Modeling and Simulation of Five-Phase Induction Motor Fed With Pulse Width Modulated Five-Phase Multilevel Voltage Source Inverter Topologies

Abstract

This paper presents modelling and simulation of five-phase induction motor fed with pulse
width modulated five-phase multilevel voltage source inverter. The conventional and diode
clamped multilevel five-phase inverter configurations are reviewed with pulse width
modulation (PWM) techniques. A hybrid three-level inverter topology with less number of
components count is proposed for five-phase induction motor drive. The dynamic analysis of
five-phase voltage equations in d-q axis of the induction motor are stated and modelled using
Matlab/Simulink/Simscape blocks. The simulation results based on conventional and threelevel five-phase inverters are displayed while the hybrid inverter topology showed some
better performance based on the following: : at 0.0127secs maximum torque of 34.54Nm
occurred, maximum stator current occurred for 0.18secs with a value of 10A, 9.99% total
harmonic distortion was obtained and 15KW power rating was obtained.
