This paper presents a modified Space Vector Pulse Width Modulation Technique (SVPWM), which solves the well-known problem of voltage imbalance in the capacitors of a single-phase multilevel inverter. The proposed solution is based on the measurement of DC voltage levels at each capacitor of the inverter DC bus. The measurements are then used to adjust the size of the active vectors within the SVPWM algorithm to keep the voltage waveform sinusoidal regardless of any voltage imbalance on the DC link capacitors. When a voltage deviation exceeds a predetermined hysteresis band, the correspondent voltage vector is restricted to restore the voltage level to an acceptable threshold. Hence, the need for external voltage regulators for the voltage capacitors is eliminated. The functionality of the proposed algorithm is successfully demonstrated through simulations and experiments on a grid tied application.

A novel digital control algorithms are developed for an active power filter (APF) using a pulse-width modulated (PWM) rectifier with current link. A main control algorithm compensating both the reactive power and harmonic currents with fast dynamic response is derived through a vector approach. A space vector modulation technique is developed for the PWM rectifier in order to generate the desired current vector of the APF. The system generates no acoustic noise and it is implemented with a minimal control hardware structure using the Intel 80196 single-chip microcomputer. Experimental results show that the proposed scheme gives good dynamic and static performance for the APF system.

One of the non-photorealistic rendering method, a drawing technique which uses only fine curves and dashed line, is widely employed in an knots and post stamps printing. Engraving of the curves and lines are traditionally performed by human engravers which leads to low productivity in printing preparation. As an effort to improve productivity and quality, a drawing automation method which can easily produce a portrait composed of vector data for laser or chemical engraving is proposed. The method shows that it is possible to draw a portrait by controling the width and length of predefined fine lines according to the gray scales a the end points of each fine lines. A gradually controled weighting factor method is proposed in addition to the author previous works to prevent undesirable boundaries in an identical texture region. User interface functions of a commercial CAD system are heavily employed to exploit the presented method.

This paper concerns a method for high precision torque control of induction motor supplied with power via a Transister inverter. The control system is totaly digitized using DSP - TMS32010.Since operation time leads to control delay in such a system, torque ripples are more significient than relieved considerably by using current preview control and vector pulse width control. The usefulness of these techniques will be demonstrated by showing the results of a simulation,and results of measurement on a 2.2Kw induction motor.

This paper deals with a simple method in order to analyze and compare the harmonic characteristics in the multi-level inverter. Generally, the magnitude of harmonic components becomes different according to the multi-carrier Pulse Width Modulation(PWM) techniques, the modulation index($M_i$) and the switching frequency The previous papers analyzed the harmonic characteristics from the viewpoint of the space voltage vector. Hence, the calculation of the harmonic vector becomes more difficult and complex in 4-level or over 5-level. However, the proposed method has reduced an amount of calculation and simplified the process of it, using the relationship between the reference voltage and the output phase voltage to the load neutral point. It is applied to the 5-level cascade inverter and the harmonic characteristics for each multi-carrier PWM technique are compared through the simulation.

This paper deals with an algorithm for controlling ac output voltage of Z-source inverter using Modified SVPWM (abbreviated as MSVPWM). Unlike the conventional space vector pulse width modulation, MSVPWM has one extra shoot-through zero time $T_{sh}$. During shoot-through zero time, both switches in a leg are conducted simultaneously in order to boost inverter output voltage to any desirable value regardless the line voltage. The algorithm to control linearly the capacitor voltage is suggested to improve the performance of Z-source inverter system. The performance of Z-source inverter using above algorithms is demonstrated in simulation results using PSIM. Index terms-Z-source inverter (ZSI), shoot-through time, three-phase carrier-based PWM, space vector PWM (SVPWM), modified space vector PWM (MSVPWM).

Due to several advantages of Pulse Width Modulation(PWM) Converter, such as unity power factor operation, elimination of low-order harmonics and regeneration of motor braking energy to source, the application range of PWM Converter has been rapidly extended in industrial application. Nowadays, vector control algorithm and space vector PWM(SVPWM) method are applied to improve the performances of PWM Converter, but vector control algorithm and SVPWM require to use Microprocessor and other digital devices in hardware, causing costly and somewhat large dimension system. In every practical application of energy conversion equipments, the design and implementation should be carried out considering cost and performance. High performance and low cost is the best choice for energy conversion equipments. So, this paper presents the practical design method and implementation results of 3-phase PWM Converter with analog hysteresis current controller, and verifies the performances of unit power factor operation and energy regeneration operation via experimental results.

An increase of pulsed power demand and load variation produce bad effect to power system. This causes power factor decrease. This paper proposes the excitation of the secondary side of wound rotor induction machine as one of harmonic compensation systems. In this paper, a harmonic compensation scheme based on stator flux-oriented vector control is proposed. By using the flux-oriented vector control, a voltage source PWM(Pulse Width Modulation) control scheme can be applied with fast dynamic response time. The designed control scheme is verified through simulation.

Dead-time element must be set into space vector pulsed width modulation signals to avoid short circuits of the inverter. However, the dead-time element distorts the output voltage vector, which deteriorates the performance of electrical machine drive system. In this paper, dead-time effect and its compensation control strategy are analyzed. Based on the analysis, the voltage distortion caused by dead-time is regarded as two disturbances imposed on dq axes in the rotor reference frame, which degenerates the current tracking performance. To inhibit the adverse effect caused by the dead-time, a control scheme using two linear extended state observers is proposed. This method provides a strong ability to suppress dead-time effects. Simulations and experiments are conducted on a permanent magnet synchronous motor drive system to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.
