Pulse Width Modulation Inverter Control Methods-A Comprehensive Study
Harmonics in electrical supply refers to the distortion of the normal electrical waveform due to the presence of frequencies that are multiples of the fundamental frequency. The presence of harmonics in electrical supply can lead to a number of problems, including: Overheating of equipment, Power quality issues, Extra energy consumption etc. This research aims to provide a cost-effective solution to reduce harmonics in three phase inverters and improve power factor without using any hardware components such as filters and multi-level inverters and by simply changing control pulses of the inverter switches. This research provides a comparison of three most popular inverter control techniques SPWM control, THPWM control and SVPWM control techniques of three phase inverters. All these techniques were compared with the help of MATLAB-SIMULINK and the best control technique with lower order harmonics and less power factor was determined.
