Memory, speed, reliability, and efficiency are the main characteristics of concern in new contemporary control techniques of electric power converters. Space vector pulse width modulation (SVPWM) is a widespread digital compute-intensive control technique used in the control of power converters. This study aims to overcome the large number of calculations needed by the SVPWM algorithm, which limits its implementation in many advanced industrial applications. This paper presents a low-cost software implemented simplified SVPWM technique. The proposed strategy generates the inverter switching times in a straightforward manner with no need for complicated and time-consuming sector identification and look-up switching tables. A simulation study has been done using MATLAB/SIMULINK environment for the three-phase voltage source converter (VSC). The results in terms of total harmonic distortion (THD) in the converter line voltage are compared for the proposed technique, conventional SVPWM, and space pulse width modulation (SPWM). The execution time is reduced considerably with a slight increase in the value of THD and about 14.4 percent DC-link voltage utilization over the SPWM.

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.

The realization of power electronic applications on hardware is a challenging task. The digital control circuit strategies are used to overcome the analog control strategies by providing great flexibility with simple equipment and higher switching frequencies. In this manuscript, an area optimized, modified digital space vector (DSV) pulse width modulation is designed and realized on low-cost FPGA. The modified digital space vector pulse width modulation (DSVPWM) uses a phase-locked loop (PLL) to generate clocks using the digital clock manager (DCM). These DCM clocks are used in the DSVPWM module to synchronize the other sub-modules. The voltage generation unit generates the three-phase (3-Ф) voltages and is used in the alpha-beta generation and sector determination unit. The reference active vectors are made by the reference generation unit and used in switching time calculation. The PWM pulses are generated using switching time generation, and lastly, the dead time occurrence unit generates the final SVPWM gate pulses. The modified DSVPWM is synthesized and implemented on Spartan-3E FPGA. The modified DSVPWM utilizes 17% slices, works at 102.45 MHz, and consumes 0.070 W total power. The simulation results and the resource utilization of modified DSVPWM are represented in detail. The modified DSVPWM is compared with existing PWM approaches on different Spartan-series FPGAs with better chip area improvement

Sinusoidal Pulse Width Modulation

This paper describes the design of a 400 V, three-phase voltage source inverter system using Sinusoidal Pulse Width Modulation (SPWM) control technique. Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) is an internal control technique for inverters. The Sinusoidal Pulse Width Modulation (SPWM) technique is the type of PWM used in this work. The aim is to reduce the harmonic produced by the inverter. Current standards require that total harmonic distortion (THD) be minimal. A three-phase SPWM signal is implemented in order to create an output voltage which is closer to a true sine wave and reduce harmonics. The development and model were implemented using MATLAB Simulink soft-ware and hardware parameters. The addition of a low pass filter circuit aids the achievement of smoother sine waveforms and a reduced THD value of 0.17%. The proposed concept has been validated through experimentally on a laboratory prototype by using DSP TMS320F28335 real-time digital control. The experimental outcomes emphasize the authenticity of the suggested technique in reducing harmonics, which can be promising to power quality improvement.

Operation Condition

Multi-level voltage source converter is integrated in various fields in renewable energy power generation technologies such as wind and solar sources for applications that need higher voltage and higher power. In wind power generation market, doubly fed induction generator (DFIG) based on wind power generation is now the leading technology as they are economically feasible, they do offer a variable speed and efficient substitute to the fossil fuel. This paper proposes a DFIG based on a back to back diode clamped multilevel converter systems (DCMLI) fired comparatively by sinusoidal pulse width modulation (SPWM) and third harmonic injection pulse width modulation (THIPWM) techniques. By using these technologies, the DFIG performance is compared for different wind speeds under normal operation condition. The proposed approach shows that the DCMLI systems generate a near sinusoidal voltage with lower values in total harmonic distortion (THD) thus, upgrading the power quality that is produced by DFIG. Lastly, the variation of frequency of induced rotor voltage and the active power flow due to the wind speed changes when the rotor speed changes from super synchronous to sub synchronous speeds is investigated.

To generate the required reference vector than triangle comparison based PWM techniques for three-level inverters the space vector based PWM (SVPWM) strategies contain broader choice of switching sequences. This space vector based PWM technique involves in various steps. These steps are computationally exhaustive. The SVPWM has been used in three phase inverter control system. The center-aligned PWM is the most effective way for the Microprocessor Control Unit implementation of the SVPWM, because it can easily generate the center aligned PWM of the multilevel inverters for generation of the signal of space vector pulse width modulation (SVPWM), this concept brings out the method. The inverter leg switching times are generated by this algorithm and middle vector switching times are centered in a sampled interval. The proposed algorithm does not require any sector identification. And it reduces the computational time as a result. The adjacent voltage space vectors are forming the small triangles it is called sectors. Multilevel converters can meet the increasing demand of power ratings and power quality associated with reduced harmonic distortion and lower electromagnetic interference. Furthermore to optimize switching waveforms, space vector pulse-width modulation algorithms offer great flexibility among them. Finally the results are verified through MATLAB/SIMULINK
