Abstract: In this paper, a dual inverter configuration has been implemented for induction motor drive. This isolated dual inverter is capable to produce high quality of output voltage and minimize common mode voltage (CMV). To this isolated dual inverter a decoupled space vector based pulse width modulation (PWM) technique is proposed. Conventional space vector based PWM (SVPWM) techniques require reference voltage vector calculation and sector identification. The proposed decoupled SVPWM technique generates gating pulses from instantaneous phase voltages and gives a CMV of ±vdc/6. To evaluate proposed algorithm MATLAB based simulation studies are carried on indirect vector controlled open end winding induction motor drive.
Abstract: This paper discusses two observers, which are used
for the estimation of parameters of PMSM. Former one, reduced
order observer, which is used to estimate the inaccessible parameters
of PMSM. Later one, full order observer, which is used to estimate
all the parameters of PMSM even though some of the parameters are
directly available for measurement, so as to meet with the
insensitivity to the parameter variation. However, the state space
model contains some nonlinear terms i.e. the product of different
state variables. The asymptotic state observer, which approximately
reconstructs the state vector for linear systems without uncertainties,
was presented by Luenberger. In this work, a modified form of such
an observer is used by including a non-linear term involving the
speed. So, both the observers are designed in the framework of
nonlinear control; their stability and rate of convergence is discussed.
