(Abstract) In this paper, a new switching table for Direct Torque Control (DTC) of a nine-level Multi Point Clamped (MPC) Voltage Source Inverter (VSI) fed induction motor drive is proposed. A Nine level inverter has 729 switching states and there are 217 effective vectors are possible. The proposed multi level inverter drive scheme is capable for enough degrees of freedom to control both electromagnetic torque and stator flux with very low ripple and high dynamic speed response. From the simulation results shows that feeding electrical drive with multi level inverter can greatly improves the drive performance. The performance of this control method has been demonstrated by simulations performed using a versatile simulation package, Matlab/Simulink.

INTRODUCTION converters belong to this family because the bus between two switches is clamped by a clamping diode. Furthermore, when Multilevel power conversion technology is a very rapid the number of voltage level is odd, the converters are called growing area of power electronics with good potential for Neutral Point Clamped (NPC) because the neutral point is further development. The most attractive application of this clamped, has found wide application in medium-voltage technology are in the medium to high voltage range (2-13kv), high-power applications [6].The main features of the MPC and include induction motor drives, power distribution,power converter include reduced dv/dt and THD in its AC output quality and power conditioning applications [1],[2],[3],[4] .In voltages in comparison to the conventional two level general multilevel power converters can be viewed as converters. The inverter scheme proposed in this paper voltage synthesizers, in which the high output voltage is produces 729 switching states and there are106 effective synthesized from many discrete small voltage levels. The space vectors are possible in this system. This results in a main advantages of this approach is,The voltage capacity of reduction of the switching ripple in the motor electromagnetic the existing devices can be increased many times without the torque waveform. complications of static and dynamic voltage sharing that In principle, DTC method is based on instantaneous space occurring series connected device. It is possible to obtain vector theory. By optimal selection of the space voltage refind voltage wave forms and reduced Total Harmonic vectors in each sampling period, DTC achieves effective Distortion (THD) in voltage with increased number of voltage control of the electromagnetic torque and the stator flux on levels.

It is possible to directly control the inverter states wave forms naturally limit the problems of large voltage through a switching table, in order to reduce the torque and transients that occur due to the reflections on cables, which flux errors within the desired bands limits [8].The present can damage the motor windings and cause other problems work is based on the study of the application of DTC to the [5].Multilevel inverters can produce an output voltage wave nine-level MPC VSI, and the advantages that can be obtained form having a large number of steps with low harmonic from using this topology when compared to the seven-level distortion.

2. DTC PRINCIPAL
Fig.1 shows a simple structure of the conventional DTC for Induction motor drive. In DTC the reference to be applied is directly calculated from the equation of the load, usually an Induction Motor (IM). In the following, a short description of DTC is presented, just to introduce to its extension to multilevel VSI. Considering Park transform of IM equations, it is possible to write in equation (1), where s is the stator flux, us, is and rs are the stator voltage, current and resistance respectively.

= u s rs i s

Ignoring the contribution of the current, which can be considered small in the respect of the stator voltage, the variation of stator flux can be ascribed all to the voltage applied. So, a proportional relationship between flux variation and voltage in a given cycle Tc can be found by discretizing (1) as shown fig.2.

Fig.1.The conventional DTC scheme of IM drive Analyzing the equation binding the stator and rotor fluxes ( s and r ) to the torque (Te), it is possible to find that an augmentation of the angle between fluxes ( sr ) means an augmentation of torque, as (3) shows, where M, , Ls and p are the mutual inductance, the leakage inductance and number of poles respectively.
The relationship between stator and rotor fluxes it can be assumed that a fast variation of the stator flux angular speed will reflect in an increment of the angle sr as Fig.2. Schematically shows. So, imposing a particular stator voltage, it is possible to control either the stator flux amplitude or the torque. The vector s Tc u s can be decomposed in the component parallel and perpendicular to the stator flux; the parallel component modifies the stator flux amplitude while the perpendicular component controls the torque The template is used to format your paper and style the text.

clamped. As Fig.3 shows, the 5-level leg is completely different: in MPCs the voltages are clamped using couples switch-diode instead of using a simple diode. Anyway, given a number of levels, the number of switches needed by MPC is the same needed by diode-clamped. The control of MPC leg is more complicated in the respect of other topologies. Even this kind of converter allows finding complementary couples of switches.The constrain so introduced is not physiologically necessary, but it is a simple way to simplify the control scheme and the switching table (Table I).

