Abstract: This paper deals with the measurement and intermittent performance analysis of 12-switch NPC inverter driven PMSM drive in electric vehicle application. The objective of this paper is to demonstrate the multilevel inverter driven PMSM drive with carrier-based space vector modulation (CBSVM) strategy in MATLAB environment with reduction of total harmonic distortion and torque ripple. The method currently used for constant speed and torque is field oriented control (FOC) in permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM). The simulation results are presented based on inverter output and motor parameters such as stator and rotor current, speed and torque of PMSM. After validation of results, the proposed FOC-based 12-switch neutral point clamped inverter (TSNPCI) driven PMSM drive is found suitable for electric vehicles due to speed, torque response, better control performance, good dynamic response and lower costs. The hardware and simulation results are validated and matched for the effectiveness of the drive.

Keywords: carrier-based space vector modulation; CBSVM; field oriented control; FOC; permanent magnet synchronous motor; PMSM; TSNPCI; EV.
