This paper proposes a compensation PWM technique for the extension of output voltage ranges in three-phase VSI applications using three shunt resistors. The proposed technique aims to solve the dead zone, which occurs in high modulation indexes. In the dead zone, two phase currents cannot be sampled correctly, so that the three-phase VSI cannot be operated up to the maximum output voltage. The ...

This paper presents a simple modified unipolar carrier-based pulsewidth modulation (CBPWM) strategy for the three-level neutral-point-clamped (NPC) voltage source inverter (VSI). Analytical expressions for the relationship between modulation reference signals and output voltages are derived. The proposed modulation technique for the three-level NPC VSI includes the maximum and minimum of the th...

This paper develops discontinuous space vector PWM (DPWM) techniques for a five-phase two-level voltage source inverter (VSI). Space vector model of a five-phase VSI shows that there exist 32 space vectors with three different lengths forming three concentric decagons. Application of outer most and middle set of space vectors to implement Space vector PWM yield nearly sinusoidal output. Thus th...

The PWM principle is used to control the output voltage of the three-phase inverters. There are many possible PWM techniques proposed in literature. Among these the space-vector PWM (SVM) method is an advanced PWM method and is possibly the best among all the PWM techniques for variable-frequency drive applications. The classical SVPWM which is used in the direct torque control of induction mot...

Multiphase variable speed drives are nowadays regarded as serious contenders for various applications, due to the certain advantages that they possess when compared to threephase drives. On the other hand, the multilevel (predominantly three-level) voltage source inverter (VSI) has become an industrially accepted technology for medium-voltage three-phase drives. The logical next step is to inte...

Due to high dynamic response, current-controlled pulse width modulated (PWM) voltage source inverters (VSI) are widely used in high performance AC drive system for Industrial applications. The main objective of current controller is to force the load current vector to follow the reference trajectory in the three-phase load. There are three types of current controllers used in voltage source inv...

Voltage source inverter (VSI) fed induction motors are widely used in variable speed applications. The harmonic distortion in the line currents of the inverter depends on the switching frequency and the pulse width modulation (PWM) technique employed to switch the inverter. The inverter switching loss is also strongly influenced by the PWM technique used. This paper compares the harmonic distor...
