Description

The Average-Value Inverter block models an average-value and full-wave inverter. It computes the three-phase AC voltage output from inverter DC voltage by using the duty cycle information.

Equations

These equations describe how the block computes the three-phase AC voltage.

$$D_0=\frac{(D_a+D_b+D_c)}{3}$$

$$V_a=V_{dc}\times (D_a-D_0)$$

$$V_b=V_{dc}\times (D_b-D_0)$$

$$V_c=V_{dc}\times (D_c-D_0)$$

where:

• $$D_a$$, $$D_b$$, and $$D_c$$ are the modulation indices ranging between 0 and 1.

• $$V_{dc}$$ is the DC bus voltage of the inverter (Volts).

• $$V_a$$, $$V_b$$, and $$V_c$$ are the output three-phase voltages (Volts).

Examples

Field-Oriented Control of Induction Motor Using Speed Sensor

Implements the field-oriented control (FOC) technique to control the speed of a three-phase AC induction motor (ACIM). The FOC algorithm requires rotor speed feedback, which is obtained in this example by using a quadrature encoder sensor. For details about FOC, see Field-Oriented Control.

Field-Oriented Control of PMSM Using Hall Sensor

Implements the field-oriented control (FOC) technique to control the speed of a three-phase permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM). The FOC algorithm requires rotor position feedback, which is obtained by a Hall sensor. For details about FOC, see Field-Oriented Control.
