Conventional space vector pulse width modulation based asymmetrical dual inverter configuration produces high common mode voltage (CMV) variations. This CMV causes the flow of common mode current, which adversely affects the motor bearings and electromagnetic interference of nearby electronic systems. In this study, a simple and generalized carrier based pulse width modulation (PWM) technique is proposed for dual inverter configuration. This simple approach generates various continuous and discontinuous modulating signals based PWM algorithms. With the application of the discontinuous modulating signal based PWM algorithm to the asymmetrical dual inverter configuration, the CMV can be reduced with a slightly improved quality of output voltage. The performance of the continuous and discontinuous modulating signals based PWM algorithms is explored through both theoretical and experimental studies. Results show that the discontinuous modulating signal based PWM algorithm efficiently reduces the CMV and switching losses.

This paper deals with an algorithm for controlling ac output voltage of Z-source inverter using Modified SVPWM (abbreviated as MSVPWM). Unlike the conventional space vector pulse width modulation, MSVPWM has one extra shoot-through zero time $T_{sh}$. During shoot-through zero time, both switches in a leg are conducted simultaneously in order to boost inverter output voltage to any desirable value regardless the line voltage. The algorithm to control linearly the capacitor voltage is suggested to improve the performance of Z-source inverter system. The performance of Z-source inverter using above algorithms is demonstrated in simulation results using PSIM. Index terms-Z-source inverter (ZSI), shoot-through time, three-phase carrier-based PWM, space vector PWM (SVPWM), modified space vector PWM (MSVPWM).

This paper presents a simple PWM method to control three phase four leg multilevel inverters, which have been developed for supplying electrical power to three phase unbalanced load and for related power active filters. The method is derived from a general correlation between space vector PWM (SVPWM) method and carrier based PWM (CPWM) method. As an advantage, the simplicity and flexibility of the proposed CPWM control can be obtained and the complicated calculations of the 3-D SVPWM concepts can be avoided. The method has been mathematical formulated and demonstrated by simulation results.

In this paper, carrier-based pulse width modulation (CBPWM), space vector PWM (SVPWM) and reduced switching losses PWM (RSLPWM) for the three-level neutral point clamped (NPC) inverter are introduced. In the case of the neutral point (NP) potential (NPP) offset, an asymmetric disposition PWM (ASPDPWM) strategy is proposed, which can output PWM sequences correctly and suppress the lower order harmonics of the inverter effectively. An NPP balance strategy based on carrier based PWM (CBPWM) is analyzed. A hybrid modulation strategy combining RSLPWM and the NPP balance based on CBPWM is proposed, and hysteresis control is adopted to switch between the two modulation strategies. An experimental prototype of the three-level NPC inverter is built. The effectiveness of the hybrid modulation is verified with a resistance-inductance load and a permanent magnetic synchronous motor (PMSM) load, respectively. The experimental results show that reduced switching losses and an acceptable NPP can be effectively achieved in the hybrid modulation strategy.

This paper presents a carrier-based pulse-width modulation(PWM) method for reducing the common-mode voltage of a three-level four-leg converter. The idea of the proposed PWM method is intuitive and easy to be implemented in digital signal processor-based converter control systems. On the basis of the analysis of space-vector PWM(SVPWM) and sinusoidal PWM(SPWM) switching patterns, the fourth leg pole voltage of the three-phase converter called "f leg pole voltage" is manipulated to reduce the common-mode voltage. To synthesize f leg pole voltage for the suppression of the common-mode voltage, positive and negative pole voltage references of f leg are calculated. An offset voltage is also deduced to prevent the distortion of a, b, and c phase voltages. The feasibility of the proposed PWM method is verified by simulation and experimental results. The common-mode voltage of the proposed PWM method in peak-to-peak value is 33% in comparison with that of the conventional SVPWM method. The transition number of the common-mode voltage is also reduced to 25%.

