    Abstract Novel modulation which consists of conventional space vector modulation (SVM) based on a virtual AC/DC/AC conversion and carrier signal modulation for matrix converters is proposed. In this proposed modulation, duties for the switching pattern decided by conventional SVM are changed into those for each switch of matrix converter. The new duties for each output phase are compared with the triangle carrier. By using proposed modulation, switchings between the input phase voltage with minimum value and the voltage with maximum value are eliminated. In this paper, the conventional SVM and proposed modulation are explained. Next, for both conventional and proposed modulations waveforms of input current, output voltage and output current and their frequency spectra are calculated by PSIM simulation program. Simulation results show the proposed modulation can reduce harmonics of output voltage waveforms. © 2010 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

    Generalised algorithm of novel space vector modulation: for N -level three-phase voltage source inverter

    Abstract This paper concerns the development of a generalised algorithm of a novel space vector modulation (SVM) for N -level three-phase voltage source inverter. It is considering that the (N,1) DC input voltages of inverter are constant. The proposed method ensures initially the determination of the N3 inverter switching states, the extraction of the redundancies to obtain 3N(N -1),+,1 independent switching states and their organisation by sector in six distinct matrices Wk with k,=,(1,,,,,6). After that, these matrices Wk with k,=,(2,,,,,6) are ordered as the matrix W1 related to the first sector. So, the research of the three closest vectors to the reference vector is carried out only in first sector and for this purpose, the equivalent reference vector is introduced which is resulting from the rotation by ,(k,1),/3 of the reference vector. The on-line choice of the three vectors (three switching states of the inverter) is based on the distances between the equivalent reference vector and some vectors located in its vicinity in the (,,,) plane of the first sector. Moreover, a simple method for the calculation of the duty cycles for these three switching states is proposed which exploits directly the three shortest distances associated to these three selected vectors. The sequence of these three switching states over a sampling period is investigated in view to reduce the harmonic contents of the voltage output. The application is carried out on an N -level three-phase voltage source inverter, where N is an arbitrary odd integer. Finally, the phase voltage and its harmonic spectrum provided by a three-phase N- level inverter with N,=,(3,5,7,9,13,15) are presented to confirm the generalisation of this method.

    Mixed p-z approach for analytical analysis of an induction motor fed from space-vector PWM voltage source inverter

    This paper proposes an analytical method for calculating both the steady-state and transient performance of an induction motor fed from the three-phase voltage source inverter. As a modulation technique of the inverter we consider space vector modulation. The proposed method makes use of the Laplace and modified Z-transformation of the space vectors (mixed p-z approach) to predict current response of induction motor. From the Laplace transform of the stator voltage vector we can also derive Fourier analysis to predict the voltage harmonic spectrum. Experimental tests have been carried out confirming the validity of the analytical results. [source]