In Fig.4 (a) all the possible vectors generable by a 5-level converter are depicted as the vertices of the triangular grid. In particular the position of the stator flux is assumed to be given by the vector which is lying in the highlighted hexagon. The control strategy must choose among the vectors nearest to flux the one which cancels torque and flux errors. These vectors are drawn in red in Fig.4 (b) and they were given a name: V1 , V2 , V3 , V4 , V5 and . Accordingly to standard DTC technique, the vector minimizing torque contribution (i.e. V2 and V 5 ) are not used. The other four vectors can be used exploiting their properties above torque and flux. The vector the torque; V1 is used to increase the flux and to decrease applying V3 both flux and torque increase; V4 has opposite effects than V 1 and V6 is used when both flux and torque have to be decreased.
Furthermore, to avoid shortcut, T3 and T4 must be complementary controlled. The same must happens for T3 and T4. Table 1is a possible switching table for a 5-level MPC leg; there is an intra-phase redundancy only for the middle level. Anyway, it is better to have T4 turned on in order to limit the reverse voltage drop uponT2.Dependently on the switching table used, the maximum reverse voltage drop over the components changes and a preliminary analysis must be done to choose the suitable component. Moreover, the switches in the middle of the leg must carry twice the voltage of the others.

Since five kinds of switching states exist in each phase, a five-level inverter has 125 switching states and there are 61 effective vectors are possible. According to the magnitude of the voltage vectors, We divide them into nine (9) groups (V0),(V1,V2,V3,V4,V5,V6),(V44,V45,V46,V47,V48,V49),(V26,V27, V28,V29,V30,V31),(V75,V76,V77,V78,V79,V80,V81,V82,V83,V84,V85, V86),(V63,V64,V65,V66,V67,V68),(V118,V119,V120, V121,V122,V123),(V106,V107,V108,V109,V110,V111,V112,V113,V114,V1 15,V116,V117),(V100,V101,V102,V103,V104,V105)
a)Flux Comparator
Fig.5. Schematic diagram of a five-level MPC VSI The flux control is made by classical two-level hysteresis controller, so a high level performance torque control is required, and the torque is controlled by an hysteresis controller built with four lower bounds and four upper known bounds. A combination of the controller's outputs and the sector is then applied to a new optimal switching table (Table II) which will give the appropriate voltage vector to reduce the number of commutation and the level of steady state ripple. The hysteresis blocks are designed as it is shown in fig.6.
b)Torque Comparator Fig.6.Flux and Torque Hysteresis blocks Using the hysteresis comparator outputs flux CF and torque CT and the stator flux sector S, the proper output vector can be chosen to correct the error due to the relation in the switching table. The switching configuration is made step by step. The selection of a voltage vector at each cycle period Te is carried in order to maintain the flux and torque within the limits of two hysteresis bands. Several switching tables for three-level inverter are presented in [10]. Also, a new switching table for the inverter selector has been developed in Table II, to achieve an accurate control. In order to simplify, the mechanical rotor speed will be considered when assigning the voltage vectors needed at each one of those sectors. The speed of the stator flux linkage vector is given by the modulus of the applied voltage vector. Thus, the voltage vectors will be chosen according to the rotor speed [8]. Voltage vectors with low amplitude will be chosen for lower speeds.

Since nine kinds of switching states exist in each phase, a nine-level inverter has 729 switching states and there are 106 effective vectors. According to the magnitude of the voltage vectors, we divide them into thirteen (13) groups: [V0], [V1, V2, V3, V4, V5, V6],[V44, V45, V46, V47, V48, V49],[V123, V124, V125, V126, V127, V128], [V135, V137, V139,V141,V143, V145],[V180,V181,V182,V183,V184,V185,V186, V188,V190,V192,V194,V196],[V250,V251,V252,V253,V254,V255,V256,V V307,V308],[V395, 258,V260,V262,V264,V266],[V303,V304,V305,V306, V396, V397, V398, V399, V400],[V488, V489,V490,V491,V492,V493,V494,V495,V496,V498,V500,V502,V504,V50 6],[V588,V589,V590,V591,V592,V593,V594,V595,V596,V598,V600,V602, V604,V606],[V676,V677,V678,V679,V680,V681,V682,V683,V684,V685,V 686],[V686, V688, V690, V692, V694, V696].

Besides controlling the electromagnetic torque, DTC also controls the stator flux, whose locus is shown in Fig.10. The trajectory is nearly a circle and answers more quickly. As can be seen in Fig.11, the system behavior is good, even in extreme conditions like the reverse speed reference with nominal load torque applied. Reduction in ripple is observed in both electromagnetic torque and flux is due to the use of hysteresis controllers.

level inverter topologies. As the number of levels increased the %THD in the motor phase voltage decreased,. The number of level increased the torque ripple is reduced to minimum and the stator flux ripple is also minimized. For the proposed system has stator flux trajectory response is a circle and answer the response is faster than the 5-level and 7-level inverter fed DTC induction motor drive. The proposed inverter system does not experience neutral-point fluctuations and the DClink capacitor carry only the ripple current as isolated DC supplies are used for the DC links.
