Abstract

In this paper an Electric Drive system is presented. The system consists of a Five Level Neutral Point Clamped inverter and an electrical drive. The electrical drive is controlled by the Five Level NPC inverter using sensorless Field Oriented Control (F.O.C). The switching pattern applied to the inverter is Space Vector Pulse Width Modulation (SVPWM). The reference frame of the pulse algorithm applied is g-h coordinate system. The electric drive system is investigated in steady and transient state and simulation results are presented.
