Abstract

The last ten years have seen a rise in the usage of multilayer inverters. Because they can produce waveforms with a greater harmonic spectrum and reliable output. Several high voltages and high-power applications are suitable for these new inverters. A multilayer converter not only produce high power ratings, but it also saves time and money and enhances the system performance in terms of harmonics, dv/dt strains, and pressures on the motor bearings. Owing to its flexibility and modularity, the possible topology for a power application is the cascaded H-bridge multilevel inverter (CMI) with separated DC sources. This study investigates a cascade H bridge multilevel inverter, such as a Three, Five, Seven, Nine and Eleven level inverter in order to drive a three phase AC induction motor. A Level shifted Pulse Width Modulation (LSPWM) technique was applied for the CHBMLI. Specific emphasis is given to aspects like modulation and total harmonic distortion that are preferable or necessary for multi-level converters. For both intellectual and scientific considerations, investigating sine triangle carrier pulse width modulation is deemed to be the most auspicious approach. Analysis of the many performance parameters, including load torque, motor speed, and efficiency, an extensive survey is conducted. MATLAB / Simulink is built into the entire system, and simulation results are developed. The purpose of this research is to demonstrate the performance of 9-level and 11-level fed induction motor driving results for Electric Vehicle applications. CHBMLI fed motor drive is better suitable for Induction Motor Drives.

Keywords: Induction motor drive, THD, CHBMLI, Multi Carrier PWM.
