Abstract

Sensorless speed and torque control of a three-phase induction motor utilizing cascaded H-bridge inverter with unequal selected DC voltage sources (USDCVS) is presented in this study. Several output voltages with minimum distortions and IGBTs are achieved with DC input voltage sources equal to (1, 3, 9) Vdc. The induction motor speed and torque are estimated depending on the instantaneous output phase voltages and currents of the drive circuit. A novel controller circuit is built depending on a modified absolute sinusoidal PWM (MASPWM) technique. Embedded s-function is coded to regenerate switching pulses and get various output levels. Simulation results demonstrate that the USDCVS of the multilevel inverter based on MASPWM technique produces different output levels with acceptable distortion. Also, show an acceptable sensorless speed and torque responses at steady-state and dynamic operation conditions under different speeds and mechanical load torques that explained the strength of the drive and control circuits.
