Unlike existing pulse-width modulation (PWM) techniques, such as sinusoidal PWM and random PWM, the wavelet PWM (WPWM) technique based on a Harr wavelet function can achieve a high fundamental component for the output voltage, low total harmonic distortion, and simple digital implementation. However, the original WPWM method lacks output voltage control. Thus, the practical application of the WPWM technique is limited. This study proposes an improved WPWM technique that can regulate output voltage amplitude with the addition of a parameter. The relationship between the additional parameter and the output voltage amplitude is analyzed in detail. Experimental results verify that the improved WPWM exhibits output voltage control in addition to all the merits of the WPWM technique.

In the conventional PWM converter, high-frequency switching techniques was used for high-density of energy, but occurred a lot of problems such as switching losses, switching voltage/current stresses, EMI(Electromgnetic Interference) and so on. To overcome these problems, various soft switching techniques have been presented. However these techniques are focused on reducing switching losses and voltage/current stresses . The simulation and experimental results are shown that the active clamp ZVS flyback converter with the proposed RPWM(Random Pulse Width Modulation) technique reduces the conducted noise.

Recently, it is increased to apply sensorless drive for BLDC (Brushless DC) motor to household electrical appliances, especially in the refrigerators and air conditioners, to reduce the cost and the acoustic noise by the operation and to make their functions more comfortable for human beings. In this paper, low-cost sensorless drive for BLDC motor is implemented by random PWM (Pulse Width Modulation). The experimental results show that the electromagnetic noise was reduced and the sound quality was improved by BLDC motor sensorless random PWM Control.

In this paper, 2 phase modulated SRPP-PWM(Separately Random Pulse Position PWM) is proposed. This PWM technique is based on the 2 phase modulated SVPWM(Space Vector Pulse Width Modulation). In according to the theory of SVPWM, 2 phase modulated SVPWM uses two pulses, not three pulses as in 3 phase modulated SVPWM. In the proposed SRPP-PWM scheme, each of two phase pulses is located randomly in each switching interval. The experimental results show that the voltage and switching noise harmonics are spread to a wide band area. Also, the performance of the proposed 2 phase modulated SRPP-PWM and the conventional SVPWM are compared to each other In result, the speed response is nearly similar to each other from the viewpoint of the v/f constant control.

Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) is a system to system or environment to system phenomenon. The literature survey proved that the Randomized Pulse Width Modulation (RPWM) technique is a promising technique to reduce EMI. A new Constant Trailing Edge, Randomized Pulse Width Modulation (CTERPWM) technique is proposed in this paper. The effect of the proposed RPWM technique for mitigation of conducted-EMI on Cuk converter operating in Continuous Conduction Mode (CCM) is simulated and tested. In this paper, the analytical expressions for the Power Spectral Density (PSD) are derived for the proposed RPWM technique and are validated by experimental measurements. The effectiveness of the proposed RPWM technique on the mitigation of conducted-EMI is verified comparing simulation and experimental results and it is identified that both the results are almost similar with allowable experimental deviations. The comparative investigation proves that the proposed RPWM technique can mitigate and spread the dominant peaks of conducted-EMI over the complete spectrum for the Cuk converter. Based on the investigation the CTERPWM technique is recommended for adoption.

This paper describes a new method using random modulated strategies for switched reluctance machines. The proposed method is combined random turn-on, turn-off angle technique and random pulse width modulation technique. The purpose of this proposed method is to decrease harmonic spectrum, and thus reduce the emitted acoustical noise. A random generator is generated by linear congruential generator (LCG) using random pulse position (RPP) scheme. Simulation results show that the harmonic intensity of proposed method is better than that of conventional method.

The RPWM (Random· Pulse Width Modulation) is a switching technique to spread the voltage and current harmonics over a wide frequency area. By using randomly changing switching frequency of the inverter, the power spectrum of the electromagnetic acoustic noise can be spread to the wide-band area. The wide­band noise is much more comfortable and less annoying than the narrow-band one. So, the RPWM has been attracting interest as an excellent method for the reduction of acoustic noise on the inverter drive system. In this paper a new RPPWM (Random Position Space Vector PWM) is proposed and implemented. Each of three phase pulses is located randomly in each switching interval. Along with the randomization of PWM pulses, the space vector modulation is also executed in the C167 micro-controller. The experimental results show that the voltage and current harmonics are spread to a wide band area and that the audible switching noise is reduced by the proposed RPPWM method.

HEV를 구동시키는 인버터 시스템은 고정 주파수로 스위칭하는 PWM(Pulse Width Modulation)방식으로 구동이 된다. 고정주파수를 이용한 PWM은 전류제어의 주기가 일정하기 때문에 디지털 화가 쉬운 장점을 가지고 있다. 하지만 그로인한 특정 주파수 부분에 고조파가 생성이 되게 되는데 이 고조파로 인해 소음이 유발된다. 하지만 이 소음을 억제하기 위해서 랜덤PWM을 사용하게 되면 전류 제어가 고정주파수로 스위칭하는 PWM에 비해서 완벽하게 되기가 어렵다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 HEV의 소음을 저감시키면서 동시에 전류제어도 가능한 랜덤PWM기반의 전류제어 방법을 연구하였다.

A main research topic in PWM inverter drive system is to reduce the generated acoustic noise. One method to reduce the acoustic noise is to cause the switching pattern to be random. This RPWM(Random Pulse Width Modulation) technique for voltage controlled inverters is a kind of good solutions for reduction of acoustic noise and suppression of vibration. This paper describes a carrier frequency modulated real-time RPWM inverter. Changing the carrier frequency randomly, the power spectrum of tile acoustic noise was spread over the wide-band area. And experimental results showed that emitted noise is much more comportable and less annoying

Finally, the simulation and experimental results will be given to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed RPWM technique.
