with Pulse Width 
Modulation 
10/22/14 360 Chapter 9 Power Electro3nics
9.5.1 Voltage Source Inverter 
• The amplitude of the harmonics can be reduced 
by using the pulse width modulation (PWM) 
technique. 
• The basic concept of the PWM method is the 
division of the on-time into several on and off 
periods with varying duration. 
• The rms value of the ac voltage is controlled by 
the on-time of the switches,. 
10/22/14 360 Chapter 9 Power Electro4nics
9.5.1 Voltage Source Inverter 
• The most frequently used PWM technique is 
sinusoidal pulse width modulation. 
• This approach requires a bridge converter with 
IGBT or MOSFET switches shunted by an 
anti-parallel connected diode. 
• The diode allows current flow in the opposite 
direction when the switch is open. 
10/22/14 360 Chapter 9 Power Electro5nics
9.5.1 Voltage Source Inverter 
• These freewheeling diodes prevent inductive 
current interruption 
• This provides protection against transient 
overvoltage, which may cause reverse 
breakdown of the IGBT and MOSFET 
switches. 
• The typical circuit diagram is shown in Figure 
9.44.

9.5.1 Voltage Source Inverter 
• During the positive cycle, S1 and S2 are 
switched by the high frequency pulse train 
shown in Figure 9.45. 
• During the negative cycle, the pulse train 
switches S3 and S4. 
• The load inductance integrates the generated 
pulse train and produces a sinusoidal voltage 
(Vac) and current wave, as shown in Figure 
9.45. 
10/22/14 360 Chapter 9 Power Electro8nics
9.5.1 Voltage Source Inverter 
• The width of each pulse is varied in 
proportion to the amplitude of a sine 
wave. A typical PWM waveform is 
shown in Figure 9.45. 
• The switches in this converter are 
controlled by gate pulses. 
• The gate signal contains several pulses 
distributed along the half-cycle.

10/22/14 360 Chapter 9 Power Electro1n0ics
9.5.1 Voltage Source Inverter 
• The control circuit produces the gate pulse 
train by generation of a triangular carrier wave 
and a sinusoidal reference signal. 
• The two signals are compared, and when the 
carrier wave is larger than the reference signal, 
the gate signal is positive. 
10/22/14 360 Chapter 9 Power Electro1n1ics
9.5.1 Voltage Source Inverter 
• When the carrier wave is smaller than the 
reference signal, the gate signal is zero. 
• This results in a gate pulse with variable width. 
• Figure 9.46 
– (a) shows the carrier wave and reference sine wave; 
– (b) depicts the resulting gate signal with variable 
width pulses. It has to be noted that several other 
methods are used for generation of PWM signals

9.5.1 Voltage Source Inverter 
• The frequency of the reference sine wave 
determines the frequency of the generated ac 
voltage. 
• The amplitude of the ac voltage can be 
regulated by the variation of the reference 
signal amplitude. 
10/22/14 360 Chapter 9 Power Electro1n5ics
9.5.1 Voltage Source Inverter 
• The amplitude of the fundamental component 
of the ac voltage is: 
V = V =

V 
• The modulation index is the ratio of the peak-to- 
peak ac voltage (2Vac) to the dc voltage. 
10/22/14 360 Chapter 9 Power Electro1n6ics
9.5.1 Voltage Source Inverter 
Freewheeling diode 
• The inverter interrupts the current several 
times each cycle. 
• The interruption of an inductive current would 
generate unacceptably high overvoltage. 
• This overvoltage generation is eliminated by 
providing freewheeling diodes connected in 
parallel with the switches. 
10/22/14 360 Chapter 9 Power Electro1n7ics
9.5.1 Voltage Source Inverter 
Frdeieowdheeeling 
• When the 
switches 
open, the 
current, if 
inductive, is 
diverted to 
the diodes, as

• The diagram shows the current path when switches S1 and S2 are 
closed, and switches S3 and S4 are open. 
• When switches S1 and S2 open (now all switches are open), the 
current diverts through the diodes of switches S3 and S4. 
• This current diversion prevents the interruption of inductive current.

