Abstract

The use of induction motor is growing day by day because of

its superiority and high efficiency over DC machine. So for

wide range of use in the industry, this machine requires an

efficient drive circuit arrangement. Currently conventional

voltage source inverter (VSI) or current source inverter (CSI)

is dealing as key part in the field of induction motor drive

circuit. These converters fail to perform at our desire level due

to some crucial drawbacks like they can perform as either

buck or boost operation and they contain considerable amount

of harmonics as well as EMI noise. So replace these

traditional inverters by pulse width modulation (PWM)

control Z-source inverter (ZSI) which offers buck-boost

operation capability by utilizing shoot-through state and

provides less EMI noise. This paper presents an exhaustive analysis, design of impedance network, implementation of

simple boost control PWM technique and simulation of ZSI

for different values of modulation index.

INTRODUCTION

In previous decades, the DC motors were extensively used for

the industrial purposes due to the decoupled torque and flux

that can be obtained by controlling field and armature current

respectively [1]. Though the DC motor provides high starting

torque, it has a number of drawbacks such as it requires high

maintenance and is not suitable for environment [2, 3].

Induction motor has taken the place of a workhorse in

industry instead of DC motors because of its robustness, less

maintenance, high efficiency and low cost [4]. In the past

induction motors were used essentially for constant speed

applications as there was the unavailability of the variable

frequency voltage supply. Output voltage of inverter can be

adjusted by controlling the inverter by PWM method [5, 6].

PWM is the method to control modern power electronic

circuit. The basic idea is to control the duty cycle of a switch

load controllable average voltage. The input DC supply is

either in the form of voltage or current, converted in to

variable output AC voltage [7]. Two prediction based on input

source are VSI and CSI used in industries for variable speed

drive and many other applications [8].

Currently conventional VSI or CSI is dealing as key part in

the field of induction motor drive circuit. These converters

succeed to present at our desire level due to several essential

drawbacks like they can execute as either buck or boost

operation and they contain considerable amount of harmonic

as well as electromagnetic interference (EMI) noise [9]. These

inverters are replaced by PWM control ZSI which offers

buck-boost operation capability by utilizing shoot-through

state (ST) and provides less EMI noise. The PWM inverter is

controlled by three different PWM techniques: Sinusoidal

PWM (SPWM) technique, Selective harmonic elimination

PWM (SHEPWM) technique and Space vector modulation

(SVM) [10, 11, 12]. This paper describes a harmonics

reduction technique which is based on PWM generator to

supply the induction motor. A MATLAB simulation model of

induction motor drive is arranged by using SPWM,

SHEPWM, SVM and ZSI. Then some important motor characteristics such as rotor speed, PWM output,

electromagnetic torque, rotor current and stator current are

observed for three system models at various loading

conditions. The model using ZSI, exhibits efficient

performance in all cases compared to the other models.

Harmonic distortions are harmful for induction motor so it is

necessary to mitigate the harmonics and provide a harmonic

less supply to the induction motor. The main objective of this

paper is to find the improved technique for harmonic

reduction for induction motor. This paper presents an

enhanced ZSI, used to limit the speed of an induction motor.

The ripple of Z-source elements, output voltage source,

current are varied with modulation index and switching

frequency with their harmonic profile.

This paper is the analysis of all the possible states of harmonic

reduction in induction motor. Section II describes the

objective of THD reduction techniques, Section III defines the

outline of different harmonic mitigation techniques and

section IV is to design the impedance network. Method of

designing impedance network is presented in section V.

Simulations are used to authenticate the accuracy of the

design process by considering an illustrative example in

section VI. Finally, conclusions are presented in section VII.

STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM

When the motor is working in healthy condition, the

modulation index and switching frequency are coordinated by

the electric power system. Here modulation index is

m=Am/Ac. Where modulating signal Am is a sinusoidal wave

and Ac is the triangular carrier wave. When a high frequency

triangular carrier wave is compared with the sinusoidal

reference wave then it determines the switching instant of

output voltage [13, 14, 15]. Table 1 show the variation in

modulation index and switching frequency of PWM generator

Modulation index increases with the increase of fundamental

line voltage while the total harmonic distortion (THD)

decreases. Thus THD can be reduced by increasing

modulation index. Here modulation index is fixed at m=0.8.

Switching frequency increases, harmonic loss decreases but

above a particular level of switching frequency THD again

increases. So, a moderate value of switching frequency is

required for PWM fed induction motor [16, 17]. Induction

motors have THD, this drawback can be overcome by using

PWM techniques and ZSI. THD reduction control strategies

are applied in induction motor which decreases the switching

angles of non-sinusoidal waveforms. Figure 1 shows the

detailed description of ZSI, PWM techniques and THD

reduction [18, 19, 20, 21].

