This paper presents the PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) based speed control of three-phase asynchronous (Induction) motor. Induction motor is the leading machine used in many industrial controls, automation processes and in the field of HVAC applications. However, induction motor has fixed rated speed when directly connected to ac supply. It is necessary to design a drive system to obtain variable speed at its output to fulfill the application requirement. For this reason, we have designed a “VFD (Variable Frequency Drive)”, which gives desired speed- according to load changes unlike the DC motors, which do not require any speed controlling drive. Currently with the technological elevation in drive systems, the speed control of induction motor is more economical, convenient, reliable, and accurate. It provides continuous process control over a wide range of speed. VFD not only controls the speed of induction motor but also make its starting smooth by reducing starting inrush current and improves power factor. In result, power consumption is also reduced. In this paper, we have designed and analyzed the MATLAB/Simulink model of open loop drive system and then implemented an experimental hardware design.

This paper introduces a noval experimental teaching project. Different from previous experiment, in this project, three-phase motor can operate at multi-speed mode or continuously variable speed mode controlled by PLC and VFD. The obvious characteristic of the experiment is that the VFD is controlled by PLC automatically. The configuration of the experiment including hardware and software is introduced in detail. The results of the execuation of the PLC program reveals that three-phase motor can operate in two modes according to the instructions from PLC. In addition, the speed can be changed with the corresponding parameters seting. Therefore, the knowledge of PLC and VFD are combined in one teaching project, through which student can master more practical technique. The work of this paper is significant for improving the students’ comprehensive capability.

This paper focused with extends the knowledge in studies and analysis of a new family of diode clamp multilevel inverter for electric vehicle application. The modified new diode clamp multilevel inverter concepts is related to reducing the components utilization, which has (n-1) switching devices, (n-3) clamping diodes, (n-1)/2 DC-link sources for achieving the same voltage level of traditional topologies. The proposed system is enhanced the voltage rating and reduce the total harmonics distortion in inverter output voltage. The switching scheme of Alternatively on Opposition Disposition pulse width modulation strategies is implemented to control multilevel inverter. The proposed system reduces the components utilization which has utilizes 45% of components for achieving the same level of voltage. The modified new diode clamp multilevel inverter is coupled with induction motor and its performance is validated with three phase induction motor for variable frequency drive. The inverter topologies performance has been investigated by prototype model.
