In PWM inverters used in traction motor drive systems, the switching frequency is restricted by their large power capacity and thus the electromagnetic acoustic noise is generated. To reduce such an audible noise, the new MRSF-PWM(Modified Random Switching Frequency PWM) method is proposed. In the Proposed MRSF-PWM method, both triangular wave and sawtooth wave are used together as carrier waves for harmonic diffusion and reference wave is generated by injecting 3rd harmonic into the stone wave to expand the linear control region of output voltages. To verify the validity of the proposed MRSF-PWM method, computer simulations are carried out. And the results show that the MRSF-PWM method is more excellent than other RPWM methods in the aspects of both linearity and harmonic diffusion md more effective than SPWM(Sinusoidal PWM) method for the reduction of an audible noise.

The objective of this paper is to investigate the power spectrum of a three-phase and a two-phase RCD (Random Pulse Centered Displacement) PWM scheme. The two-phase or three-phase pulses of RCD-PWM scheme are mutually center-aligned as in SVM(Space Vector Modulation), but the common pulse center is displaced randomly from the middle of the period. To verify the validity of the proposed two-phase RCD-PWM scheme, the power spectra of the output voltage, the d.c link current in the inverter drives and the radiated acoustic noise are experimentally investigated. And, the performance of the proposed two-phase RCD-PWM scheme was compared and discussed with the conventional three-phase RCD-PWM scheme.

본 연구에서는 고정 주파수를 갖는 유사 랜덤 주파수 캐리어 PW(PRC-PWM)을 제안하고 단상 5-레벨 캐스케이드 인버터에 적용하였다. 제안된 PRC-PWM의 펄스는 고정 주파수를 갖는 삼각파 캐리어와 그 역상의 삼각파 캐리어를 랜덤 비트 발생기(PRBS)에 의하여 랜덤하게 선택함으로서 새롭게 합성된 랜덤 주파수의 캐리어에서 얻고 있다. 제안된 PRC-PWM은 고정 주파수의 캐리어 합성만으로 랜덤 주파수의 캐리어를 매우 간단하게 구현할 수 있으며, R-L부하와 연결된 단상 5-레벨 캐스케이드 인버터를 제작하여 타당성을 입증하였다.

In this paper, 2 phase modulated SRPP-PWM(Separately Random Pulse Position PWM) is proposed. This PWM technique is based on the 2 phase modulated SVPWM(Space Vector Pulse Width Modulation). In according to the theory of SVPWM, 2 phase modulated SVPWM uses two pulses, not three pulses as in 3 phase modulated SVPWM. In the proposed SRPP-PWM scheme, each of two phase pulses is located randomly in each switching interval. The experimental results show that the voltage and switching noise harmonics are spread to a wide band area. Also, the performance of the proposed 2 phase modulated SRPP-PWM and the conventional SVPWM are compared to each other In result, the speed response is nearly similar to each other from the viewpoint of the v/f constant control.

HEV를 구동시키는 인버터 시스템은 고정 주파수로 스위칭하는 PWM(Pulse Width Modulation)방식으로 구동이 된다. 고정주파수를 이용한 PWM은 전류제어의 주기가 일정하기 때문에 디지털 화가 쉬운 장점을 가지고 있다. 하지만 그로인한 특정 주파수 부분에 고조파가 생성이 되게 되는데 이 고조파로 인해 소음이 유발된다. 하지만 이 소음을 억제하기 위해서 랜덤PWM을 사용하게 되면 전류 제어가 고정주파수로 스위칭하는 PWM에 비해서 완벽하게 되기가 어렵다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 HEV의 소음을 저감시키면서 동시에 전류제어도 가능한 랜덤PWM기반의 전류제어 방법을 연구하였다.

In this paper, RSF+RPP(Random Switching Frequency Ran-domized Pulse Position) PWM for three-phase voltage-controlled inverter is proposed. The LLPWM(Lead-Lag PWM) technique is that three switching pulses are located randomly back and forth in each switching interval But with the restriction of random distribution, the harmonic spectrum cannot be dispersedly and continuously distributed. To tackle this problem , First, the switching frequency is varied randomly. Next, the duty ratio is calculated under the first circumstance. Finally, the switching pulses are located randomly in the switching interval. To verify the validity of the proposed technique, Simulation Study is tried Using Matlab/Si...

The RPWM (Random· Pulse Width Modulation) is a switching technique to spread the voltage and current harmonics over a wide frequency area. By using randomly changing switching frequency of the inverter, the power spectrum of the electromagnetic acoustic noise can be spread to the wide-band area. The wide­band noise is much more comfortable and less annoying than the narrow-band one. So, the RPWM has been attracting interest as an excellent method for the reduction of acoustic noise on the inverter drive system. In this paper a new RPPWM (Random Position Space Vector PWM) is proposed and implemented. Each of three phase pulses is located randomly in each switching interval. Along with the randomization of PWM pulses, the space vector modulation is also executed in the C167 micro-controller. The experimental results show that the voltage and current harmonics are spread to a wide band area and that the audible switching noise is reduced by the proposed RPPWM method.

Unlike existing pulse-width modulation (PWM) techniques, such as sinusoidal PWM and random PWM, the wavelet PWM (WPWM) technique based on a Harr wavelet function can achieve a high fundamental component for the output voltage, low total harmonic distortion, and simple digital implementation. However, the original WPWM method lacks output voltage control. Thus, the practical application of the WPWM technique is limited. This study proposes an improved WPWM technique that can regulate output voltage amplitude with the addition of a parameter. The relationship between the additional parameter and the output voltage amplitude is analyzed in detail. Experimental results verify that the improved WPWM exhibits output voltage control in addition to all the merits of the WPWM technique.

In this paper, EPLD(Erasable Programmable Logic Device) based induction motor drives with a SRP-PWM(Separatley Randomized Pulse Position PWM) is proposed. In the proposed RPWM (Random PWM), each of three phase pulses is located randomly in each switching interval. Based on the space vector modulation technique, the duty ratio of the pulses is calculated. To verify the validity of the proposed RPWM, the experimental study was tried. Along with the randomization of PWM pulses, the space vector modulation is also executed in the TMS320C31 DSP(Digital Signal Processor). The experimental results show that the voltage and switching noise harmonics are spread to a wide band area. Also, the performance of the proposed SRP-PWM and the conventional SVM-PWM are nearly the same from the viewpoing of the v/f constant control.

The switching-mode power converter has been widely used because of its features of high efficiency and small weight and size. These features are brought by the ON-OFF operation of semiconductor switching devices. However, this switching operation causes the surge and EMI(Electromagnetic Interference) which deteriorate the reliability of the converter themselves and entire electronic systems. This problem on the surge and noise is one of the most serious difficulties in AC-to-DC converter. Random Pulse Width Modulation (RPWM) is peformed by adding a random perturbation to switching instant while output-voltage regulation of converter is performed. RPWM method for reducing conducted EMI in single switch three phase discontinuous conduction mode boost converter is presented. The more white noise is injected, the more conducted EMI is reduced. But output-voltage is not sufficiently regulated. This is the reason why carrier frequency selection topology is proposed. In the case of carrier frequency selection, output-voltage of steady state and transient state is fully regulated. A RPWM control method was proposed in order to smooth the switching noise spectrum and reduce it's level. Experimental results are verified by converter operating at 300v/1kW with $5%{\sim}30%$ white noise input. Spectrum analysis is performed on the Phase current and the CM noise voltage. The former is measured with Current Probe and the latter is achieved with LISN, which are connected to the spectrum analyzer respectively.
