Keywords: Modelling of five phase two-level voltage inverter (FPTLVSI), PWM control scheme for FPTLVSI I. INTRODUCTION RESEARCH interest in the area of multiphase machines has been steadily increasing over the past decade [1].The newest developments are application-driven (marine electric propulsion, electric vehicles (EVs) and hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs), more electric aircraft, locomotive traction, and high-power applications in general) and the consequence of the advantages offered by multiphase machines, when compared to the three-phase equivalents. These are predominantly related to the possibility of reduction of the converter per-phase rating for the given machine power and to significantly improved fault tolerance, since an n-phase machine can continue to operate with a rotating field as long as no more than (n-3) phases are faulted. A further advantage exists if the multiphase machine is designed with concentrated stator windings, since it then becomes possible to enhance the torque production by injection of the low-order stator current harmonics of an appropriate order. Five phase induction machine drive.
controlled rectifier by varying the conduction angles of the thyristors. The frequency of the fundamental output is controlled from the IGBT based voltage source inverter. The subsequent section describes the implantation issues of control of a five-phase voltage source inverter. The motivation behind choosing this structure lies in the fault tolerant nature of a five-phase drive system. It has been advantage of five phase induction motor drive like reduction in phase current, reliable in faulty conditions, reduction in current ripple. II. BLOCK DIAGRAM FIVE PHASE TWO LEVEL VOLTAGE SOURCE INVERTER MODEL As shown in fig.2 each switch in the circuit consists of two power semiconductor devices connected in anti-parallel. One of these is a fully controllable semiconductor, such as a bipolar transistor, MOSFET, or IGBT, while the second is a diode.

III. HARMONICS ANALYSIS OF FPTLVSI. This section presents the comprehensive analysis of simulation results. The performance of two different conduction modes are elaborated in terms of the harmonic content in the phase voltages, line voltages and the distortion in the ac side line current. The Fourier series of the phase-to-neutral voltage for 180° conduction mode is obtained as;
1 sin t 3 sin 3t 2 1 1 V t V dc sin 7t sin 9t … (1) 7 9 1 sin11t ..... 11
Thus two more conduction states are included when compared to further prove the superiority of control at 120° conduction mode. It is observed that the lowest THD is obtained for 120° conduction mode. Fig.4 is also mat lab simulation of FPTLVSI with balance resistive load. It can be simulated and analysis for different firing angles and takes measurement of harmonics behavior. Following Table: 1 shows THD Vs different firing angles for FPTLVSI without any filter circuit.

As per the equation of (4) loss in fundamental voltage in 120° conduction mode is of the order of 4.89% compared to 180° conduction mode. This loss will affect the loss of torque in the driven machine and subsequently the load will be affected. However, the drop in the torque is not very significant compared to the benefits obtained due to better harmonic performance. Performance comparison in terms of harmonic content in output phase voltage, for different conduction modes are presented in fig.10 to 11. It is clearly seen that the harmonic content reduces significantly with reduction in conduction angle. The harmonic content is largest in 180 degree conduction mode and it is least in 120 degree conduction mode. However, the best utilization of available dc link voltage is possible with conventional ten step mode (180 degree conduction mode). It can thus be concluded that a trade-off exist between the loss in fundamental and corresponding gain in terms of lower harmonic content in output waveform is obtained by using 120 degree conduction mode. A comparison of total harmonic distortion in the output phase voltages of five-phase voltage source inverter for different conduction angle is presented. The conduction angles considered are 180°, 162°, 144°, 126°, and 108°.

The PWM technique allows an ace output voltage to be generated that tracks a given modulating signal. A special case is the SPWM technique (the modulating signal is a sinusoidal) that provides, in the linear region, an ac output voltage that varies linearly as a function of the modulation index, and the harmonics are at well-defined frequencies and amplitudes. These features simplify the design of filtering components. Unfortunately, the

Higher voltages are obtained by using the over modulation region ( m a > 1); however, loworder harmonics appear in the ac output voltage. Very large values of the modulation index ( m a > 3.24) lead to a totally square ac output voltage that is considered as the square-wave modulating technique

VI. CONCLUSION A comparison of total harmonic distortion in the output phase voltages of five-phase voltage source inverter for different conduction angle is presented. The conduction angles considered are 180°, 162°, 144°, 126°, and 108°. Thus two more conduction states are included when compared to further prove the superiority of control at 120° conduction mode. It is observed that the lowest THD is obtained for 120° conduction mode.
