In this paper, hybrid pulse width modulation algorithm for vector controlled induction motor drives is used to reduce the steady state ripple in current. Also the newly developed Hybrid PWM technique does not use angle and sector information and hence it simplifies the control algorithm. The conventional Space vector pulse width modulation (CSVPWM) algorithm gives inferior performance at higher...

In general Pulse width modulation (PWM) techniques of a voltage source inverter (VSI) need a sinusoidal reference signal and triangular carrier signal to generate the required modulating signals for the desired output. Modifications in modulating techniques can be considered in two ways, namely modified reference and modified carrier. The existing multilevel carrier based pulse width modulation...

In this paper comparative study of proposed hybrid multilevel inverter (HMI) operating in modified pulse width modulation (PWM) mode with cascaded H-bridge multilevel inverter (CHMI) is done. Two types of HMIs are proposed with same configuration.

Common-mode voltage (CMV) generated by the inverter causes motor bearing failures in multiphase drives.On the other hand, presence of undesired z-component currents in six-phase induction machine (SPIM) leads to extra current losses and have to be considered in pulse width modulation (PWM) techniques. In this paper, it is shown that the presence of z-component currents and CMV in six phase driv...
