<p>Generally induction motor drives posses higher harmonic contents in line voltage and current due to high switching frequency used in inverters. Conventional induction motor drives employ two level voltage source inverters which has THD in level of 50%. This paper presents a switched z-source multilevel inverter which has voltage boosting capability and has lesser THD level in comparison with conventional two level voltage source inverters. This drive is fed from a photo voltaic source because of its voltage boosting capability. A single phase five level switched z-source inverter is initially designed and considered as single cell and three such cells are created for powering three phase induction motor. The proposed three cell PV source switched z-source multilevel inverter for three phase induction motor is simulated in MATLAB/Simulink software to verify merits of proposed IM drive</p>

Induction Motor is popular option for most of the drives applications. It has simple construction but complex control. DC motor like decoupled control of induction motor drives similar to Field Oriented control is possible using Direct Torque Control (DTC) method which is very simple control strategy compared to vector control. The DTC strategy is very useful for automobile and traction applications using IM but due to use of hysteresis band controllers, DTC has problems of torque ripples, variable switching frequency and poor low speed performance. Because of these reasons, DTC is used in such applications for high speed range and not for the whole speed range. An improved DTC strategy suitable for wide range speed control is suggested in this paper which is based on a performance index calculated on the basis of what is the value of THD of stator current, value of operating speed and switching frequency. It uses new five level variable width torque hysteresis band controller and two level variable width hysteresis band flux controller along with new hybrid model for stator flux estimation. This improved strategy is designed to maintain simplicity of conventional DTC and give better performance than it. This new strategy is simulated using Matlab/Simulink
