Abstract
The pulse width modulation (PWM) inverter is an obvious choice for any industrial and power sector application. Particularly, industrial drives benefit from the higher DC-link utilization, acoustic noise, and vibration industrial standards. Many PWM techniques have been proposed to meet the drives' demand for higher DC-link utilization and lower harmonics suppression and noise reductions. Still, random PWM (RPWM) is the best candidate for reducing the acoustic noises. Few RPWM (RPWM) methods have been developed and investigated for the AC drive's PWM inverter. However, due to the lower randomness of the multiple frequency harmonics spectrum, reducing the drive noise is still challenging. These PWMs dealt with the spreading harmonics, thereby decreasing the harmonic effects on the system. However, these techniques are unsuccessful at maintaining the higher DC-link utilizations. Existing RPWM methods have less randomness and need complex digital circuitry. Therefore, this paper mainly deals with a combined RPWM principle in space vector PWM (SVPWM) to generate random PWM generation using an asymmetric frequency multicarrier called multicarrier random space vector PWM (MCRSVPWM). he SVPWM switching vectors with different frequency carrier are chosen with the aid of a random bi-nary bit generator. The proposed MCRSVPWM generates the pulses with a randomized triangular carrier (1 to 4 kHz), while the conventional RPWM method contains a random pulse position with a fixed frequency triangular carrier. The proposed PWM is capable of eradicating the high-frequency unpleasant acoustic noise more effectually than conventional RPWM with a shorter random frequency range. The simulation study is performed through MATLAB/Simulink for a 2 kW asynchronous induction motor drive. Experimental validation of the proposed MCRSVPWM is tested with a 2 kW six-switch (Power MOSFET-SCH2080KE) inverter power module-fed induction motor drive.
