Abstract
In this paper, a suitable particle swarm optimization (PSO) is firstly proposed to obtain the pulse width modulation (PWM) switching time which maintaining a required fundamental voltage and a minimal total harmonic distortion (THD) for very high power medium voltage induction motor drives fed by a double three-level inverter (DTI). The simulation results show that double three-level inverter based variable frequency drive system needs switches with lower voltage rating, and performs lower voltage harmonics than one single three-level inverter. After optimizing the PWM switching time by using particle swarm optimization, the motor drive voltage quality improves more.
