Abstract
This article introduces a novel speed regulation method for three-phase induction motors that employ the HBCCPWM approach, which is implemented on a single-chip FPGA controller. The HBCCPWM technique proved superior to conventional PWM techniques, such as SPWM and SVPWM techniques, by adaption of switching frequency and improvement of total harmonic distortion (THD), which in turn improve motor performance, particularly in dynamic situations. The FPGA platform was selected due to its versatility, low latency, and superior PWM signal generation processing capabilities compared with DSPs and microcontrollers. Computer simulation using MATLAB and experimental results demonstrate robust speed control of the induction motor speeds at different frequencies (55 Hz, 60 Hz, and 65 Hz) and that the current waveform hysteresis is tightly maintained. Furthermore, this innovation exhibited reduced THD of 1.5%, significantly enhancing the power quality, when compared to traditional PWM techniques. Additionally, the paper discusses and presents a real-time monitoring system for the switching frequency, as well as the advantages of FPGA-based control technology for high-performing variable frequency AC drives.
