Abstract

The objective of this paper is to operate of an induction motor drive at an average device switching frequency limited to rated fundamental frequency by using a fifteen-level Hybrid inverter. To reduce the number of separate dc sources, a three-level transistor clamped inverter was used as a cell in the fifteen-level hybrid inverter. The switching angles for each semiconductor switch are then obtained from optimal fifteen-level waveforms based on the criteria to minimize the switching frequency as well as unbalance in dc-link capacitor voltages. Simulation results obtained from the 1.5-kW induction motor drive show THD < 5% for stator currents. Simulation of Hybrid multilevel inverter of single phase 15-level Transistor clamped multilevel inverter is presented and the output waveforms were observed using MATLAB.
