Conversor estático de 9 chaves acionando máquina hexafásica.

Abstract

The goal of the study presented in this thesis is to analyze and compare towo voltage source inverters driving a six-phase induction machine. The types of structures analyzed are: the converter of six legs having two semiconductor devices per leg (12 switches) and an inverter composed of three legs - (nine semiconductor devices 9 switches). The converter of 12 switches is the default configuration for driving six-phase loads. Analyzing the numbers of switches aspects, the 9 switches converter shows a clear reduction in the number of components. This paper seeks a more reasoned comparison from the analysis of these topologies with respect to other characteristics, such as: (i) structure or way of connecting devices to the description of the limitations of each structure; (ii) differences in the modulation techniques employed ; (iii) levels of current voltage in each of the devices of the structure; (iv) analysis of performance depending on the amount of conduction and switching losses; (v) performance analysis of the levels of harmonic distortion. Althought the analysis is focused on the comparison of the converters, there is a description of the six-phase machine modeled by vector decomposition and implementation of a control strategy to drive the machine using the rotor flux control technique.
