Abstract

A fifth and seventh order harmonic elimination scheme for IM drive with a multilevel dodecagonal voltage space vector structure using a single DC source is proposed in this work. Single DC source requirement makes four quadrant operation of the drive system simpler compared to the multilevel dodecagonal structures presented in literatures before. The space vector structure consists of six concentric dodecagons, combining the advantages of multilevel operation as well as dodecagonal structure. The topology consists of a three-level flying capacitor (FC) inverter cascaded with a capacitor fed H-bridge (CHB) inverter. The FC inverter operating at high voltage switches in a quasi-square wave mode whereas the CHB inverter operating at a lower voltage switches at high frequency to remove the harmonics generated by the FC inverter. Switching losses are low, both in the FC and CHB inverters. Experiment results for open-loop V/f operation are included in this paper showing the effectiveness of the drive scheme.
