This paper presents a optimal PWM patterns, applied to voltage source inverter fed traction motor drives. To derive a PWM patterns of low harmonic characteristic, the analysis and simulations of several PWM techniques are carried out. The acquired PWM patterns can reduce the harmonics and switch the GTOs with low frequency.

Application of conventional phase controlled power electronic circuits causes reduced power factor and increased harmonic component in the electric sources. Therefore, an Optimal PWM strategy has been investigated here in order to reduce to a large extent these effects mentioned. Optimal PWM converter has been to minimize the rms harmonic current in the sources and has been found to have a duality with Optimal PWM inverter. The voltage patterns of Optimal PWM Inverters are governed by the same switching patterns and control laws as the current patterns for Optimal PWM converter. The improvement requires switching devices having a high speed capability. While this formerly did require thyristors with force commutation circuits, today this feature is easily implemented by using power Transistor or GTOs. The control laws for minimizing the rms harmonics current in the source, the circuits and the results are shown in the paper.

In this paper, comparative analysis of offset voltage PWM method and $V_{max}-V_{mid}$ PWM method for three-phase matrix converter is addressed by using a simple analytical and graphical method. Offset voltage PWM method calculates PWM patterns in terms of offset voltage and variable slope of carrier, and it simplifies matrix converter modulation algorithm significantly. $V_{max}-V_{mid}$ PWM method generates patterns by using two phases and maintaining a remaining phase to base phase, and it is implemented in the industrial products. The most important performance criterion of modulation method is a magnitude of current ripples and it is analytically modelled. The graphical illustration of theses complex multivariable functions make per-carrier cycle and per fundamental cycle behavior of two PWM methods understood. Two modulation methods are analysed with the analytical formulas and graphics, and the analysis shows offset voltage PWM method is superior to $V_{max}-V_{mid}$ PWM method with respect to input current ripples and output voltage ripples.

This paper presents a systematic approach to study the carrier based pulse width modulation (PWM) techniques applied to diode-clamped and cascade multilevel inverters by using multi-modulating patterns. This method is based on the description of controllable redundant parameters in the modulating signals. A unified mathematical formulation is presented for carrier based PWM methods, which obtains outputs similar to the corresponding space vector PWM. A full and separate control of the fundamental voltage, vector redundancies and phase redundancies can be obtained in the carrier based PWM. In this paper, the proposed PWM method and corresponding algorithm for generating multi-modulating signals will be formulated and demonstrated by our simulations.

Reference/modulating waveform continuity is not a necessary condition for the implementation of switching patterns for three-phase pulse-width modulated(PWM) converters. This is based on the fact that the converter phase-voltages do not need to be sinusoidal and switching pattern discontinuities do not degrade the quality of output/input voltage/current waveforms by introducing low-order harmonics if certain parameters are optimized. This paper introduces the selected harmonic elimination to reduce the switching frequency and low-order harmonics compared with continuous PWM techniques and some discontinues switching patterns for PWM converter.

This paper deals with the implementation on a Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) of PWM switching patterns for a voltage multilevel inverter. The reference data in main microcontroller is transmitted to the FPGA through 16 general purpose I/O ports. Herein, three-phase reference voltage signals are addressed by the last 2-bit (bit 15-14) and their data are assigned in remaining 14-bit, respectively. The carrier signals are created by 16-bit counter in up-down counting mode inside FPGA according to desirable topology. Each reference signal is compared with all carrier signals to generate corresponding PWM switching patterns for control of the multilevel inverter. Useful advantages of this scheme are easy implementation, simple software control and flexibility in adaptation to produce many PWM signals. Some simulations and experiments are carried out to validate the proposed method.

This paper describes a new pulse width modulation (PWM) scheme suitable for microprocessor-based PWM inverters. Optimal switching patterns minimizing the performance index corresponding to the distortion factor are decided in real time by numerical calculation using the microprocessor-implemented control system. This PWM method is compared with conventional methods, such as the natural PWM and the direct PWM. Harmonic analysis using digital simulations shows that the proposed PWM scheme has much less low-order harmonics than the other methods. The validity of this method is verified in experiments using a microprocessor-based control system, where a 16-bit single-chip microcontroller, Intel 80c196kc is used.

Optimal Asymmetrical Pulse-width Modulated (APWM) technique for ac chopper is proposed which can improve the input power factor and eliminate the harmonics of output voltage up to a specified order, and also enables linear control of the fundamental component of the output voltage. The PWM switching patterns at the specified phase angle are obtained by Newton-Raphson method and theoretical comparisons are made with other PWM and APWM technique.