Three-phase electronic power converters are controlled by

PWM and have a wide range of applications for DC to AC

power supplies and AC machine drives.

HARMONIC MITIGATION TECHNIQUES

Harmonic distortion is one of the major concerns in the area

of electrical power quality. Because of their potential negative

impacts, the uncontrolled flow of harmonics in power systems

is prevented by employing various mitigation methods [22,

23]. The harmonic contents can be reduced with the help of

PWM techniques and ZSI. PWM techniques mitigate the

harmonics in induction motor and Z-source to control the

number of modulation index and minimize the shoot-through

state (ST). Different approaches in harmonic mitigation

techniques are shown in figure 2 [24, 25, 26].

Various techniques have been devised by many researches for

controlling the output current of a PWM voltage-fed inverter.

A current control technique is also devised for three-phase

PWM AC/DC converters. Table 2 shows the pros and cons of

different PWM techniques [27, 28, 29].

Compared to SPWM with the same

SVM can achieve 15% more basic

component than SPWM

Decrease of input current THD and

increase of power factor are desired [37]

Cons

Increase switching losses due

to high PWM frequency [33]

Complexity increase

No flexible too control [34]

It is difficult to solve the SVM

expressions as these are extremely

nonlinear in nature and may produce

simple, multiple, or even no solutions for

a meticulous value of modulation index

[38, 39]

PROPOSED TECHNIQUE

The ZSI rectifies the associated problems with the VSI and

CSI. The symmetrical impedance network connects the source

to the load through the inverter. The impedance network

consists of two equal inductors and two equal capacitors as

This network acts as a second order filter. In this impedance

network a constant impedance output voltage is fed to the

three-phase inverter main circuit. Depending upon the gating

signal, the inverter operates and this output is fed to the three-

phase AC load/motor. The number of control methods are

used to control ZSI, which include the variation in modulation

index and switching frequency. The closed loop speed control

scheme utilized by slip regulation of combined inverter and

induction machine improves the dynamic performance. The

speed loop error generates the slip speed command ( *

sl )

through the proportional-integral controller and limiter. The

slip is added to the speed feedback signal ( r ) to generate the

synchronous speed command ( *s ) [40, 41, 42]. The

synchronous speed command generates the voltage command

(Vs) through a Volts/Hz function generator as shows in figure

The control strategy of the ZSI is an important issue and

several feedback control strategies have been investigated in

recent publications. There are four methods to control the ZSI

DC-link voltage: simple ST boost control (SBC), maximum

ST boost control (MBC), maximum constant ST boost control

(MCBC) and modified space vector modulation ST control

method (MSVM). Following control methods are show in

SIMULATION AND RESULTS

In this section the various condition of harmonic reduction

and controlling of THD are describes. This paper defines two

different control method of motor drive: PWM and Z-source.

PWM technique is connected to output link for controlling

speed regulation and Z-source network is connected to DC-

link for controlling ST switching states.

generator is used for triggering purpose of inverter and a step-

up transformer is used to step-up the voltage signals. A three-

source via a transformer. Stator current harmonics is analyzed

with fast fourier transform (FFT) show in figure 6. In this

model THD is 24.66 % without using any mitigation

technique. Table 4 shows parameters of three-phase induction

A.1 Three-phase induction motor with PWM

PWM technique is to control output voltage and harmonic

reduction. PWM is commonly used technique for controlling

power in inertial electrical devices, made practical by modern

electronic power switches. Here PWM techniques like

SPWM, SHEPWM and SVM are applied to inverter and it

also studies the performance of the induction motor.

A.1.1 Sinusoidal Pulse Width Modulation

The MATLAB simulation model is show in figure 7. A

snubber circuit is used between rectifier and inverter. A PWM

generator is used to trigger the inverter. As perfect output

waveforms are basic requirement for the smooth running of

the induction motor. PWM technique is a technique which is

used to mitigate the harmonics and speed control of induction

motors. Figure 8 show the stator current responses of IM

when at time 0.4 sec. Stator current waveform attains a steady

state at near 0.4 sec. For an input DC voltage of 600 V, the

circuit produces three-phase AC voltage output. This load is

Y-connected and purely inductive in nature. Figure 9 shows

the stator current and PWM inverter voltage waveform. THD

is controlled till 11.61% therefore in the proposed simulation

model the accurate maximum frequency increases efficiency

of the motor. Figure 10 shows the PWM output voltage

waveforms and THD of inverter.

