    Multiphase machine has became popular in many rotational drive applications due to its reliability, high efficiency and high quality of waveforms. Moreover, this machine (e.g. 5-phase induction machine) can provide more options for selecting the most optimum voltage vector since the number of switching devices of the inverter increases that can enhance torque capability and improve dynamic performances. However, the great advantageous offered cannot be realized if the switching and control strategy performed at very low sampling frequency which does not guarantee for the multiphase drive to operate at optimum operations. This paper presents the realization of fivephase sinusoidal PWM signal generator at fast sampling frequency using one-chip programmable gate array (FPGA). It can be shown that the generation of sinusoidal PWM using FPGA can perform the switching frequency of the inverter at 40 kHz switching frequency that may raise potential for excellent drive performances

    Optimal Modeled Six-Phase Space Vector Pulse Width Modulation Method for Stator Voltage Harmonic Suppression

    Dual Y shift 30 six-phase motors are expected to be extensively applied in high-power yet energy-effective fields, and a harmonic-suppressing control strategy plays a vital role in extending their prominent features of low losses and ultra-quiet operation. Aiming at the suppression of harmonic voltages, this paper proposes a six-phase space vector pulse width modulation method based on an optimization model, namely OM-SVPWM. First, four adjacent large vectors are employed in each of 12 sectors on a fundamental sub-plane. Second, the optimization model is constructed to intelligently determine activation durations of the four vectors, where its objective function aims to minimize the synthesis result on a harmonic sub-plane, and its constraint condition is that the synthesis result on the fundamental sub-plane satisfies a reference vector. Finally, to meet the real-time requirement, optimum solutions are obtained by using general central path following algorithm (GCPFA). Simulation and experiment results prove that, the OM-SVPWM performs around 37% better than a state-of-the-art competitive SVPWM in terms of harmonics suppression, which promise the proposed OM-SVPWM conforms to the energy-effective direction in actual engineering applications.Peer reviewe

    Modified digital space vector pulse width modulation realization on low-cost FPGA platform with optimization for 3-phase voltage source inverter

    The realization of power electronic applications on hardware is a challenging task. The digital control circuit strategies are used to overcome the analog control strategies by providing great flexibility with simple equipment and higher switching frequencies. In this manuscript, an area optimized, modified digital space vector (DSV) pulse width modulation is designed and realized on low-cost FPGA. The modified digital space vector pulse width modulation (DSVPWM) uses a phase-locked loop (PLL) to generate clocks using the digital clock manager (DCM). These DCM clocks are used in the DSVPWM module to synchronize the other sub-modules. The voltage generation unit generates the three-phase (3-Ф) voltages and is used in the alpha-beta generation and sector determination unit. The reference active vectors are made by the reference generation unit and used in switching time calculation. The PWM pulses are generated using switching time generation, and lastly, the dead time occurrence unit generates the final SVPWM gate pulses. The modified DSVPWM is synthesized and implemented on Spartan-3E FPGA. The modified DSVPWM utilizes 17% slices, works at 102.45 MHz, and consumes 0.070 W total power. The simulation results and the resource utilization of modified DSVPWM are represented in detail. The modified DSVPWM is compared with existing PWM approaches on different Spartan-series FPGAs with better chip area improvemen

    A Simple Approach of Space-vector Pulse Width Modulation Realization Based on Field Programmable Gate Array

    Employing a field programmable gate array to realize space-vector pulse width modulation is a solution to boost system performance. Although there is much literature in the application of three-phase space-vector pulse width modulation based on field programmable gate arrays, most is on conventional space-vector pulse width modulation with designs that are complicated. This article will present a simple approach to realize five-segment discontinuous space-vector pulse width modulation based on a field programmable gate array, in which the judging of sectors and the calculation of the firing time are simpler with fewer switching losses. The proposed space-vector pulse width modulation has been successfully designed and implemented to drive on a three-phase inverter system that is loaded by an induction machine of 1.5 kW using the APEX20KE Altera field programmable gate array (Altera Corporation, San Jose, California, USA)

    Simulation and Implementation of a High Performance Torque Control Scheme of IM Utilizing FPGA

    Thi paper presents a novel approach to design and implementation of a high perfromane torque control scheme i.e. direct torque control with space vector modulation(DTC-SVM) of three phase induction motor using Field Programmable gate array (FPGA). The conventional direct torque control (DTC) is one of control scheme that is used commonly in induction motor control system. This method supports a very quick and precise torque response. However, the conventional DTC is not perfect and has some disadvantages. To minimize the ripples of the electromagnetic torque and flux linkage and to fix the variable switching frequency produced in the conventional DTC, this paper proposes improved DTC-SVM concept. Both simulation and experimental results show that the proposed scheme can dramatically improve the steady state performance while preserving the dynamic performance of the conventional DTC.DOI:http://dx.doi.org/10.11591/ijece.v2i3.20
