This paper presents modelling and simulation of five-phase induction motor fed with pulse width modulated five-phase multilevel voltage source inverter. The conventional and diode clamped multilevel five-phase inverter configurations are reviewed with pulse width modulation (PWM) techniques. A hybrid three-level inverter topology with less number of components count is proposed for five-phase induction motor drive.

INTRODUCTION Multiphase (more than three phase) machines are alternating current (AC) machines that are known for a stator winding [1-6]. They consist of generic number of phases. Recently, electric machines driven by multiphase inverter technology have many advantages over the conventional three phase machine and inverters. For instance, in decreasing the amplitude and increasing the frequency of torque pulsation, higher torque density, reducing the rotor harmonic current distortion per phase without increasing the voltage per phase, lowering the dc-link current harmonics, better noise characteristics, higher reliability and high fault tolerance [7-9]. Three phase induction motors have wide range of applications, thus, they are invariably used in many residential, commercial, industrial and utility applications due to their low cost, reliable operation, robust operation and low maintenance. Multiphase motor

drives with increased phase number lead to an improvement in medium to high power drives application. The multiphase induction motor finds application in a particular and vital area where high reliability is needed, for instance; Electric vehicle/Hybrid Electric vehicles, aerospace application, ship propulsion and locomotive traction, battery powered electric vehicles and high power application [10 – 12]. The performance analysis of five-phase and three phase induction motor was proposed [13]. The performance analyses are carried out using conventional five and three phase inverter topologies. The author observed that the five-phase induction motor has a good performance over the three-phase induction motor. A comparative study between three phase and five phase induction motor by using a converter topology are described in [14]. The author worked on the challenges of fault occurring on both phases. It is noticed that

the five phase converter tolerates fault to a greater extent than the conventional three phase. A step by step approach of a dynamic modeling of five phase induction motor was carried out by authors in [15]. Also, an output total harmonic distortion (THD) of the five phase inverter configurations and agreeing dynamic performance of five phase induction motor are researched by [16]. The author successfully implemented the proposed inverter topology with induction motor load. The modeling and simulation of five phase inverter fed induction motor drive and three phase inverter fed induction motor drive was presented in [17]. The output of the five-leg inverter and three leg inverters is controlled by SPWM control technique method using Matlab/Simulink software. The author concluded that the ripple content of various parameters (current, torque and speed) can be smoothened by supplying the motor with five phase supply than three phase supply. Also Sequential Five Leg Inverter for Five Phase Supply is presented in [18]. The authors used space vector modulation strategy though time consuming and complex calculation involvement for the analysis and performance evaluation. THD with less harmonic content was obtained.This paper presents the Modeling and Simulation of Five Phase Induction Motor Fed with Five Phase Hybrid Multilevel Voltage Source Inverter Topologies. The structure of this paper is

organized as follows. Section-II deals with the five-phase conventional inverter topology with sinusoidal pulse width modulation (SPWM) techniques. Also, switching sequence of five phase inverter presented. Section-III gives the five-phase diode clamped and hybrid inverter configurations with their mode of operations. Section-IV depicts the mathematical modeling of five phase induction motor which includes the q-d-0 axis equivalent circuit of five phase induction motor in arbitrary reference frame. Section-V presented mathematical model implementation using MATLAB/Simulink. In section VI, MATLAB/Simulink simulation results are presented and discussed. Finally, Section-VII presents the conclusion part. CONVENTIONAL FIVE PHASE INVERTER TOPOLOGY The basic power circuit topology of conventional five phase voltage source inverter is shown in Fig. 1. Insulated gate bipolar transistor (IGBT) is used as the power switches. The anti-parallel diodes provide reverse current path such that when a particular IGBT is ON, one output terminal and one input terminal will be connected. In multiphase inverter n number of phases can be generated, as each leg of the inverter represents a phase, thus by increasing the number of legs in the inverter, the number of phases can equally be increased.

inverter topology, the upper three switches

and lower two switches are turned on at

same time and vice versa. So, ten modes of

operation are obtained, thereby making

each switch to conduct 36 degrees per

cycle. Two switches form one leg of the

inverter and they are complimentary to

each other during the mode of operation.

Harmonics of order five and multiples of

five are absent from both the line to line

and line to neutral voltages and

consequently absent from the current [16].

Appendix B denotes the switching vectors,

phase voltages, and output line-to-line

voltages of the conventional five-phase

inverter topology.

Five Phase Sinusoidal Pulse-width

Modulated Inverter

In ten step inverters under sinusoidal pulse

width modulation control technique, the

output voltage waveforms are similar to

fundamental output voltage form of

multilevel inverter topologies, thus total

harmonic distortion will be high and will

equally degrade the performance of the

induction motor. The modulated pulses as

shown in Fig. 3 are obtained by comparing a

sinusoidal reference wave with triangular

carrier wave. The inverter output frequency

can be varied by varying the frequency of

the reference wave.

MULTILEVEL FIVE PHASE

INVERTER TOPOLOGIES

Three-phase multilevel inverter topologies

of diode clamped and hybrid are extended

to five phase. Fig. 4 shows the inverter

power circuit for three-level five-phase

diode clamped configuration. While Fig. 6

shows the hybrid inverter power circuit

with less number of circuit components for

three-level five-phase topology.

Three Level Diode Clamped Inverter

Configuration

This circuit topology consists of two

battery sources connected in series whose

junction serves as a neutral point. The

three-level output voltage is generated as

dcV ,2

dcV,0. Each leg or pole voltage

consists of four power switches. In order

to improve on output voltage performance,

the number of power switches and series

battery have to be increased.

Consequently, increasing the circuit

performance increases its cost, switching

losses, weight and complexity of the

circuit configuration. The firing signals are

generated by comparing the carrier and

reference signals as shown in Fig. 5.

Three-Level Hybrid Inverter

Configuration

This circuit topology consists of two

battery sources connected in series whose

junction serves as a neutral point and a

bidirectional switch is connected at this

point. The three-level output voltage is

generated as: dcV ,2

dcV, 0. Each leg or pole

and one bidirectional switch which

consists of four diodes and one power

switch as shown in Fig. 6. In order to

CONCLUSION

The investigation in the area of multi-

phase inverter and induction machine

indicates that it is technically viable to use

phase number higher than three in

multilevel inverters and induction

machines. The successful accomplishment

of the proposed inverter configurations

connection scheme is elaborated by using

simulation results. Then, from the above

conventional and three-level five-phase

inverters, the hybrid inverter topology

showed some better performance based on

the following: at 0.0127secs maximum

torque of 34.54Nm occurred, maximum

stator current occurred for 0.18secs with a

value of 10A, 9.99% total harmonic

distortion was obtained and 15KW power

rating was obtained. Therefore, this hybrid

inverter circuit configuration can be used

instead of three-level five-phase diode

clamped inverter topology for better

performance and economical operation.
