TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present disclosure relates to the field of inverter, and more specifically relates to, a system for deriving inverter output phase voltage in a circuit Variable Frequency Drive (VFD) by using an inverter DC link and IGBT switching information.
BACKGROUND
[0002] Background description includes information that may be useful in understanding the present invention. It is not an admission that any of the information provided herein is prior art or relevant to the presently claimed invention, or that any publication specifically or implicitly referenced is prior art.
[0003] Power electronics is a technology that facilitates electrical energy conversion between source and load based on the combined functionality of energy systems, electronics and control. The use of power electronics has been widely seen in various applications, such as aerospace, military, automotive, computing etc., for proper and energy efficient operation.
[0004] In power electronics systems, the conversion process begins when the controller, which is a low-power digital or analog electronic circuit, operates the power converter/switches according to a modulation strategy.
[0005] Of all the ways solar electricity benefits the people on Earth, none makes as much difference in the daily lives as pumping water. By providing water for irrigation or potable water have obvious benefits for people in rural areas and especially for those in developing nations. The proper choice is determined by application specific factors like how much water is required and whether the water should be available at night or just during high sun hours.
[0006] For high amounts of water, a large AC pump is usually required. These pumps require well regulated 3 phase AC voltage and current. By using an AC variable speed controller called a Variable Frequency Drive (VFD) or Adjustable Speed Drive (ASD) the pump motor will have the proper voltage and current. The trick is to supply DC from the PV array directly into the DC bus inside the VFD. The normal AC input is not used. As the sun rises and PV voltage and current increase, some VFD products will accept the input and when the power is high enough, it will start the pump. The PV array must be large enough to provide enough power to start the pump with including the head of water. The size of the PV array required for this method can be very expensive.
[0007] In the conventional method or system, output voltage, DC link voltage and DC current measured by measurement sensor. However, in the prior-art, there is a requirement of separate phase voltage sensor used along with DC link current and voltage sensor due to which circuit becomes complex and bulky.
[0008] Whereas there is certainly nothing wrong with existing system or processor, nonetheless, there still exists a need to provide an efficient, effective, reliable, and improved system of output phase voltage derivation for solar Variable Frequency Drive (VFD) by using an inverter DC link and IGBT switching information. Further, there is a need of a system and device for phase voltage reconstruction from DC link voltage and IGBT switching information. Furthermore, there is a need of circuit or system which does not requires extra sensor in the inverter output required for calculation of the output voltage and hence within the same hardware the output voltage information is obtained.

[00060] For three phases inverter in motor control application sensing output voltage can be a challenge considering the PWM output i.e. pulses of voltages with high switching frequency as shown in FIG .2. Sensing the output voltage in the inverter can be required to protect the inverter as well as motor in cased of over load, output voltage unbalance due to motor abnormal behavior. Detecting this condition will facilitate the protection of motor as well as inverter.

This information also can be useful for calculating motor power, active power etc.
[00068] In an embodiment, for three phases inverter in motor control application sensing output voltage can be a challenge considering the PWM output i.e. pulses of voltages with high switching frequency as shown in FIG .2. Sensing the output voltage in the inverter can be required to protect the inverter as well as motor in cased of over load, output voltage unbalance due to motor abnormal behavior. Detecting this condition will facilitate the protection of motor as well as inverter.
[00069] Inverter output voltage is obtained from switching of the DC link voltage of the inverter. By sensing the switch condition which is ON during a particular period the output voltage information for that particular time instant can be obtained and integrating this process for entire cycle output voltage of the inverter can be obtained.
[00070] The three phase output voltage of the inverter would be 120° apart in phases and this is provided by inverter switching for three phase motor control to maintain the phase difference. Thus switch condition along with the DC link voltage Vdc information will be helpful for providing the output phase voltage reconstruction or information. N is the DC link mid-point and VAN, VBN, VCN are the pole voltage. n is the floating neutral point of the motor and Van,VBn,VCn are the phase voltage of the inverter. For balanced three phase system as in FIG. 2.
VAn+VBn+VCn = 0 -1)
VAn = VAN – VnN -2)
VBn = VBN – VnN -3)
VCn = VCN – VnN -4)
From above equations:
VAN+VBN+VCN – 3VnN =0; and hence
Using above equation in 2, 3, and 4 following can be analyzed:
For three phase inverter phase voltage can be calculated as:
-5)
-6)
-7)
[00071] VAN, VBN, VCN considered as when e.g. For VAN upper switch S1 as shown in FIG. 3 is ON i.e. VAN = S11*VDC where VDC is the DC link voltage and S11 is the Top phase A switch of the inverter module. Similarly for other pole voltages values can be derived.
[00072] The DC link voltage along with the sinusoidal switching signals are provided for filtering and signal conditioning and then phase voltage are obtained with performing the calculations with above equations. The calculated phase voltage is instantaneous and to obtain its RMS and average value i.e. VPHASEA, B, C are given input to the RMS Block.
[00073] From above analysis the line voltages i.e. VAB, VBC. VCA can be derived from phase voltage values. Entire 112 blocks i.e. FIG.4 has been implemented within the DSP (digital signal processor) the output phase voltage provides user with the information of the motor voltage. This information also can be useful for calculating motor power, active power etc.

ADVANTAGES OF THE INVENTION
[00088] The present disclosure provides a system of output phase voltage derivation for solar Variable Frequency Drive (VFD) by using an inverter DC link and IGBT switching information.
[00089] The present disclosure provides a system and device for phase voltage reconstruction from DC link voltage and IGBT switching information.
[00090] The present disclosure provides a circuit or system which does not requires extra sensor in the inverter output required for calculation of the output voltage and hence within the same hardware the output voltage information is obtained.
