Abstract :
For variable speed applications, an inverter with a voltage source is typically used to provide a three-phase induction motor that has a variable frequency as well as a changeable voltage. Among the several distinct varieties of multilevel inverters, a neutral point clamped three-level inverter (NPCTLI), which is appropriate for transformer-less grid-side wind turbines, is used in this work. Additionally, to gain a high level of power quality and low-pass passive filters, low distortion with two series of inductors and capacitors (LCL) filters are used. The LCL filter is used to link an inverter to a grid-connected system, eliminating the need for a transformer Problems with shoot-through are caused in the bridge legs of an NPC-TLI when an LCL filter and a neutral point clamped multilevel inverter are used. Output voltage suitably in the line side of the inverter is gained using an appropriate pulse width modulation (PWM) approach. PWM generation can be separated into two categories: triangle comparison based PWM (TCPWM) and space vector based PWM (SVPWM). SVPWM control scheme for NPC inverter gives higher reliability and outstanding dynamic performance as compared to other techniques. In order to address this issue, a space vector pulse width modulation control (SVPWMC) is used for great current control and enhanced voltage performance for NPCTLI. The results demonstrated that this kind of filter reduces the level of harmonic distortion at the lowest switching frequencies. This structure permits the basic waveform component to be sent to the output when the harmonic components are filtered away. The proposed control method greatly improves output efficiency and reduces total harmonic distortion in wind turbines, according to the findings.
