Abstract

This paper presents design and implementation of voltage source Inverter type PWM for control a speed of Induction motor. This scheme leads to be able to adjust the speed of the motor by control the frequency and amplitude of the stator voltage, the ratio of stator voltage to frequency should be kept constant. The model of control system is implemented in Real time Xilinx FPGA XC3S 400E and PI controller is also introduced to control a speed to be constant when the load varies.
