ABSTRACT: Pulse
Width Modulated (PWM) inverter-fed induction motor drives are most common in
industrial applications. This paper aims at development of double boost
converter for PWM inverter-fed three-phase
induction motor. The inverter topology is designed with four switches. The
proposed drive system has been simulated using Matlab/Simulink and the
performance of has been assessed in terms of output voltage, output current,
power factor and THD. From the simulation results, it is evident that the three-phase
voltage waveforms of the proposed system are less distorted, with their
currents being more sinusoidal. A comparative analysis has been made with the
conventional six-switch inverter fed drive. The proposed system offered a THD of 1.84%,
whereas for the conventional system it was 13.96%. These results inferred that
the proposed double boost converter with four-switch
based drive scheme exhibits superior performance.
