Summary on Grant Application Form |
|
The two year programme aims to develop a converter-inverter arrangement which will provide for true four quadrant capability from induction motor drives with high input power factor at low cost. A simple low cost, bi-directional converter to provide the interface between the utility supply and a conventional PWM inverter has already been developed and validated at Nottingham. This project is concerned with coordinating the control of the inverter with that of the converter, using Transputer parallel processors, to provide optimal performance during rapid power reversal and to enhance the drive protection. In addition, enhanced PWM vector control methods will be investigated which are able to take advantage of the higher than normal DC link voltage provided by the bi-directional converter.