9.5.2 Line Commutated Inverter 
10/22/14 360 Chapter 9 Power Electro2n0ics
9.5.2 Line Commutated Inverter 
• The current source inverter operation requires 
both ac and dc sources 
• In addition to an inductance that maintains the 
dc current constant or at least assures 
continuous dc current. 
• The inverter operation requires a delay angle 
between 90° and 180°. 
10/22/14 360 Chapter 9 Power Electro2n1ics
9.5.2 Line Commutated Inverter 
• Figure 9.48 shows bridge 
circuit generated waveforms 
for 90° and 170° delay angles. 
– (a) shows that the delay 
angle between the ac 
voltage 
– The square-shaped ac 
current is 90° 
– The average dc voltage is 
zero 
– Because the magnitude 
and duration of the 
positive and negative 
segments of the dc voltage 
are identical.

9.5.2 Line Commutated Inverter 
• The practical use of the line-commutated inverter 
requires the regulation of the dc voltage to maintain 
constant dc current. 
• Figure 9.49(a) shows the bridge converter circuit that 
produces the voltages shown in Figure 9.48. 
• Using the Thévenin equivalent, the converter can be 
replaced by a dc source and impedance, as shown in 
Figure 9.49(b).

• The converter delay angle 
and the dc source voltage 
must be controlled 
simultaneously to maintain a 
constant voltage difference 
and dc current. 
• In a practical circuit, the 
required voltage difference is 
generally small 
• Consequently, both the 
inverter-produced voltage 
and the source voltage must 
be negative, as shown in 
Figure 9.50.
9.5.2 Line Commutated Inverter 
• The dc current can be 
maintained constant by 
keeping the voltage difference 
constant. 
• Consequently, if the delay 
angle increases, Vdc_inv is 
reduced; 
• The maintenance of constant 
dc current and voltage 
difference requires the 
appropriate reduction of the 
Vdc_source.

increases beyond 90°, 
– Vdc_inv becomes

– The maintenance of

• In this case, the 
power flows from the 
dc to the ac circuit,

10/22/14 360 Chapter 9 Power Electro3n0ics
9.5.3 High Voltage DC transmission 
• High-voltage dc lines are used to transport large 
amounts of energy over a long distance. 
• A representative application is the Pacific DC Intertie, 
which interconnects the Los Angeles area with Oregon. 
• The voltage of the DC Intertie is ±500 kV and the 
maximum energy transport is 3100 MW. 
• More than one hundred dc transmission systems 
operate around the world, one of the oldest and most 
famous is the cable interconnection between England 
and France.

transmission
9.5.3 High Voltage DC transmission 
• Figure 9.51 show a simplified connection 
diagram for a high-voltage dc (HVDC) system. 
• The major elements are two converter stations 
interconnected by a dc transmission line. 
• The converter station can operate in both 
inverter and rectifier modes, which permits 
energy transfer in both directions. 
• Each converter station contains two converters. 
10/22/14 360 Chapter 9 Power Electro3n3ics
9.5.3 High Voltage DC transmission 
• The two converters are connected in series at 
the dc side. The series connection node (middle 
point) is grounded. 
• One of the converters generates the positive, 
and the other produces the negative dc voltage. 
• The harmonics are filtered at both the ac and 
dc sides. 
10/22/14 360 Chapter 9 Power Electro3n4ics
9.5.3 High Voltage DC transmission 
• Each converter is typically supplied by a 
transformer. The HVDC system uses two 
different transformer types at each converter 
station. 
– One of the converters is supplied by a wye-wye 
transformer 
– The other is connected to a wye-delta transformer. 
• This produces a 30° phase shift between the dc 
voltage outputs of the two converters. 
• The phase shift produces a smoother dc output 
voltage. 
10/22/14 360 Chapter 9 Power Electro3n5ics
9.5.3 High Voltage DC transmission 
• Figure 9.52 shows the converters in a HVDC 
station. 
• Each converter contains six high voltage valves, 
with several hundred thyristors connected in 
series. 
• The valves are shielded by rounded aluminum 
electrodes as shown in the Fig 9.52
