Space Vector Pulse Width Modulation Schemes for Two-Level Voltage Source Inverter
International Journal on Control System and Instrumentation, 2 (2): 5 (October 2011)
Abstract
Space Vector Pulse Width Modulation (SVPWM)
method is an advanced, computation intensive PWM method
and possibly the best among all the PWM techniques for
variable frequency drive applications. The SVPWM is an
alternative method for the determination of switching pulse
width and their position. The major advantage of SVPWM
stem from the fact that, there is a degree of freedom of space
vector placement in a switching cycle. This feature improves
the harmonic performance of this method. This method has
been finding widespread application in recent years because
of the easier digital realization and better dc bus utilization.
In this paper, three SVPWM schemes, called 7-segment space
vector modulation (SVM), 7-segment SVM with even-order
harmonic elimination and 5-segment (discontinuous) SVM
are studied in detail. The theoretical analysis, design,
switching sequence and SIMULINK implementation of these
three SVM schemes is presented in step-by-step manner
