DISADVANTAGES OF TRADITIONAL METHODS
Complexity increases

PULSE WIDTH MODULATION
The modulating of width of the pulse by
keeping height as constant.
The different time periods or pulses will be
given to power electronics devices.
Although this modulation technique can be
used to encode information for transmission.
Its main use is to allow the control of the
power supplied to electrical devices,
especially to inertial loads such as motors.

CLASSIFICATION OF PWM

SINGLE-PULSE WIDTH MODULATION
Single pulse for half cycle generates from this
techniques.
It consists of a pulse located symmetrical about π/2
and another pulse located symmetrical about 3π/2.
The shape of the output voltage is Quasi-Square wave.

Great deal of harmonic content is introduced in the output voltage.
The amplitude of harmonic content is 0.33 units.
Very poor performance at lower voltages.
CONTD.,

MULTIPLE-PULSE WIDTH MODULATION
It is an extension to single pulse width modulation.
More pulses will exist in an half cycle.
The width of every single pulse is same.

lower order harmonics are
eliminated.
The magnitude of higher harmonics
would go up.
This has more applications than
single-pulse width modulation in
olden days.
CONTD.,

SINUSOIDAL PULSE WIDTH MODULATION
Pulses will have
different widths.
The width of the
individual pulse will
be decided
according to the
angular position of
sine wave.

CONTINUE
Height of the pulse is kept as constant
Odd multiple of 3 and even harmonics are suppressed
Popularly accepted pulse width modulation technique.

DISADVANTAGES OF ABOVE
PWM TECHNIQUES
 Lesser utilization of DC supply voltage.
 Higher harmonics
 Lower modulation index
 Less flexibility
 Difficult in manipulation
Unique solution to above all problems is

technique.

 S1 through S6 are the six power transistors that shape the ouput voltage
 When an upper switch is turned on (i.e., a, b or c is “1”), the corresponding lower
switch is turned off (i.e., a', b' or c' is “0”)
 Line to line voltage vector [Vab Vbc Vca]t
 Line to neutral (phase) voltage vector [Van Vbn Vcn]t
 Eight possible combinations of on and off patterns for the three upper transistors (S1, S3, S5)

 The eight inverter voltage vectors (V0 to V7)

 The eight combinations, phase voltages and output line to line voltages

 Principle of Space Vector PWM
 This PWM technique approximates the reference voltage Vref by a combination
of the eight switching patterns (V0 to V7)
 The vectors (V1 to V6) divide the plane into six sectors (each sector: 60 degrees)
 Vref is generated by two adjacent non-zero vectors and two zero vectors
 Coordinate Transformation (abc reference frame to the
stationary d-q frame)
: A three-phase voltage vector is transformed into a vector in the
stationary d-q coordinate
frame which represents the spatial vector sum of the three-phase
voltage
 Treats the sinusoidal voltage as a constant amplitude vector rotating
at constant frequency

 Basic switching vectors and Sectors

 6 active vectors (V1,V2, V3, V4, V5, V6)
 Axes of a hexagonal
 DC link voltage is supplied to the load
 Each sector (1 to 6): 60 degrees
 2 zero vectors (V0, V7)
 At origin
 No voltage is supplied to the load

 Comparison of Sine PWM and Space Vector PWM (2)
 Space Vector PWM generates less harmonic distortion
in the output voltage or currents in comparison with sine PWM
 Space Vector PWM provides more efficient use of supply voltage
in comparison with sine PWM
 Voltage Utilization: Space Vector PWM = 2/3 times of Sine PWM

 Realization of Space Vector PWM
 Step 1. Determine Vd, Vq, Vref, and angle ()
 Step 2. Determine time duration T1, T2, T0
 Step 3. Determine the switching time of each transistor (S1 to S6)
