Summary

dc-to-ac converters are known as inverters The function of an inverter is to change the dc input voltage to an ac

output voltage of desired magnitude and frequency The output voltage waveforms of ideal inverters should be sinusoidal However, the output of practical inverters contains harmonics For high power applications, low distorted sinusoidal waveforms are

required Harmonic contents could be minimized by the use of high-speed

semiconductor switching techniques

Inverters are widely used in industrial applications- motor drives, UPS, induction heating, standby power

supplies, etc.- input may be a battery, fuel cell, solar cell, or there dc

source

dc-to-ac inverters can make smooth transition into the rectification mode, where the flow of power reverses from the ac side to the dc side

Two types of inverters: single-phase inverters and three-phase inverters

Voltage control of 1-phase inverter

- The needs to have a controllable output voltage :

1) To cope with variations of DC input voltage

2) For inverter voltage regulation

3) For constant volts/frequency control requirement

- Most efficient techniques is by incorporating PWM control within the inverter :

a) Single pulse width modulation - PWM

b) Multiple pulse width modulation - MPWM

c) Sinusoidal pulse width modulation - SPWM

d) Modified sinusiodal pulse width modulation - MSPWM

e) Phase displacement control

Modulation index:

M=Ar/Ac

Varying Ar from 0 to Ac, will increase the δ thus the output will vary from 0 to Vs

Modulation index:

M=Ar/Ac


DF increased badly significantly at low output voltage

3rd harmonic more dominant on single PWM

fo will set the output frequency while fc will determines the pulses per half cycle,p.

fc / fo = mf, frequency modulation ratio

fo will set the output frequency while fc will determines the pulses per half cycle,p.

fc / fo = mf, frequency modulation ratio

-By using several pulses, (p=5) The harmonic content are reduced compared to single PWM

- the DF is also reduced significantly.

- but switching loss would increased.

- if p increased, the amplitude of lower order harmonics would be lowered but it will increase the high-orders harmonics

c) Sinusoidal pulse width modulation - SPWM

-Pulse width varied proportional to the amplitude of sinewave ref signal.

- the gating signal generated by comparing the triangular carrier wave and sinusoidal ref signal.

Sinusoidal pulse width modulation - SPWM

Modulation index:

M=Ar/Ac


-DF is less compared to MPWM

- eliminates the lower order harmonics of 2p-1, for this p=5, lowest order harmonics is 9th.

- the harmonics were pushed to the high frequency range of fc. So it would be much easier for low-pass filtering process.

- instead of 100% pulses, carrier wave is applied on 1st and last 60 degree of half cycle.

- advantages :

a) Fundamental component increased

b) Harmonics characteristics are improved.

c) Reduce switching loss.

e) Phase displacement control

- multiple inverter are used, output is taken from summation of output voltage of the individual inverter.

-

2 half bridge inverter output

Output with 180 degree displacement.

Output with β degree displacement

Three-Phase Inverter

Used to supply three-phase loads Three single-phase inverters could be used with 120 degree displacement

or shifting between phases, however, 12 switches are necessary Consists of three legs, one for each phase One of the two switches in a leg is always ON at any instant Output of each leg depends on Vd and the switching status

Current source inverters

- a large inductor component inserted at the input

-input behaves like a current source

-The output current will maintained constant at any loads but output voltage forced to change

-Diodes in series are required to block the reverse voltage on the transistors.
