Description
Summary:An implementation of a harmonic injection pulse width modulation frequency-modulated triangular carrier (HIPWM-FMTC) control strategy applied to a multilevel power inverter feeding an asynchronous motor is presented. The aim was to justify the reduction in acoustic noise emitted by the machine compared with other strategies in the technical literature. In addition, we checked how the THD at the inverter output was reduced compared to the other control techniques used as a reference. The proposed strategy is based on frequency modulation of the triangular carrier. The main advantage of the proposed method is that only one control parameter is required for modifying the electrical spectrum. Therefore, the mechanical natural frequencies and spatial harmonics of the machine can be avoided, and acoustic noise can be reduced. The effectiveness of the technique was demonstrated after laboratory validation by comparing the acoustic results for a 1 kW motor. The results obtained from the laboratory tests are presented and compared with those of other acoustic measurements using different PWM strategies.
