Abstract
This work presents a comprehensive overview about the dual inverter drives in applications related to the electric vehicle industry. The requirement of efficient and integrated power electronic converter circuits has become an essential requirement to the vehicle function. Major research and progress have been made to achieve dual and bidirectional operation of power flow, while minimizing losses, volume and costs. This thesis surveys the single, three phase, and dual inverter structure and operation. The dual structures are earning growing attention due to their capability to provide multiple output voltages to the stator of the electric machine associated with the electric vehicle. The contribution of this work is to study the impact of the major modulation techniques on the regulated, dual inverter drive performance. The selected methods for evaluation include sinusoidal pulse width modulation, third harmonic injection pulse width modulation, and space vector modulation in terms of the drive’s output voltage, fundamental voltage and total harmonic distortion. The second investigation involves the manipulation of phase angle relationships between the gates of the two adjacent inverters, allowing the drive to achieve equal phase voltage and power between both inverters at varying loads.
