Design and Implementation of Multilevel Inverters for Electric Vehicles

development and implementation of an optimized control strategy for induction machine in an electric vehicle

in the area of automotive engineering there is a tendency to more electrification of power train. in this work control of an induction machine for the application of electric vehicle is investigated. through the changing operating point of the machine, adapting the rotor magnetization current seems to be useful to increase the machines efficiency. in the literature there are many approaches wh...

Multilevel Inverters for Large Automotive Electric Drives

 Traditional high-frequency pulse width modulation (PWM) inverters for motor drives have several problems associated with their high frequency switching which produces high voltage change (dV/dt) rates. Multilevel inverters solve these problems because their devices switch at the fundamental frequency. Two different multilevel topologies are identified for use as a converter for electric drive...

Multilevel Inverters for Electric Vehicle Applications

 This paper presents multilevel inverters as an application for all-electric vehicle (EV) and hybrid-electric vehicle (HEV) motor drives. Diode-clamped inverters and cascaded H-bridge inverters, (1) can generate near-sinusoidal voltages with only fundamental frequency switching; (2) have almost no electromagnetic interference (EMI) and commonmode voltage; and (3) make an EV more accessible/saf...

An FPGA Based Hardware Algorithm Implementation for Cascaded Multilevel Inverters

In recent years, Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) have become key components in implementing high performance digital signal processing (DSP) systems, especially in the areas of digital communications, networking, video, and imaging, but its potential is not fully utilized in the area of power control and conversions. FPGA far exceeds that of a microprocessor or DSP processor running at c...
