Simplified space vector modulation technique for induction motor drives

This paper proposes simplified space vector modulation technique for speed control of induction motor drives. The space vector modulation technique generally has several advantages such as effective bus utilization and reduction in harmonic content. Conventional Space vector modulation technique is computationally complex for on-line implementation. A simplified space vector modulation technique is proposed for ease in digital implementation. The proposed technique is validated for V/F speed control of induction motor drive. The results obtained are presented.
