Space vector PWM technique for a three-level six-phase drive

A space vector pulse-width modulation (SVPWM) strategy for a three-level six-phase drive based on vector space decomposition (VSD) approach is presented for the first time in this paper. The steps, requirements and conditions in determining the right switching sequences for the proposed modulation strategy are explained in detail. The developed SVPWM strategy is then simulated in Matlab/Simulink while driving a symmetrical six-phase induction machine running at no load. Obtained results prove the validity of the algorithm.
