COMPARISON OF SPWM AND SVPWM TECHNIQES (original) (raw)

Simulation and Performance of AC Drives Using SVPWM Technique

Drives are mainly categorized into constant-speed and variable-speed drives. AC machines have been used in constant-speed applications, where as DC machines were preferred for variable speed drives. Due to the advancement in power semiconductor devices and microprocessors, AC machines are widely used in variable speed drives. This paper focuses on the simulation and performance evaluation for an ac drive system with Induction motor and PMSM Motor. The focus was based on the simulation of the power circuits using MATLAB/SIMULINK software. The performance of inverter was studied by SVPWM technique. Space Vector Pulse Width Modulation (SVPWM) is a digital technique, which increases the output voltage capability and increases DC bus utilization voltage. The performance of an ac drive system was simulated and evaluated for variable speed operation from no load to rated speed under constant torque operation. The advantages and disadvantages of Induction motor and PMSM are analyzed and presented in this paper

Power Electronic Drives and Control Technology Status: Brief Review

In the human race, 70 % of energy is devoured by electric motors. This rate may be expanded because of the growth of power electronic devices and the fast advancement of automation technology. Most assembling units overall depend on electric motors for their generation, therefore highlighting the requirement for a viable speed control motors to build creation. It is underlined power electronic devices innovation has encountered a dynamic improvement in the previous four decades. As of late, its applications are quick growing in modern, business, private, transportation, utility, aviation and military situations, principally because of the lessening of expense, size, and performance enhancement. Soft computing techniques, especially the neural systems are having as of late huge effect on electrical drives and power devices. Neural systems have created another new edge and development power devices, that is currently a fancy and multidisciplinary innovation that goes through the dynamic improvement as lately. In this article, the significance of power hardware, the late advances in power semiconductor devices, converters, AC motors with variable frequency, the dawn of microprocessors/microcontrollers/microcomputers permitted to actualize and these control methods will be discussed briefly.
