Analysis and Control of Torque Pulsations in Current Fed Induction Motor Drives

Abstract

Three types of feedback compensation schemes are described which can be used to reduce the torque pulsations which normally occur when induction machines are supplied from a current source inverter. The approach is verified both by a aetailed computer simulation and also by test results from an actual system.Limitations of the method near zero slip frequency (no load) is discussed and a means suggested for elimination of the problem.