A.1.2 Selected Harmonic Elimination PWM Technique

Compared with other PWM topologies, only the SHEPWM

based techniques work effectively at low switching

frequencies and theoretically provides the best output voltage

and current quality. Figure 11, show the simulation model of

SHEPWM fed induction motor. The output waveforms for

rotor current and stator current were obtained. The following

are rotor and stator currents in the induction motor showing

figure 12 and 13. This output is not pure because of many

harmonics. Both the stator and rotor currents exhibit high

transients during the starting of the motor. Stator and rotor

current settle down to low amplitude sinusoidal oscillations.

Figure 14 shows the THD in SHEPWM fed induction motor.

A.1.3 Space Vector Modulation

The SVM control system model is used to generate the SVM

control signal for inverter and verify the output results are

shown in figure 15. The space vector Vref with magnitude Vm

rotates in a circular orbit at angular velocity u, where the

direction of rotation depends on the phase sequence of

voltages are show in figure 16. With the sinusoidal three-

phase command voltage the composite PWM fabrication at

the inverter output should be such that the average voltage

follows these command voltage with minimum amount of

harmonic distortion.

Figure 15. Simulation model of SVM fed induction motor

Figure 16. Space vector trajectory

Figure 17 shows the stator current of SVM is an advanced

technique used for variable frequency drive applications. It

utilizes DC bus voltage more effectively and generates less

THD in the three-phase VSI. Figure 18 shows the control

signal generated by SVM. SVM utilize a disordered changing

switching frequency to spread the harmonics continuously to a

wide band area so that the peak harmonics can be reduced.

Simulation has been carried out by varying the modulation

index between 0 and 1. Figure 19 shows the voltage waveform

of phase to neutral SVM inverter. Two popular modulation

strategies have been implemented in the SVM: alternating

zero vector strategy and symmetrical modulation strategy.

Figure 20 shows the harmonics of rotor current of induction

motor fed by SVM inverter with the help of fourier block

present in simulink.

SVM output waveforms have less harmonics, therefore to

achieve better performance for inverter SVM algorithm in the

ZSI is preferred. THD of stator and rotor current is shown

In this model an induction motor drive system with the use of

ZSI is implemented. Figure 23 show simulation model to

verify the Z-source results, the simulations are conducted with

initial system parameters. Here, inductance is 4mh and

capacitance is 300mf.

Figure 23. Simulation model of ZSI fed induction motor

The block diagram of three-phase ZSI fed induction motor is

shown in figure 24. It is frequently essential to control the

output voltage of inverter from the constant V/f control of an

induction motor [43]. PWM based firing of inverter provides

the best constant V/f and controlling of the speed of induction

motor [44, 45, 46].

In this ZSI conventional control method modulation index are

kept high so that minimum stress on the device are obtained.

Simulation model shows that motor output line current is

reduced to large extent. Three-phase stator current waveforms

and stator voltage for a given load condition is shown in the

figure 25 and 26 respectively. The ZSI can be improved by

controlling capacitor voltage. The purpose of the capacitor is

to absorb the current ripple and maintain a fairly constant

voltage so as to keep the output voltage sinusoidal. The

proposed control method generates the ST duty ratio by

controlling both the inductor current and the capacitor voltage

of the ZSI as shown in figure 27.

The simulink block diagram is designed to obtain the different

waveforms. Figure 22 describes the satisfactory performance

of a drive, output should be ripple free so that the input taken

sinusoidal waveform as compared to the traditional PWM

inverter. Due to this operational behaviour ZSI can boost the

output voltage to any value greater than input voltage as

shows in figure 29.

The speed control of such motors can be achieved by

controlling the applied voltage on the control operation of

ZSI. Table 8 represents the changes in THD of ZSI and VSI

according to different modulation index.

The THD in stator current is lower in case of Z-source fed

induction motor. The ZSI is analyzed using VSI. The

distinctive feature of the ZSI is that the output AC voltage can

be any value between zero and infinity regardless of the input

DC voltage [14]. That is, ZSI is a buck-boost inverter that has

a extensive range of accessible voltage. The traditional VSI

and CSI cannot provide such features.

CONCLUSIONS

Induction motor drive system with the use of PWM and ZSI

technique describe new approaches towards control of motor

drive over traditional control methods. PWM technique in

induction motor investigates changes in THD and shows the

effectiveness of harmonics. PWM parameter variation shows

that modulation index and switching frequency are inversely

proposition to each other and Z-source inverter take place in

the field for better performance of induction motor. In this

field one step ahead technique is used where VSI and ZSI

comparison shows that Z-source impedance network increases

the range of output voltage of inverter and reduces THD in

stator current. This paper presents an enhanced ZSI, used to

limit the speed of an induction motor.
