Abstract
- A generalized space-vector-based spread spectrum modulation scheme for multilevel inverters is proposed in this paper. The proposed scheme uses the principle of sigma–delta modulation as applied to analog-to-digital converters (ADCs), based on the view that a multilevel converter could be interpreted as an oversampling ADC. The principle of vector quantization is utilized for quantizing the instantaneous reference voltage space vector in the proposed space-vector-based sigma–delta converter. The switching vectors of the inverter are naturally selected without sector identification, ensuring optimum switching sequence under all conditions including the overmodulation region. As the sigma–delta converter results in a randomly varying switching frequency, the proposed scheme has spread spectrum characteristics. To avoid fractional arithmetic, a 60 ^\circ coordinate system is used to represent the space vector in this paper. The proposed scheme can be used for any general n-level inverter, and experimental results are presented for four-, five-, and six-level inverters, driving a 2-hp three-phase induction motor in an open-end winding configuration. The experimental results of the proposed scheme are compared with the space-vector pulsewidth modulation (PWM) scheme and random PWM scheme. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]
