Study of Induction Motor Drive with Direct Torque Control Scheme and Indirect Field Oriented Control Scheme Using Space Vector Modulation

Study of Induction Motor Drive with Direct Torque Control Scheme and Indirect Field Oriented Control Scheme Using Space Vector Modulation

ABSTRACT:

Induction motors are the starting point to design an electrical drive system which is widely used in many industrial applications. In modern control theory, different mathematical models describe induction motor according to the employed control methods. Vector control strategy can be applied to this electrical motor type in symmetrical three phase version or in unsymmetrical two phase version. The operation of the induction motor can be analyzed similar to a DC motor through this control method. With the Joint progress of the power electronics and numerical electronics it is possible today to deal with the axis control with variable speed in low power applications. With these technological projections, various command approaches have been developed by the scientific community to master in real time, the flux and the torque of the electrical machines, the direct torque control (DTC) scheme being one of the most recent steps in this direction. This scheme provides excellent properties of regulation without rotational speed feedback. In this control scheme the electromagnetic torque and stator flux magnitude are estimated with only stator voltages and currents and this estimation does not depend on motor parameters except for the stator resistance. In this dissertation report conventional DTC scheme has been described. Induction motor has been simulated in stationary d-q reference frame and its free acceleration characteristics are drawn. Conventional DTC scheme has been simulated with a 50 HP, 460V, 60 Hz induction motor. Literature review has been done to study the recent improvements in DTC scheme which somehow is able to overcome the drawbacks of conventional one. The space vector modulation technique (SVPWM) is applied to 2 level inverter control in the vector control based induction motor drive system, thereby dramatically reducing the torque ripple. Later in this project space vector PWM technique will be applied to DTC drive system to reduce the torque ripple.

CONCLUSION:

For any IM drives, Direct torque control is one of the best controllers proposed so far. It allows decoupled control of motor stator flux and electromagnetic torque. From the analysis it is proved that, this strategy of IM control is simpler to implement than other vector control methods as it does not require pulse width modulator and co-ordinate transformations. But it introduces undesired torque and current ripple. DTC scheme uses stationary d-q reference frame with d-axis aligned with the stator axis. Stator voltage space vector defined in this reference frame control the torque and flux. The main inferences from this work are:

1. In transient state, by selecting the fastest accelerating voltage vector which produces maximum slip frequency, highest torque response can be obtained.

2. In steady state, the torque can be maintained constant with small switching frequency by the torque hysteresis comparator by selecting the accelerating vector and the zero voltage vector alternately.

3. In order to get the optimum efficiency in steady state and the highest torque response in transient state at the same time, the flux level can be automatically adjusted.

4. If the switching frequency is extremely low, the control circuit makes some drift which can be compensated easily to minimize the machine parameter variation.

The estimation accuracy of stator flux is very much essential which mostly depends on stator resistance because an error in stator flux estimation will affect the behavior of both torque and flux control loops. The torque and current ripple can be minimized by employing space vector modulation technique.

24-Pulse Rectifier Realization By 3-Phase To Four 3-Phase Transformation Using Conventional Transformers

24-Pulse Rectifier Realization By 3-Phase To Four 3-Phase

Transformation Using Conventional Transformers

ABSTRACT:

 A 24-pulse rectifier has been designed for high voltage, low current applications. Four 3-phase systems are obtained from a single 3-phase source using novel interconnection of conventional single- and 3-phase transformers. From two 30º displaced 3-phase systems feeding two 6-pulse rectifiers that are series connected, a 12-pulse rectifier topology is obtained. Thus, from the four 3-phase systems that are displaced by 15º two 12-pulse rectifiers are obtained that are cascaded to realize a 24-pulse rectifier. Phase shifts of 15º and 30º are made using phasor addition of relevant line voltages with a combination of single-phase and three-phase transformers respectively. PSCAD based simulation and experimental results that confirm the design efficacy are presented.

Implementation Of Perturb And Observe MPPT Of PV System with Direct Control Method Using Buck And Buck boost Converters

Implementation Of Perturb And Observe MPPT Of PV System with Direct Control Method Using Buck And Buck boost Converters

ABSTRACT:

The Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) is a technique used in power electronic circuits to extract maximum energy from the Photovoltaic (PV) Systems. In the recent decades, photovoltaic power generation has become more important due its many benefits such as needs a few maintenance and environmental advantages and fuel free. However, there are two major barriers for the use of PV systems, low energy conversion efficiency and high initial cost. To improve the energy efficiency, it is important to work PV system always at its maximum power point. So far, many researches are conducted and many papers were published and suggested different methods for extracting maximum power point. This paper presents in details implementation of Perturb and Observe MPPT using buck and buck-boost Converters. Some results such as current, voltage and output power for each various combination have been recorded. The simulation has been accomplished in software of MATLAB Math works.

CONCLUSION:

P&O MPPT method is implemented with MATLAB-SIMULINK for simulation. The MPPT method simulated in this paper is able to improve the dynamic and steady state performance of the PV system simultaneously. Through simulation it is observed that the system completes the maximum power point tracking successfully despite of fluctuations. When the external environment changes suddenly the system can track the maximum power point quickly. Both buck and buck-boost converters have succeeded to track the MPP but, buck converter is much more effective specially in suppressing the oscillations produced due the use of P&O technique.

Simulation and Analysis of Perturb and Observe MPPT

Algorithm for PV Array Using ĊUK Converter

ABSTRACT:

This paper presents the comparative analysis between constant duty cycle and Perturb & Observe (P&O) algorithm for extracting the power from Photovoltaic Array (PVA). Because of nonlinear characteristics of PV cell, the maximum power can be extract under particular voltage condition. Therefore, Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) algorithms are used in PVA to maximize the output power. In this paper the MPPT algorithm is implemented using Ćuk converter. The dynamics of PVA is simulated at different solar irradiance and cell temperature. The P&O MPPT technique is a direct control method enables ease to implement and less complexity.

It is shown that PV system output power increases with rise in solar irradiance and fall in cell temperature. Therefore, solar cell performance better in winter season than summer. The P&O gives the optimum duty cycle as compare to Constant duty cycle control, to extract the maximum power from PV system.
