Pulse Width Modulated (PWM) voltage source inverters (VSIs) are extensively used in industrial and domestic applications. The versatile natural sampled sinusoidal PWM (SPWM) method can perform output voltage control with acceptable indices. In these PWM-VSI, the coarse voltage regulation is done with change in modulation depth while fine voltage regulations have not been addressed by other auth...

Abstract – This paper comprehensively analyses the design of Space Vector PWM (SVPWM) using Simulink and presents the comparative analysis of improved quality three phase PWM-VSI for Adjustable Speed Drives (ASD’s). In SVPWM the complex reference voltage phasor is processed as a whole, therefore, interaction between three motor phases is exploited, and this strategy reduces the switching losses...

In this paper, the overmodulation region voltagegain characteristics and waveform quality of carrier-based pulsewidth-modulated (PWM) methods are investigated. Through detailed analytical study, voltage-gain characteristics are extracted independent of carrier frequency. The influence of blanking time and minimum pulsewidth (MPW) control on the inverter gain characteristics are studied and show...

In this paper, a generalized discontinuous pulsewidth modulation (GDPWM) method with superior high modulation operating range performance characteristics is developed. An algorithm which employs the conventional space-vector PWM method in the low modulation range, and the GDPWM method in the high modulation range, is established. As a result, the current waveform quality, switching losses, volt...

In this paper, computer simulation of a three-phase synchronous motor drive is described. This drive/system is supplied with a new type of pulse-width modulated voltage source inverter (PWM VSI) whose amplitude of the first harmonic, compared to a conventional sinusoidal PWM VSI, is increased by about 17% and whose amplitude of higher harmonics is also reduced inversely proportional to their or...

Adjustable speed drive system requires variable voltage and frequency supply which is invariably obtained from a three-phase voltage source inverter (VSI). A number of Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) schemes are used to obtain variable voltage and frequency supply from an inverter. The most widely used PWM schemes for a three-phase VSI are carrier-based sinusoidal PWM and space vector PWM (SVPWM)....

With advances in solid-state power electronic devices and microprocessors, various pulse-width-modulation (PWM) techniques have been developed for industrial applications. This paper presents the comparison of two different PWM techniques, the sinusoidal PWM (SPWM) technique and the space-vector PWM (SVPWM) technique applied to two level VSI for micro grid applications. These two methods are co...

The objective is to develop a fault diagnose scheme for MOSFET’s open switch faults for PWM voltage source inverter (PWM-VSI) motor drives.

So the measurement of line to line voltage is taken which gives the information about switching stat...

This paper presents a comparison between two Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) algorithms applied to a three-level Neutral Point Clamped (NPC) Voltage Source Inverter (VSI). The first algorithm applied is the triangular-sinusoidal strategy; the second is the Space Vector Pulse Width Modulation (SVPWM) strategy. In the first part, we present a topology of three-level NCP VSI. After that, we develop t...
