High Efficient Induction Motor Drives Using Triple Lift Converter
This paper proposes a high efficient advanced DC-DC converter by name Triple-Lift converter in the front end of Induction motor (IM) drives system. The conventional IM drives use PWM rectifier, boost converter, buck-boost converter, etc., in the front end which holds inadequacy in pump-up voltage and deprived output current. The Triple-Lift converter (TLC) implemented in the system employs voltage lift technique and produces the output voltage in arithmetic progression. The voltage source inverter (VSI) coupling IM derives a wide range of DC input (ripple free) from TLC which can be adopted for high rated motors with good efficiency. Simulation results using MATLAB show the effectiveness of the proposed converter arrangement for IM drives.
