Abstract

wider speed and torque range is one of the major requirements of high power propulsion and traction applications. pole-phase modulation (PPM) of multiphase induction motors (MIMs) provide extended speed-torque range without the need of oversizing the motor rating. Particularly PPM of nine-phase IM gives four-pole and twelve-pole mode of operations with wider speed and torque variations. But, in three-phase (3-ϕ) twelve-pole mode higher torque ripple degrades the performance of drive system. Further in nine-phase (9-ϕ) four-pole mode the extra dc link utilization (DLU) using 9-ϕ space vector pulse width modulation (SVPWM) is very less compared to the 3-ϕ SVPWM. Possible techniques to improve DLU by adding third harmonic order offset (THOO) value to the sine references introduce dominant lower order harmonic currents in to the phase windings. To address these problems this paper proposes a multilevel voltage generation technique using an auxiliary 3-ϕ two-level inverter for reducing high torque pulsations during starting. Compared to the conventional multilevel inverters the proposed multilevel inverter scheme gives same number of voltage levels with considerably less device count. In addition this paper also proposes a simple and effective phase grouping method to avoid dominant lower order harmonic currents in to the phase windings while improving the DLU of 4-pole operation. Proposed performance improvement technique for PPM of 9-ϕ IM is simulated in ANSYS Maxwell two dimensional (2-D) and Simplorer environment. A prototype of 5 hp 9-ϕ IM drive controlled using SPARTAN 6 FPGA board is developed for validating the proposed performance improvement methods experimentally
