Abstract

An optimal time-domain technique for pulse-width modulation (PWM) in three-phase inverters is presented. This technique is based on the time-domain per phase analysis of three-phase inverters for linear, balanced output load circuits. Exact analytical solutions for the output phase currents are presented for first, second, and third order circuits for any sequence of rectangular pulses. Next, the role of symmetries in the structure of three-phase PWM inverter voltages is discussed. Finally, using the exact analytical solutions for phase-currents as well as symmetry considerations, minimization of output current harmonics is set up as an optimization problem. Sample numerical results are presented that highlight improvements in the performance of three-phase inverters.
