Control Strategies for Induction Motors in Railway Traction Applications

Control Strategies for Induction Motors in Railway Traction Applications

This paper analyzes control strategies for induction motors in railway applications. The paper will focus on drives operating with a low switching to fundamental frequency ratio and in the overmodulation region or six-step operation, as these are the most challenging cases. Modulation methods, effic...
