Abstract

Power quality issues and drive performance under dynamic conditions are the major concern in traction. This paper proposes an active front-end converter (AFEC) fed 6-ϕ voltage source inverter (VSI) driven induction motor (IM) drive for traction. The AFEC at the 1-ϕ grid side and 6-ϕ VSI at the induction motor side are controlled independently. The proposed converter overcomes the power quality issues associated with the 1-ϕ diode bridge rectifier fed VSI-driven induction motor drive and enhances the drive performance by reducing the torque ripple. The control technique adopted over a 1-ϕ AFEC maintains UPF operation at the grid side and DC-bus voltage is maintained constant under different loading conditions of the induction motor drive. Moreover, the proposed technique adopted over the AFEC mitigates 2f oscillation of the DC-bus voltage. The simulation and experimental results are presented to evaluate the proposed converter’s performance and control technique.
