A Space Vector based Pulse Width Modulation control technique for the three-phase PWM converter is proposed in this paper. The proposed control scheme is based on a synchronous reference frame model. High performance and efficiency is obtained with regards to the DC bus voltage and the power factor considerations of the PWM rectifier thus leading to low losses. MATLAB/SIMULINK are used as a pla...

In this paper, we propose a new modulation scheme called multi-coded variable pulse position modulation (MC-VPPM) for visible light communication systems. Two groups of signals (Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) and Pulse Position Modulation (PPM) groups) are multi-coded by orthogonal codes for transmitting data simultaneously. Then, each multi-level value of the multi-coded signal is converted to p...

this paper presents a novel control method to improve the efficiency of low-voltage dc-dc converters at light loads. pulse width modulation (pwm) converters have poor efficiencies at light loads, while pulse frequency modulation (pfm) control is more efficient for the same cases. switching losses constitute a major portion of the total power loss at light loads. to decrease the switching losses...

This paper presents the comparison of Unipolar Inverted Sine Carrier Pulse Width Modulation (UISCPWM) techniques for the Cascaded Multi Level Inverter (CMLI). Due to switch combination redundancies, there are certain degrees of freedom to generate the multilevel AC output voltage. This paper presents the use of Control Freedom Degree (CFD) combination. The effectiveness of the pulse width modul...

This paper presents a review of conventional and novel carrier-based PWM methods that are used for control of multilevel inverters. Among the discussed methods are Phase disposition (PD) PWM, Opposite Phase disposition (POD) PWM, Alternative Phase disposition (APOD) PWM, Phase Shifted PWM and Asymmetrical PWM. The paper shows the simulation results and comparison of these methods. Key-Words: Re...

Soft Switcing techniques have recently been applied in the design of dc-ac converters, in order to achive better performance, higher efficiency, and power density. One of the soft switching techniques uesd in inverters is resonant dc links. These topologies have some disadvantages such as irregular current peaks, large voltage peaks, uncotrollble pulse width, etc. Another soft switching method ...

Analysis and practical implementation of the regular symmetric sampled three-phase PWM inverter waveform has been presented in this paper. It is digitally implemented on a Xilinx field programmable gate array FPGA, and the essential considerations involved in the feasibility of using a Xilinx XC4008E software-based to generate PWM has been discussed. All the necessary Xilinx hardware/software t...

Pulse-width modulation (PWM) is the basis for control in power electronics. The theoretically zero rise and fall time of an ideal PWM waveform represents a preferred way of driving modern semiconductor power devices. With the exception of some resonant converters, the vast majority of power electronic circuits are controlled by PWM signals of various forms. The rapid rising and falling edges en...

The paper presents a drive system consists of single-phase boost rectifier, space vector pulse width modulation (SVPWM) inverter, and three-phase induction motor. The single-phase boost rectifier is used to obtain near unity power factor and to reduce the harmonic distortion in the main supply. The SVPWM inverter is used to offer 15% increase in the output voltage and low output harmonic distor...
