This study introduces a new pulse width modulation (PWM) method to reduce common-mode voltages (CMVs) and then compares its performance with other reduced CMV-PWM (RCMV-PWM) methods. CMVs should be reduced to ensure the electromagnetic compatibility and safety of grid-connected inverters. RCMV-PWM methods attempt to synthesize voltage references without zero vectors, which cause high CMV peaks. In these methods, the peak-to-peak magnitude of CMVs can be reduced by one-third of the conventional space-vector PWM. The introduced method splits every reference vector into two vectors to avoid the use of zero vectors. The performances of the RCMV-PWM methods are analyzed in accordance with the modulation index through simulation and experiment.

In this paper, we propose a single-phase inverter system using new modulation method. The proposed system is composed of a buck-boost converter and an inverter and controlled by PWAM scheme. PWAM method is a new modulation method which is the incorporation of PWM(Pulse Width Modulation) and PAM(Pulse Amplitude Modulation) methods. The DC voltage which is the input voltage of buck-boost converter is converted into a variable DC voltage by buck-boost converter. Also, the variable DC voltage which is the output voltage of buck-boost converter is converted into a sinusoidal AC voltage by inverter. The input voltage of inverter is processed by PWM switching in PWM section and bypassed in PAM section. By using PWAM method, switching action is not existed in PAM section and thus the times of switching is reduced. As a result, the switching loss can be reduced.

This paper discusses an intelligent digital redesign technique for designing a fuzzy pulse-width-modulated (PWM) control. First when we are given a well-designed fuzzy analog control, the equivalent digital control is intelligently redesigned. Using the similar technique we intelligently redesign the fuzzy PWM control from the intelligently redesigned fuzzy digital control. A stabilizability of the intelligently redesigned PWM control is rigorously analyzed.

In this paper, an advanced torque control scheme of SRM using DITC(Direct Instantaneous Torque Control) and PWM(pulse width modulation) is presented. Different from conventional DITC method, proposed method uses one or two switching modes at every sampling time, instead of only one switching mode. The duty ratio of the phase switch is regulated according to the torque error and simple control rules of DITC. Moreover the sampling time of control can be extended, which allows implementation on low cost micro-controllers. A simple calculation of PWM can assure a constant switching frequency with an excellent control performance. The proposed control method is verified by the simulations and experimental results.

In order to overcome the problem of fossil fuel energy, electric vehicle (EV) has been used in recent years. The important issues of EV are driving distance and lifetime related to EV efficiency. A voltage source converter is one of the main components of EV which can be operated with various pulse width modulation (PWM) schemes such as continuous PWM schemes and discontinuous PWM schemes. These PWM schemes will cause the effects on the efficiency of converter system and the lifetime of EV. Therefore, this paper proposes an analysis of the PWM schemes for the power converter on the EV. The objective is to find out a best solution for the EV by comparing the total harmonic distortion (THD) and transient response between the various PWM schemes. The operation of traction motor on the EV with the PWM schemes will be verified by using Psim simulation program.

This thesis proposes novel SRP-PWM(Separately Random Pulse Position PWM) techniques and novel two-phase switching pattern applied to four-switch inverter, having various advantages such as operation time decrease that is required for decrease of switching damage, easy of implementation and inverter control at high frequency switching. In this thesis, we wish to confirm that SRP-PWM techniques disperse harmonic spectrum of inverter output current evenly into wide frequency area, that is, side-band of specification frequency. And we confirm the harmonic reduction effect of proposed techniques. Therefore, we will achieve an experiment by IGBT inverter using DSP and will verify the validity of proposed techniques compared with simulation results that use MATLAB/SIMULINK.

In this paper, the new smart dimming algorithm which is mixed with PWM and PAM control method is proposed for reducing the power consumption of LED TV Backlight. The proposed technique is using the curve characteristics of LED forward voltage and current which is proportionally changing LED forward voltage as changing LED forward current. Therefore, each PWM and PAM control method has different LED forward voltage and current in the same brightness condition. The PWM control method adjusts the brightness of LED TV Backlight by only varying the duty ratio of PWM and constantly sustaining the amplitude of LED forward current and voltage. So, the level of LED forward current and voltage in the PWM control method is relatively high and constant regardless of duty ratio of PWM. On the other hand, the PAM control method adjusts the brightness of LED TV Backlight by directly varying the level of LED forward current. So, the level of LED forward current and voltage in the PAM control method is lowered according to the brightness level. For the above-mentioned reason, the PAM control method has the advantage of reducing the total power consumption of LED TV Backlight at the brightness condition of below 100%, compared with PWM control method. By implementing this characteristic to LED driver circuit with control algorithm in MCU, the power consumption of LED TV Backlight can expect to be reduced. The effectiveness of the proposed method, new smart dimming algorithm, CPWAM(=Conditional Pulse Width Amplitude Modulation), has been verified by experimental results.

This paper proposes a two-phase RCD-PWM scheme which is much better than a three-phase RCD-PWM scheme from the standpoint of the broadening and linearizing effect of the power spectrum. To implement the proposed scheme and conventional scheme, the experiment based on the SAB-Cl67 micro-controller was executed. Based on the space vector modulation technique, the duty ratio of the pulses is calculated using the SAB-Cl67 and each of PWM pulses is located randomly in each switching interval. The power spectrum of the output voltage, output current, the d.c link current and the acoustic noise radiated from inverter drives are experimentally investigated. 1'hen, the performance of the proposed scheme was compared and discussed with the conventional scheme.