교류전동기의 가변속 운전에 사용되는 삼상 인버터에는 두개 또는 세개의 전류센서가 장착되며 이를 이용하여 삼상 교류전류를 측정한다. 전류센서의 갯수를 줄이기 위하여 개발된 것이 직류링크에 한개의 전류센서로 직류전류를 측정하고 측정된 전류 값과 스위칭 상태로부터 삼상 교류전류를 추정하는 방법이다. 전류를 정확히 측정하려면 스위칭 상태가 최소 측정시간 이상 유지되어야 하며, 이를 위한 펄스폭 조정과 이에 따른 전압 왜곡의 보상 방법이 연구되어 왔다. 그러나 기존에 발표된 방식들은 공간벡터 전압변조법에는 적합하지만 산업체에서 널리 쓰이는 펄스폭 변조 방식인 삼각파 비교법에 적용하기에는 어려운 면이 많다. 본 연구에서는 삼각파 비교법에 적합한 전류 측정 방식과 전압왜곡 보상 방식을 제안하고 이의 타당성을 실험을 통하여 검증하였다.

본 논문에서는 2상 유도전동기의 가변속장치인 2-레그 및 4-레그 2상 인버터의 PWM 방식을 제안하였다. 기존의 SVPWM방식을 2-레그 인버터에 적용하기가 복잡하나, 본 논문에서는 캐리어 삼각파 PWM방식으로 단순화시켰다. 4-레그 인버터의 경우 전압벡터가 16개가 되어 전형적인 공간전압벡터이론을 적용하기가 복잡하다. 따라서, 본 논문에서는 이를 대신하여 2-레그 인버터형 삼각파 PWM방식을 기본으로 하여 4-레그 인버터에 적용할 수 있는 삼각파 PWM파형으로 단순화하였다. 제안된 2상 PWM방식에 대한 타당성을 확인하기 위해 모의 실험과 실험이 실행되었다.

This paper presents a hybrid pulse width modulation (PWM) method under low switching frequency conditions based on space vector PWM (SVPWM) and selective harmonic eliminated PWM (SHEPWM), which use asynchronous carrier modulation SVPWM at low frequency, and SHEPWM at high frequency, a square wave after rated conditions. A transitive strategy is proposed to realize a smooth transition of individual modes including SVPWM, SHEPWM and square waves. Experimental results confirm this hybrid modulation method and their transition are reasonable and proper.

This paper proposes a compensation method to improve the distorted space vectors when a 3-level Neutral Point Clamped (NPC) inverter has an unbalanced neutral point voltage. Since both the neutral point voltage of the DC link and the space vector of a 3-level NPC inverter are closely related depending on the output load connecting state, a distorted space vector can occur when the neutral point voltage of a 3-level NPC inverter is unbalanced. The proposed method can improve the distorted space vectors by adjusting the injection time of the small and medium vectors and by modulating the amplitude of the carrier waveforms. In this paper, the proposed method is verified by both simulation and experimental results based on a 3-level NPC inverter.

본 논문에서는 캐리어(Carrier)를 이용한 매트릭스 컨버터(Matrix Converter)의 전압 변조 방법을 제안한다. 출력상전압에 적절한 옵셋(Offset) 전압을 더하고, 캐리어 파형의 기울기를 적절히 제어함으로써 입력 전류를 역율 1의 정현파로 제어하면서 동시에 출력 전압의 합성이 가능하다. 이 방법은 기존의 매트릭스 컨버터 전압 변조 방법인 SVPWM과 동일한 스위칭 패턴을 나타내지만, 그 구현은 훨씬 간단한다. 또한 기존의 전압형 인버터(Voltage Source Inverter, VSI)에서 발전된 2상/3상 변조, 과변조(Over Modulation) 등의 개념을 유사하게 적용할 수 있어 그 활용도가 매우 논다. Matlab/Simulink를 이용한 시뮬레이션 결과와 실험을 통해 제안된 방법의 타당성을 검증하였다.
