INTRODUCTION TO INVERTER• A power inverter, or inverter, is an electronic device or circuitry that

changes direct current (DC) to alternating current (AC).• The input voltage, output voltage and frequency, and

overall power handling depend on the design of the specific device or circuitry. The inverter does not produce any power; the power is provided by the DC source.

5

CONCEPT OF MULTI-LEVEL INVERTER Mostly a two-level inverter is used in order to generate the AC voltage from DC voltage A two-level Inverter creates two different voltages for the load---

If Input Voltage is VdcThen it produces output as +Vdc/2 AND –Vdc/2 based on switching of power devices.

This method of generating AC output seems to be Effective but posses following drawbacks:• High Harmonic Distortion in Output Voltage.• High dv/dt.

6

CONCEPT OF MULTI-LEVEL INVERTER In order to create a smoother stepped output waveform, more than two voltage levels are combined together and the output waveform obtained in this case has lower dv/dt and also lower harmonic distortions.

2-Level output 3-Level Output 5-Level Output

Smoothness of the waveform is proportional to the voltage levels, as we increase the voltage level the waveform becomes smoother but the complexity of controller circuit and components also increase.

Voltage Waveform Type Number of levels

Line-Line Voltage 0 Level, +ve or -ve levels

Phase-Neutral Voltage 0 Level, +ve Levels & -ve Levels

MULTI LEVEL INVERTER TOPOLOGIES The elementary concept of a multilevel converter to achieve higher power is to use a series of

power semiconductor switches with several lower voltage dc sources to perform the power conversion by synthesizing a staircase voltage waveform.

Capacitors, batteries, and renewable energy voltage sources can be used as the multiple dc voltage sources.

however, the rated voltage of the power semiconductor switches depends only upon the rating of the dc voltage sources to which they are connected.

There are several topologies of multilevel inverters available. The difference lies in the mechanism of switching and the source of input voltage to the multilevel inverters. Three most commonly used multilevel inverter topologies are:

• Cascaded H-bridge multilevel inverters• Diode Clamped multilevel inverters• Flying Capacitor multilevel inverters

Advantages of Multilevel Inverters:• Better Staircase waveform Quality.• Lower Common-Mode (CM) Voltage.• Less Distorted Input Current.• Possibility of Higher Switching Frequency.

MULTI LEVEL INVERTER TOPOLOGIESCASCADE H-BRIGDE MULTI LEVEL INVERTER

Each cell contains one H-bridge and the output voltage generated by this multilevel inverter is actually the sum of all the voltages generated by each cell i.e. if there are k cells in a H-bridge multilevel inverter then number of output voltage levels will be 2k+1.

Advantages of Cascade H Bridge Multilevel Inverters• Output voltages levels are doubled the number of sources• Manufacturing can be done easily and quickly• Packaging and Layout is modularized.• Cheap

Disadvantages of Cascade H Bridge Multilevel Inverters• Every H Bridge needs a separate dc source.• Limited applications due to large number of sources.

MULTI LEVEL INVERTER TOPOLOGIESDIODE CLAMPED MULTI LEVEL INVERTER

This topology uses clamping diodes in order to limit the voltage stress of power devices. It was first proposed in 1981 by Nabae, Takashi and Akagi. A k level diode clamped inverter needs

• (2k – 2) switching devices, • (k – 1) input voltage source and • (k – 1) (k – 2) diodes in order to operate.

Vdc is the voltage present across each diode and the switch.

MULTI LEVEL INVERTER TOPOLOGIESDIODE CLAMPED MULTI LEVEL INVERTER

Five level diode clamp multi-level inverter (one leg) Switching states in one leg of the five-level diode clamped inverter

Advantages of Diode Clamped Multilevel Inverters • Capacitance of the capacitors used is low.• Back to back inverters can be used.• Capacitors are pre charged.• At fundamental frequency, efficiency is high.Disadvantages of Diode Clamped Multilevel Inverters• Clamping diodes are increased with the increase of each level.• Dc level will discharge when control and monitoring are not precise.

11

MULTI LEVEL INVERTER TOPOLOGIESFLYING CAPACITOR MULTILEVEL INVERTER

This configuration is quite similar to previous one except the difference that here flying capacitors is used in order to limit the voltage instead of diodes.

The input DC voltages are divided by the capacitors here. The voltage over each capacitor and each switch is Vdc. A k level flying capacitor inverter requires

• (k - 1) x (k - 2)/2 auxiliary capacitors per phase leg• (2k – 2) switches and • (k – 1) number of capacitors in order to operate.

Switching state is same as diode clamped Multilevel Inverter

Advantages of Flying Capacitor Multilevel Inverters• Static var generation is the best application of Capacitor Clamped Multilevel Inverters.• For balancing capacitors’ voltage levels, phase redundancies are available.• We can control reactive and real power flow

Disadvantages of Flying Capacitor Multilevel Inverters• Voltage control is difficult for all the capacitors• Complex startup• Switching efficiency is poor• Capacitors are expansive than diodes

Sinusoidal PWM Technique In this technique, an isosceles triangle carrier wave of frequency fc is compared with the fundamental

frequency fr sinusoidal modulating wave, and the points of intersection determines the switching points of power devices.

