. Also, different kinds of methodologies have been presented on inverter switching losses, inverter output current/ voltage total harmonic distortion (THD), inverter maximum output of DC bus voltage. The Sinusoidal PWM is generally used to control the inverter output voltage and it helps to maintains drive performance. The recent years have seen digital modulation mechanisms based on theory of space vector i.e. Space vector PWM (SVPWM). The SVPWM mechanism offers the enhanced amplitude modulation indexes (MI) than sinusoidal PWM along with the reduction in the harmonics of inverter output voltage and reduced communication losses. Currently, the digital control mechanisms have got more attention than the analog counterparts, as the performance and reliability of microprocessors has increased. Most of the SVPWM mechanisms are performed by using the analog or digital circuits like microcontrollers and DSPs. From the recent study, analysis gives that use of Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGA) can offer more efficient and faster solutions. This paper discusses the numerous existing research aspects of FPGA realization for voltage source inverter (VSI) along with the future line of research.

The model of a three-phase voltage source inverter is examined based on space vector theory. SVPWM offers an improved outcome with the inverter as compared to the conservative SPWM technique for the inverter. There is a 15.5% upsurge in the line voltage of the inverter. SVPWM better exploits the available DC-link power with the SVPWM inverter. It has been revealed that the SVPWM method utilizes DC bus voltage extra competently and produces a smaller amount of harmonic distortion and easier digital realization in a three-phase voltage-source inverter. For converter‘s gating signals generation, the space-vector pulse width modulation (SVPWM) strategy lessens the switching losses by restricting the switching to two-thirds of the pulse duty cycle. A hypothetical study regarding the use of the SVPWM the three-level voltage inverter and simulation results are offered to prove the usefulness of the SVPWM in the involvement in the switching power losses lessening, output voltages with fewer harmonics. Nevertheless, despite all the above-cited benefits that SVPWM enjoys over SPWM, the SVPWM technique used in three-level inverters is more difficult on account of a large number of inverter switching states. The attained simulation outcomes were satisfactory. As prospects, future experimental works will authenticate the simulation results. A software simulation model is developed in Matlab/Simulink.

Caracterización del método SVPWM con inversor trifásico de dos niveles Juan Tisza1, 2, Javier Villegas2 1Universidad Nacional de Ingeniería, Av. Túpac Amaru 210, Rímac, Lima Perú 2Universidad Nacional Mayor de San Marcos, Ciudad Universitaria, Lima, Perú Recibido 17 de junio del 2019, Revisado el 17 de julio de 2019 Aceptado el 19 de julio de 2019 DOI: https://doi.org/10.33017/RevECIPeru2019.0005/ Resumen Las cargas en Corriente Alterna (CA) requieren voltaje variable y frecuencia variable. Estos requisitos se cumplen con un inversor de fuente de voltaje (VSI). Se puede lograr un voltaje de salida variable variando la tensión de CC de entrada y manteniendo constante la ganancia del inversor. Por otro lado, si la tensión de entrada CC es fija y no es controlable, se puede lograr una tensión de salida variable variando la ganancia del inversor, lo que normalmente se logra mediante el control de modulación por ancho de pulso dentro del inversor. Hay varias técnicas de modulación de ancho de pulso, pero la técnica de vector espacial es una buena opción entre todas las técnicas para controlar el inversor de fuente de voltaje. La modulación por ancho de pulso de vector espacial (SVPWM) es un método avanzado y muy popular con varias ventajas tales como la utilización efectiva del bus de CC, menos generación de armónicos en voltaje de salida, menos pérdidas de conmutación, amplio rango de modulación lineal, etc. En este documento, se ha tomado un inversor de fuente de voltaje constante CC y se ha implementado la SVPWM para VSI de dos niveles utilizando MATLAB / SIMULINK. Descriptores: Modulación de ancho de pulso (PWM), modulación de ancho de pulso de vector espacial (SVPWM), distorsión armónica total (THD), inversor de fuente de voltaje (VSI). Abstract Alternating Current (AC) loads require variable voltage and variable frequency. These requirements are met by a voltage supply inverter (VSI). A variable output voltage can be achieved by varying the input DC voltage and keeping the inverter gain constant. On the other hand, if the DC input voltage is fixed and not controllable, a variable output voltage can be achieved by varying the gain of the inverter, which is normally achieved by controlling the pulse width modulation within the inverter. There are several pulse width modulation techniques, but the spatial vector technique is a good choice among all the techniques for controlling the voltage source inverter. Spatial vector pulse width modulation (SVPWM) is an advanced and very popular method with several advantages such as effective utilization of CC bus, less harmonic generation in output voltage, less switching losses, wide range of linear modulation, etc. In this document, a CC constant voltage source inverter has been taken and SVPWM has been implemented for two-level VSI using MATLAB / SIMULINK. Keywords: Pulse Width Modulation (PWM), Space Vector Pulse Width Modulation (SVPWM), Total Harmonic Distortion (THD), Voltage Source Inverter (VSI).

This paper proposes pulse width modulation schemes for a two-level five-phase voltage source inverter. According to the literature, the generation of a pure sinusoidal waveform requires an (n-1) number of vectors for 'n' number of phases, so in a five-phase system, a minimum of four-vectors is needed to generate a sinusoidal waveform. The author uses only two large vectors in this paper for a five-phase voltage source inverter. Vector diagram, switching table, and switching waveform have presented for two adjacent large space vectors. The performance for each PWM scheme is analyze based on fundamental components and total harmonic distortion. In last, results have verified in the Simulink environment.
