Optimal PWM Strategy for Minimization of Torque Ripplis of a Variable Speed 3phase Induction Motor |
Abstract |
This paper describes the Optimal PWM strategy to reduce a pulsating harmonic torque for a variable-speed drive of 3 phase induction motor. This paper suggests the new Optimal control theory which consists of 1) defining a performance index related to the unwanted effects of the voltage harmonics, (i.e., the components of pulsating harmonic torques) 2) achieving its minimization by a suitable choice of the switching patterns. (i.e., of the commutation angles) This PWM strategy is compared with the conventional SPWM strategy by numerical method. It is believed that this proposed strategy can reduce more harmonic components and pulsating harmonic torques than SPWM strategy. Also, We could verify the validety of the numerical method by a result of simulation analysis of a variable speed 3phase induction motor. |
