Power converters using deterministic switching frequency schemes have switching noise concentrated at harmonic frequencies, resulting in enhanced electromagnetic emission. To suppress the harmonic spikes in three-phase multilevel voltage source converters, a digital control scheme based on dithered sigma-delta modulation (SDM) is proposed in this paper. Introducing a dithered sequence in an SDM varies the switching frequency randomly, resulting in the suppression of the spurious harmonic spikes in the output spectrum even with a regular control input. Although the switching frequency varies randomly, the minimum pulsewidth of the proposed scheme is the sampling time period, avoiding the minimum pulsewidth problem. Instead of a conventional scalar quantizer, the quantizer in the proposed dithered sigma-delta converter uses the principle of space vector quantization. The proposed scheme is experimentally verified on a constant v/f open-loop induction motor drive for a three-level inverter realized by cascading two two-level inverters. The performance of the proposed scheme is compared with different pulsewidth modulation schemes in the entire modulation index, including the overmodulation region.

A New Space Vector Pulse Density Modulation Scheme for Two-Level Five Phase Induction Motor Drive

Monisha A. Menon, Biji Jacob

Summary: In this article, a digital control scheme based on space vector pulse density modulation for a two-level five-phase induction motor drive is proposed. The scheme combines principles of digital signal processing techniques, such as sigma delta modulation and vector quantization, to form computationally efficient motor drives. The advantages of the scheme include reduced computational complexity, reduced acoustic noise, and electromagnetic interference in the drive.

A Simplified Space Vector Pulse Density Modulation Scheme Without Coordinate Transformation and Sector Identification

Monisha A. Menon, Biji Jacob

Summary: This article proposes a simplified space vector pulse density modulation (SVPDM) scheme for any odd-level inverter-based induction motor drive. The control strategy uses three sigma delta modulators, wherein the reference space vector is vector quantized to generate the output switching vectors. Compared with the SVPWM scheme, the proposed SVPDM scheme has advantages such as freedom from minimum pulsewidth problem, improved spectral features, convenience of digital implementation.

Reduction of Spurious Switching in Direct Vector Quantized Space Vector Pulse Density Modulation Scheme for Multilevel Inverters

Jeeshma Mary Paul, Biji Jacob

Summary: This article proposes a generalized online switching scheme for multilevel inverter based on direct vector quantized space vector pulse density modulation (DVQSVPDM), suitable for adjustable speed drive. The proposed DVQSVPDM reduces spurious switching and improves performance at lower modulation index by reducing total harmonic distortion (THD) of common mode voltage (CMV). The proposed scheme works for all n-level inverter topologies and the computations required remain the same irrespective of the level of inverter.

Jeeshma Mary Paul, Biji Jacob

Summary: This paper introduces a 3D SVPDM scheme for two-level four-leg inverter that utilizes abc coordinate system to provide better harmonic performance compared to SVPWM schemes, without complex timing calculations. The proposed scheme is suitable for active power filter applications. Simulation results show that 3D SVPDM exhibits better total harmonic distortion characteristics than 3D SVPWM scheme.
