Multidimensional comparison of two-level and three-level DC/AC converters for a 120 kW permanent magnet synchronous machine (PMSM) drive is carried out in this study. Comparison of two topologies with Sinusoidal Pulse Width Modulation (SPWM) and Space Vector Pulse Width Modulation (SVPWM) by means of output current THD, conduction and switching losses, thermal stresses on semiconductors and switching frequency limitation are investigated at various operating points. Electro-thermal simulation of both topologies are achieved using PLECS tool with Silicon IGBT and diode pairs from SEMIKRON. Results of these analysis show the limitations of two-level inverter topology in terms of the switching frequency and point out the advantage of three-level inverter in high speed PMSM drives.

Comparison of Inverter Topologies Suited for Integrated Modular Motor Drive Applications Ugur, Mesut; Sarac, Hakan; Keysan, Ozan (2018-08-30) In this paper, various inverter topologies are compared for integrated modular motor drive (IMMD) applications. Two-level voltage source inverter (2L-VSI), three level voltage source inverter (3L-VSI) and series/parallel combinations of these topologies with system level modularity are compared in terms of voltage and current harmonic spectrum, passive component sizes and motor drive efficiency. New generation wide band-gap GaN power semiconductor devices are utilized in modular topologies and they are comp...
Design and implemention of a three phase grid connected SiC solar inverter Canver, Mehmet; Ermiş, Muammer; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2018) In this research work a 30 kW grid connected voltage source three-phase inverter with SiC MOSFET module has been designed and implemented, in order to work with a phase-shifted full bridge (PSFB) maximum power point tracker (MPPT) converter, in such a way that these two converters compose a full system solution. The emergence of commercial SiC based power MOSFETs, which have short turnon and turn-off times, has enabled to increase switching frequency as compared to traditional Si based switching components....
Design of Grid Connected PWM Converters Considering Topology and PWM Methods for Low-Voltage Renewable Energy Applications Kantar, Emre; Hava, Ahmet Masum (2014-05-21) This paper assesses the feasibility three-phase PWM three-level voltage source converters (VSCs), namely NPC-type VSC (3L-NPC) and T-type VSC (3L-T) as alternatives to standard three-phase PWM two-level VSC (2L-VSC) for low-voltage grid interface applications, The topological performances are compared through a design algorithm regarding varying switching frequency, load condition, modulation index, and converter side inductance under distinct pulse-width modulation methods, Design of the LCL filter is also...
Calculation of core losses of a six-phase induction motor with third harmonic current injection Büyükbaş, Afşin; Ertan, Hulusi Bülent; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2004) The advantages of using a six-phase induction motor for industrial drives, over the conventional three-phase drive can be summarized as improved reliability, reduction on the power ratings for the static converters and harmonic reduction. A technique of injecting third harmonic zero sequence current components in the phase currents to improve the machine torque density was presented recently by another research study. However, to meaninigfully evaluate the performnce of such machines and/or to be able to ma...
Comparison of Matrix Converter Induction Motor Drive Control Methods Lettl, Jiri; Kuzmanovic, Dragan; Fligl, Stanislav (2011-09-10) In this paper, the implementation of the Field Oriented Control and the Direct Torque Control in matrix converter supplied induction motor drives is analysed, and compared with the implementation in drives supplied by the Voltage Source Inverter. The analysis is accompanied by the results of numerical simulations and experimental implementations of these two control methods.
