    Improvement of pulse width modulation techniques

    No full text
    Pulse width modulation (P.W.M.) techniques, adopted in inverters for modern variable speed drives, allow an easy adjustment of the fundamental component of the output voltage. Their use, however, entails certain disadvantages such as the complexity of the electronic control circuits and especially the deterioration of the performance of the inversion circuit. There such disadvantages can be reduced by resorting to improved modulation techniques. This paper deals with an advantageous modification of the shape of the modulating wave in the suboscillation P.W.M. techniqu

    Review of direct torque control methods for voltage source inverter-fed induction motors

    This paper presents a review of recently used direct torque and flux control (DTC) techniques for voltage source inverter-fed induction motors. A variety of techniques, different in concept, are described as follows: switching table (ST) based hysteresis DTC, direct self control (DSC), constant switching frequency DTC with space vector modulation (DTC-SVM). Trends in the DTC-SVM techniques based on neuro fuzzy logic controllers are presented. Some oscillograms that illustrate properties of the presented techniques are show

    A simple but high-performace IM speed drive

    The paper deals with an induction motor (IM) speed drive having high performance over a large speed range in the constant torque region. The drive is built up around an outer loop of speed equipped with an incremental encoder and two inner loops of torque and flux implemented in a direct torque control (DTC) scheme. The scheme takes advantage of the available speed to estimate the motor torque and the stator flux magnitude by means of the IM current model. This allows the full exploitation of the drive capabilities even in the low speed range. Furthermore, with a suitable representation of the IM current model, the drive can be operated down up to zero speed. The paper closes by analytically investigating the detuned behaviour of the scheme due to a rotor time constant mismatch. Experimental results substantiate the low-speed capabilities of the scheme and the findings on its detuned behaviour