Two important parameters of the design process are • Amplitude Modulation Index Ma where Vr = Peak amplitude of reference control signals Vc = Peak amplitude of the Triangular carrier wave.• Frequency Modulation Index Mf = where fc = frequency of the carrier wave fr = reference sinusoidal signal frequency.

Ma determines the magnitude of output Voltage fr controls the frequency of output voltage fc determines switching frequency of power semiconductor devices.

13

Sinusoidal PWM Technique Types of Multiple Carrier-based SPWM Techniques:

Sinusoidal PWM can be classified according to carrier and modulating signals. This work used the intersection of a sine wave with a triangular wave to generate firing pulses.There are many alternative strategies, such as:

I. In-Phase Disposition (PD)II. Phase Opposition Disposition (POD)III. Alternative Phase Opposition Disposition (APOD)

I. In-Phase Disposition (PD):

In this technique, All the triangular carrier waves are In-Phase with each other.

14

Sinusoidal PWM TechniqueII. Phase Opposition Disposition (POD):

In this technique, the carrier signal above Zero reference are In-Phase but Phase shifted by 180° from those carrier signals which are below zero reference.

III. Alternative Phase Opposition Disposition (APOD): In this method, each carrier signal is phase shifted by 180° from the adjacent carrier signal.

15

MODELING OF PHASE DISPOSITION(PD) MODULATION TECHNIQUE

GENERATION OF MODULATING SINE WAVE In order to generate fundamental component of output voltage at 50Hz frequency, the frequency of reference sine wave is set to 50Hz itself.

This option is used to apply PHASE SHIFT in Sine wave in terms of RADIANS. 120° = 2*pi/3240° = -2*pi/3

This option is used to apply desired frequency of Sine wave in terms of RADIANS

16

MODELING OF PHASE DISPOSITION(PD) MODULATION TECHNIQUE

GENERATION OF TRIANGULAR CARRIER WAVE Let the switching frequency, fs = 1.1 kHz Fundamental(Output) Frequency, fr = 50 HzHence, Frequency Modulation ratio, Mf = 22() which means there exist 22 cycles of triangular wave for each cycle of Sine wave.Time Period, = = 9.09 * 10-4 sec. Let, = 0.0002273 sec.

MODELING OF PHASE DISPOSITION(PD) MODULATION TECHNIQUE

GENERATION OF FIRING PULSES PD SPWM GENERATION FOR 3-LEVEL INVERTER :• Three level pulse width modulated waveforms can be generated by sine-carrier PWM. • Sine carrier PWM is generated by comparing the three reference control signals (one for each phase) with two

• A model of a 3-Phase induction motor was setup in MATLAB SIMULINK and the rotor and stator currents, speed & electromagnetic torque were observed with different values of rotor and stator resistances and impedances.

• Stator Inductance:Low ~ 0.05mHMedium ~ 0.7mHHigh ~ 2mH

• Rotor Resistance:Low ~ 0.1 ohmHigh ~ 0.5 ohm

• Stator Resistance:Low ~ 0.16 ohmHigh ~ 0.8 ohm

All the simulations were made for Zero Load Torque. However, the inertia and friction were taken into consideration.

Study of Transients during Starting of 3-Phase Induction Motor

On the basis of the above outcomes, the following observations were made: • On increasing the motor inductance (either rotor or stator), the

transients lasted for longer period i.e., the machine took longer time to achieve its steady state speed, current and torque. Also the start was a bit jerky.

• On increasing the rotor resistance, there was no effect on the steady state time but the machine started with lesser jerks, i.e., the fluctuations in the transient period was reduced. Also the maximum torque occurred at a lower speed.

• On increasing the stator resistance, the steady state time increased as well as the machine started with more jerks. Thus the stator resistance must be kept as low as possible.

CONCLUSION This Presentation briefly explains the theory of Phase Disposition Sinusoidal Pulse Width

Modulation (PDSPWM) for three and five level inverter. The simulation of 3-Level and 5-Level Diode clamped multilevel inverter was carried

using sinusoidal pulse width modulation (PWM). It has shown that reduction in line voltage THD takes place as we move from three level

inverter to five level inverter and performance of both inverters were investigated using R Load.

Also a comparison of %THD for both the inverters has been tabulated for different values of amplitude modulation index (ma).

Performance characteristics of induction motor connected to Conventional 2-Level and Diode Clamped multi-level inverter has been studied and found that as the level of inverter increases motor performance becomes better.

Transient during starting of 3-Phase I.M. are studied for variable motor parameters. MATLAB Code is generated to plot the Speed-Torque Characteristics of Open Loop

controlled Induction Motor. Open loop constant V/Hz speed control of I.M. can be easily achieved from Multi Level

Inverters just by manually varying the MODULATION INDEX in SPWM.
