For example, PWM-based three-phase voltage source inverters (VSI) convert DC power to AC power with variable voltage magnitude and variable frequency. This thesis discusses the advantages and drawbacks of three different PWM tech- niques: the sinusoidal PWM (SPWM) technique, the third-harmonic-injection PWM (THIPWM) technique, and the space-vector PWM (SVPWM) technique. These three methods are compared by discussing their ease of implementation and by analyzing the output har- monic spectra of various output voltages (poles voltages, line-to-neutral voltages, and line-to-line voltages) and their total harmonic distortion (THD). The simulation results show that both the THIPWM and SVPWM techniques have lower total harmonic distortion than the SPWM technique. The THIPWM and SVPWM techniques in the under-modulation region can both increase the fundamental output volt- age by 15.5% over the SPWM technique. Moreover, the SVPWM technique can increase the fundamental output by about 5% in each of the overmodulation regions 1 and 2, respectively. v TABLE OF CONTENTS ABSTRACT . v LIST OF TABLES . viii LIST OF FIGURES . ix 1 Introduction . 1 1.1 Introduction . 1 1.2 Literature Review . 2 1.3 Research Motivation . 4 1.4 Thesis Organization . 5 2 Sinusoidal PWM and Third-Harmonic-Injection PWM . 6 2.1 Sinusoidal PWM . 6 2.1.1 Sinusoidal PWM Concept . 6 2.1.2 Modulation Index of Sinusoidal PWM . 9 2.2 Third-Harmonic-Injection PWM . 10 2.2.1 Concept and Calculation of Optimum Distortion . 10 3 Space Vector PWM . 16 3.1 Introduction . 16 3.2 Principle of Space Vector PWM . 17 3.3 Implementation Procedure of a Two-Level Space Vector PWM . 24 3.3.1 Angle and Reference Voltage Vector . 26 vi 3.3.2 Modulation Index of Linear Modulation . 27 3.3.3 Sector Determination . 29 3.3.4 Time Durations Ta, Tb, T0 ................................ 29 3.3.5 Determination of the Switching Times for Each Transistor Switch (S1 - S6)............................................. 36 3.3.6 Types of Different Schemes . 37 4 Space Vector PWM in Over-modulation Region . 44 4.1 Introduction . 44 4.2 Over-Modulation Mode 1 . 45 4.3 Over-Modulation Mode 2 . 51 5 Simulation Results . 55 5.1 Introduction . 55 5.2 Sinusoidal PWM . 56 5.3 THIPWM . 58 5.4 Under-Modulation of Space Vector PWM . 59 5.5 Mode 1 in Over-Modulation of SVPWM . 68 6 Comparison Between SPWM, THIPWM, and SVPWM Techniques . 75 6.1 Simulation Results . 75 6.2 Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) Comparison . 79 7 Conclusion and Future Work . 86 7.1 Conclusion . 86 7.2 Recommendations for Future Work . 87 REFERENCES . 89 vii LIST OF TABLES 3.1 Space Vectors, Switching States, and On State Switches . 21 3.2 Vectors, Switching Vectors, Phase Voltages and Line to Line Voltages as a Function of the DC Bus Voltage Vdc............................... 23 3.3 Voltage Vectors, Switching Vector, a and b ........................ 25 3.4 Sector Definition. 29 3.5 Time Intervals Ta and Tb for Each Sector . 34 3.6 Seven-Segment Switching Sequence . 37 3.7 Switching Pulse Pattern for the Three Phase for Each Sector . 41 3.8 Switching Sequence for Three-Phase PWM Technique . 42 0 0 4.1 The Time Intervals Ta and Tb for Each Sector . 48 6.1 Pole Voltage Vao in SPWM . 81 6.2 Voltages Vab, Van, and Vao in THIPWM . 82 6.3 Harmonics of Vao in Under-Modulation range of SVPWM . 82 6.4 Vao in Over-Modulation Region 1 of SVPWM . 83 6.5 Vab in the SPWM . 85 6.6 Van in the SPWM . 85 6.7 Vab in Under-Modulation of SVPWM . 85 6.8 Van in Under-Modulation of SVPWM . 85 6.9 Vab in Over-Modulation Region 1 of SVPWM . 85 6.10 Van in Over-Modulation Region 1 of SVPWM . 85 viii LIST OF FIGURES 2.1 Control Signal Generator for SPWM [27]. 7 2.2 Three-Phase Sinusoidal PWM Inverter [27]. 7 2.3 Three-Phase Sinusoidal PWM: a).
