Introduction
Electric Locomotives were earlier driven by DC motors and DC transmission lines, as DC commutators have problems both in starting and at low velocities, the use of 3-phase induction motor became popular.
As high voltage DC transmission is not possible so AC transmission came into picture. For variable AC voltage inverters are used which require a constant DC supply which is obtained by employing a front end rectifier.

ma = Vm/Vtri
mf = fs/fm
mf : Frequency modulation ratio VAof : Amplitude of fundamental component of output voltage
mf should be an odd number to eliminate all the even harmonics in output voltage
Vm > Vtri TA+ is on, Vao = 0.5Vd Vm < Vtri TA- is on, Vao = -0.5Vd VAof = ma*Vd/2
Vabf = ma*Vd

The gate signals are obtained by comparing 3 sinusoidal waveforms (in case
of sinusoidal PWM) displaced by 120 degree with the triangular wave.
PWM Rectifier
Vdc = Vs(rms)*sqrt(2)/ma
Vcos(delta) = E
Tan(delta) = Ig*w*L/E
Vsin(delta) = Ig*w*L ma = V/Vdc Ihn = Vhn/(n*w*L)
It can be interpreted from the above calculations and simulation results that no inductance value satisfies the power flow equation as well as the harmonic flow equation.

When mechanical torque applied to the motor is changed skips from one graph to another which implies changing of supply frequency, so the supply frequency has to be modified accordingly.

Rectifier Control
Current Control
Hysteresis Control
The ac current is compared to a reference current and it is restricted to +/- 10% of the reference current at any point of time.
Here I-Iref 2A as Iref = 20sin(wt) Iac > Iref + 10%* Iref Iac < Iref - 10%* Iref TA- and TB+ are switched on to decrease the current TA+ and TB- are switched on to increase the current

Conclusion
Through our study and the simulation results obtained, it can be concluded that drive needs two separate controlling systems-
- controlling the speed of the motor and the other for maintaining constant DC link voltage.
- controlling the AC current. The rectifier controller consists of two parts: hysteresis current controller tracking voltage controller
