Since last decades, the pulse width modulation (PWM) techniques have been an intensive research subject. Also, different kinds of methodologies have been presented on inverter switching losses, inverter output current/ voltage total harmonic distortion (THD), inverter maximum output of DC bus voltage. The Sinusoidal PWM is generally used to control the inverter output voltage and it helps to maintains drive performance. The recent years have seen digital modulation mechanisms based on theory of space vector i.e. Space vector PWM (SVPWM). The SVPWM mechanism offers the enhanced amplitude modulation indexes (MI) than sinusoidal PWM along with the reduction in the harmonics of inverter output voltage and reduced communication losses. Currently, the digital control mechanisms have got more attention than the analog counterparts, as the performance and reliability of microprocessors has increased. Most of the SVPWM mechanisms are performed by using the analog or digital circuits like microcontrollers and DSPs. From the recent study, analysis gives that use of Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGA) can offer more efficient and faster solutions. This paper discusses the numerous existing research aspects of FPGA realization for voltage source inverter (VSI) along with the future line of research.

The model of a three-phase voltage source inverter is examined based on space vector theory. SVPWM offers an improved outcome with the inverter as compared to the conservative SPWM technique for the inverter. There is a 15.5% upsurge in the line voltage of the inverter. SVPWM better exploits the available DC-link power with the SVPWM inverter. It has been revealed that the SVPWM method utilizes DC bus voltage extra competently and produces a smaller amount of harmonic distortion and easier digital realization in a three-phase voltage-source inverter. For converter‘s gating signals generation, the space-vector pulse width modulation (SVPWM) strategy lessens the switching losses by restricting the switching to two-thirds of the pulse duty cycle. A hypothetical study regarding the use of the SVPWM the three-level voltage inverter and simulation results are offered to prove the usefulness of the SVPWM in the involvement in the switching power losses lessening, output voltages with fewer harmonics. Nevertheless, despite all the above-cited benefits that SVPWM enjoys over SPWM, the SVPWM technique used in three-level inverters is more difficult on account of a large number of inverter switching states. The attained simulation outcomes were satisfactory. As prospects, future experimental works will authenticate the simulation results. A software simulation model is developed in Matlab/Simulink.

The digital control of three-level voltage source inverter fed high power high performance ac drives has recently become a popular in industrial applications. In order to control such drives, the pulse width modulation algorithm needs to be implemented in the controller. In this paper, synchronized symmetrical bus-clamping pulse width modulation strategies are presented. These strategies have some practical advantages such as reduced average switching frequency, easy digital implementation, reduced switching losses and improved output voltage quality compared to conventional space vector pulse width modulation strategies. The operation of three level inverter in linear region is extended to overmodulation region. The performance is analyzed in terms THD and fundamental output voltage waveforms and is compared with conventional space vector PWM strategies and found that switching losses can be minimized using bus-clamping strategy compared to conventional space vector strategy. The proposed method is implemented using Motorola Power PC 8240 processor and verified on a constant v/f induction motor drive fed from IGBT based inverter.

Multiphase systems provides benefits compared to three-phase systems, such as improved torque per ampere, high power density, better fault tolerance, lower current per phase (due to power-splitting among a higher number of phases), and lower torque ripple, among others. Depending on the application, the system must meet determined requirements, such as the presence of harmonic content, power losses, and common-mode voltage (CMV) generation. This paper presents a comparative analysis of space vector modulation (SVM) techniques applied to a five-phase voltage source inverter with SiC switches to provide an overview of their performance. The performance of five-phase 2L SVPWM (space vector pulse width modulation), 2L+2M SVPWM, 4L SVPWM techniques, and their discontinuous versions, are analyzed by focusing on harmonic content, power losses, and CMV generation using SiC semiconductor devices. Matlab/Simulink and PLECS simulations are performed to achieve the above mentioned goal. The use of different techniques allows (1) reducing the harmonic distortion when 2L+2M SVPWM and 4L SVPWM are applied, and (2) the switching sequence of the modulation techniques can influence the switching losses. Therefore, the use of SiC switches reduces the switching losses. (3) However, CMV dv/dt increases. Therefore, it is possible to minimize the effects of the CMV dv/dt and amplitude by choosing the adequate technique.

Estos requisitos se cumplen con un inversor de fuente de voltaje (VSI). Se puede lograr un voltaje de salida variable variando la tensión de CC de entrada y manteniendo constante la ganancia del inversor. Por otro lado, si la tensión de entrada CC es fija y no es controlable, se puede lograr una tensión de salida variable variando la ganancia del inversor, lo que normalmente se logra mediante el control de modulación por ancho de pulso dentro del inversor. Hay varias técnicas de modulación de ancho de pulso, pero la técnica de vector espacial es una buena opción entre todas las técnicas para controlar el inversor de fuente de voltaje. La modulación por ancho de pulso de vector espacial (SVPWM) es un método avanzado y muy popular con varias ventajas tales como la utilización efectiva del bus de CC, menos generación de armónicos en voltaje de salida, menos pérdidas de conmutación, amplio rango de modulación lineal, etc. En este documento, se ha tomado un inversor de fuente de voltaje constante CC y se ha implementado la SVPWM para VSI de dos niveles utilizando MATLAB / SIMULINK. Descriptores: Modulación de ancho de pulso (PWM), modulación de ancho de pulso de vector espacial (SVPWM), distorsión armónica total (THD), inversor de fuente de voltaje (VSI). Abstract Alternating Current (AC) loads require variable voltage and variable frequency. These requirements are met by a voltage supply inverter (VSI). A variable output voltage can be achieved by varying the input DC voltage and keeping the inverter gain constant. On the other hand, if the DC input voltage is fixed and not controllable, a variable output voltage can be achieved by varying the gain of the inverter, which is normally achieved by controlling the pulse width modulation within the inverter. There are several pulse width modulation techniques, but the spatial vector technique is a good choice among all the techniques for controlling the voltage source inverter. Spatial vector pulse width modulation (SVPWM) is an advanced and very popular method with several advantages such as effective utilization of CC bus, less harmonic generation in output voltage, less switching losses, wide range of linear modulation, etc. In this document, a CC constant voltage source inverter has been taken and SVPWM has been implemented for two-level VSI using MATLAB / SIMULINK. Keywords: Pulse Width Modulation (PWM), Space Vector Pulse Width Modulation (SVPWM), Total Harmonic Distortion (THD), Voltage Source Inverter (VSI).

This paper deals with a novel natural sampled pulse width modulation (PWM) switching strategy for voltage source inverter through carrier modification. The proposed inverted sine carrier PWM (ISCPWM) method, which uses the conventional sinusoidal reference signal and an inverted sine carrier, has a better spectral quality and a higher fundamental component compared to the conventional sinusoidal PWM (SPWM) without any pulse dropping. The ISCPWM strategy enhances the fundamental output voltage particularly at lower modulation index ranges while keeping the total harmonic distortion (THD) lower without involving changes in device switching losses. The presented mathematical preliminaries for both SPWM and ISCPWM give a conceptual understanding and a comparison of the strategies. The detailed comparison of the harmonic content and fundamental component of the ISCPWM output for different values of modulation index with the results obtained for the SPWM is also presented. Finally, the proposed modulator has been implemented in field programmable gate array (FPGA- Xilinx Spartan 3) and tested with the proto-type inverter.
