Performance analysis of series-passive filter in 5-phase PWM inverter drive and harmonic study using simulink/matlab

Abstract

Maintaining IEEE Harmonic standards in all Motor drives is most critical while designing. Harmonics has major effects on the output of all the inverters. Several filters are used to suppress the harmonics, there are few drawbacks, increasing number of the components used in the design and bulky circuit components. In the inverters, suppression of all harmonics is the major issue due to its inevitable effect on the load. Series-passive filter is the reliable filter used to reduce the THD. Advancement in the power systems leads to a five phase inverter drives due to applications and advantages over three phase loads. This work represents the performance evaluation of Series-passive filter in 5-phase PWM inverter, reductions of Total Harmonics Distortion are obtained using Simulink/Matlab, and same has been presented.
