To supply five-phase variable speed drives, five-phase voltage source inverters are used. Some of the applications of five-phase variable speed drives are traction, electric & hybrid-electric vehicles, and ship propulsion. Different control systems are available for the controlled output of the five-phase VSI, but space vector pulse width modulation is popular because of its simpler digital implementation. In this paper, the SVPWM schemes have proposed and analyzed for the multilevel operation of a five-phase dual voltage source inverter. The proposed techniques do not contribute a voltage balancing issues such as in multilevel neutral point clamped (NPC) inverters. The author analyzed the performance of five-phase VSI based on THD and fundamental components. Matlab/Simulink model has provided for results verification.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
