Purpose The specific modulation methods are used to control different kind of single-phase, as well as three-phase, inverters to ensure flexibility and high quality of the output waveform. This paper aims to present a combination of two classical methods, namely, pulse width modulation method and direct digital synthesis modulation method. Design/methodology/approach The total harmonic distortion of output waveforms of single-phase inverter based on elaborated modulation method has been determined by means of fast Fourier transform analysis. Tests have been carried out by using standard low-frequency application and also a wireless resonant energy link system. Findings Applying appropriate timer parameters of microcontroller enables to obtain a waveform for given output parameters (amplitude, frequency, frequency modulation index, etc.). The only limitation is the computing power of a microcontroller. Originality/value The elaborated method can be successfully used in both low- and high-frequency application ensuring high level of output waveform quality. Additional signal generators and the control of amplitude modulation ratio are no longer indispensable, what simplify immensely a control system.

This paper presents design and practical implementation of single-phase inverter based on selective harmonic elimination-pulse width modulation (SHE-PWM) technique. Microcontroller mega type Arduino used as a controller for producing the gate pulses. The optimized switching angles determination results in wide range of output voltage. Depending on number of switching angles, the lower order harmonics (LOHs) can be eliminated to improve the output voltage waveform. A comparison study using MATLAB/Simulink for sinusoidal-PWM and SHE-PWM techniques, which shows for the same LOH in the output voltage waveform, the SHE-PWM has less number of pulses per half cycle than sinusoidal-PWM strategy. The reduction in number of pulses results less switching losses. The simulation done using ten switching angles to drive R-L load. A prototype of SHE-PWM inverter with R-L load is used to validate the simulation results.

This paper presents direct control of active and reactive power using grid voltage modulation for single-phase grid-connected photovoltaic inverter. A design of type-1 servo system based on pole-placement method is proposed to control the power flow using a simplified multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) model of the system. Phase-locked loop (PLL) with a quarter cycle time delay is used to estimate the grid phase angle for the purpose of performing the stationary and synchronous reference frame transformation. Unipolar pulse width modulation (PWM) technique is used to control a single-phase inverter with 2.7 KVA capacity connected to the photovoltaic system. The proposed controller can simply be tuned using minimum number of controller gains to achieve the transient and steady-state performance requirements. The proposed system, was capable of operating for a wide range of solar irradiance levels with a power factor in the range of 0.95 (leading/lagging), for the reactive power compensation purposes.

The single phase inverter performance through the unipolar and bipolar strategies has been previously analyzed based on the constant switching frequency pulse width modulation (CSFPWM). However, the confined band variable switching frequency PWM (CB-VSFPWM) is currently proposed as a new variable switching frequency PWM technique through unipolar strategy to facilitate the design of high order filter, to reduce the switching losses, and to reduce the current total harmonics distortion (THD) as well. To evaluate the performance of a single phase inverter based on the CBVSFPWM through bipolar strategy, this paper presents a comparative study of the CB-VSFPWM based inverter performance using the unipolar PWM and the bipolar PWM strategies. The study adopts MATLAB/Simulink to simulate the inverter and to analyze the simulation results in terms of harmonics spectrum, total harmonic distortion (THD), and fundamental components. The analysis of the study results gives an indication about the appropriate type of CB-VSFPWM strategy (unipolar PWM or bipolar PWM) to guarantee the desired performance of the connected inverter in terms of the electrical grid standards like THD, and harmonics spectrum of the inverter current.

Abstract This paper deals with implementation of a single-phase three level converter system under low voltage condition. The frequency of the switches is made constant and involves change in ${t_{on}}$ and ${t_{off}}$ duration. For this condition the pulse width modulation control scheme for a single phase three level rectifier is developed to improve the power quality. The hysteresis current control technique is adopted to bring forth three-level PWM on the dc side of the bridge rectifier and to achieve high power factor and low harmonic distortion. Based on the proposed control scheme, the line current is driven to follow the sinusoidal current command which is in phase with the supply voltage. By using three-level voltage pattern the blocking voltage of each power device is clamped to half of the dc link voltage. The simulation and experimental results of 20W converter under low input voltage condition are shown to verify the circuit performance. Open loop simulation and hardware tests are implemented by applying a low voltage of 15 V(rms) on the input side.

This paper presents a novel digital control scheme for the regulation of single-phase voltage source pulse width modulation (PWM) inverters used in AC power sources. The proposed scheme adopts two deadbeat controllers to regulate the inner current loop and the outer voltage loop of the PWM inverter. For the overhead of digital processing, the change of duty of PWM lags one carrier period behind the sampling signal, which is modeled as a first-order lag unit in a discrete domain. Based on this precise modeling, the deadbeat controllers make the inverter get a fast dynamic response, so that the inverter’s output voltage is obtained with a very low total harmonic distortion (THD), even when the load is fluctuating. The parameter sensitivity of the deadbeat control was analyzed, which shows that the proposed deadbeat control system can operate stably when the LC filter’s parameters vary within the range allowed. The experimental results of a 2kW inverter prototype show that the THD of the output voltage is less than 3% under resistive and rectifier loads, which verifies the feasibility of the proposed scheme. An additional advantage of the proposed scheme is that the parameter design of the controller can be fully programmed without the experience of a designer.
