Among various Power converters, a variable voltage variable frequency (VVVF) three-phase PWM inverter is regarded as most promising power converter due to its capabilities, which permits the control of voltage, frequency and harmonic contents in a single power stage employing only on DC source. As a modulating technique of the PWM inverter, the regular sampling technique has rendered possible the on-line computation and generation of PWM control waveforms with a reasonably high switching frequencies. In this paper, microprocessor based three-phase regular samping PWM inverter with real-time control algorithm and control circuits for driving three phase AC motor has been developed. Harmocic components of PWM waveform were analized theoretically in terms of Bessel function series and then calculated by digital computer and observed with spectrum analyzer.

This paper describes a new method to eliminate some selected harmonics (5,7,11) in PWM waveforms using Walsh and related orthogonal functions. Previous analyses of PWM waveforms are based on the nonlinear equations requiring iterative solution methods which are not practical in real-time systems. In addition, synthesis of low harmonics waveform at high power system is not easy to implement with power electronic hardware. The goal of this paper is to achieve the harmonics elimination in a PWM waveform by replacing the nonlinear equations in Fourier analysis with linear algebraic equations resulting from the use of orthogonal Walsh equation. This paper also describes how to synthesize low ordered harmonic waveforms with practical power electronic hardware. Walsh and Radmacher functions are easily manipulated by Harmuth's array generator, and those algorithms are accurate, computationally efficient and faster than algorithm based on Fourier analysis. In addition, this method is simulated to synthesize periodic PWM waveforms. From the experi-mental results, it is shown that single-phase PWM waveform are identified with the proposed method. And these methods are also extended to three-phase PWM waveforms in this paper.

In this paper, new photovoltaic system that has 3 step output voltage is proposed. This system use new PWM method named as equivalent area PWM. This method is based on the criterion of the calculation that each area of voltage pulses equals to the integrated value of each time shared division of the reference sinusodial waveform to make a PWM pulse. We applyed this method to 2 step inverter and 3 step inverter and analyzed waveform using FFT.

In order to drive motor control system precisely, the motor is to be controlled by mmfs and current with sinusoidal waveforms. In this paper the Delta Modulation (DM) Technique is used for generating PWM pulse with sinusoidal waveform. However the motor currents yet contain odd harmonics due to leakage inductances, speed and exitation. To reduce harmonics, the parameter adaptive control method is introduced. That is, Req.C parameter of Delta Modulator is controlled adaptively by parameter adaptor. The adaptive signal is achieved by the difference between motor current and reference waveform, and this signal is converted to the voltage commend signal by adaptive mechanism. The test reslts show that this system is operated smoothly over a wide range of motor speed and motor current is controlled to be sinusoidal waveform adaptively.

this paper a new PAM-PWM Inverter using IGBT Is described. The output waveforms in the proposed PAM-PWM inverter are investigated both theoretiically and experimentally. The line-voltage waveform is composed of fundamental component and the sidebands of carrier frequency. The lower order harmonics are not included In the output waveform. As each inverter arm does not operate during two-thirds period, the heats, generated in the devices are reduced. That is the size of the inverter system can be minimized because of the reduction In the heat dissipating equipemnt.

This paper describes several PWM method for harmonics reduction in GTO inverter. The analysis and simulations of PWM techniques are carried out. The simulation results demonstrate that the programmed PWM methods(SHE PWM) are superior to the sine-modulated PWM method. The selected harmonic elimination (SHE) PWM scheme which eliminates specific lower order harmonics can generate high quality output waveform in PWM inverter.

In the variable speed driving system of a three phase induction motor controlled by a PWM inverter, the output terminal contains considerable amount of harmonic components of the voltage waveform due to the switching action of semiconductor devices, causing torque ripples, acoustic noise and oscillation of the motor. This paper describes a new algorithm which eliminates the harmonics and controls the fundamental voltage in three phase PWM inverter output waveform. The new algorithm utilizes the technique of particular harmonics elimination (PHE) by walsh series in three phase PWM inverter output waveform. A microprocessor (8086 CPU)-controlled three phase induction motor system is described to realize this algorithm. The system is designed for 3 phase output voltage in the 1-60Hz interval where 5th and 7th harmonics, and 5th, 7th, 11th, and 13th harmonics are eliminated. Also, the fundamental wave amplitude is designed to be proportional to the output frequency. The performance of the proposed method shows sufficient elimination of the harmonics and also reduction of computation time which determines switching pattern. The proposed PWM pattern by Walsh series, is effective not only to induction motors but also to other electromagetic equipments such as voltage regulators and UPS.

A new current controlled PWM technique with N.P.C structure is proposed in this paper. A current controlled PWM technique with neutral-point-clamped pulsewidth modulation inverter composed of main switching devices which operates as switches for PWM and auxiliary switching devices to clamp the output terminal potential to the neutral point potential is described. This inverter output contains less harmonic content as compared with that of a conventional current controlled PWM type. In addition, the proposed current controlled PWM technique has lower switching frequency than that of conventional current controlled PWM technique at the same current limit. Two inverters are compared analytically. The improved voltage waveform of current controlled PWM with N.P.C structure is analyzed and the performance is investigated by the computer simulation.

A low-pass L-C filter has been adopted for conversion of frequency variable 3 phase PWM waveform to a grid power line and it is used for attenuation of harmonics in the VSI PWM Inverter. A optimum design of the L, C parameters was derived. The result of the study show that the inductor L seems to have a certain air gap for linear I-V characteristics and the resonant frequency of the filter must be set below the 5th harmonics of the grid power line. Further, the voltage drop in L must be within a adequate limit compared to grid power voltage.
