Analysis of the Current Ripple in Three-Phase Two-Level VSIs

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Peak-to-Peak Output Current Ripple Analysis in Multiphase and Multilevel Inverters

Part of the book series: Springer Theses ((Springer Theses))

Abstract

This chapter provides survey on optimal three-phase inverter techniques, carrier-based CB-PWM and space vector PWM. Chapter proceeds with the definition of the output current ripple for a general case. Further on, it gives the complete analysis of the peak-to-peak output current ripple in three-phase inverters, with reference to the optimal modulation and three-phase loads, such are both grid-connected and motor loads. The analysis is accompanied with the numerical and experimental results.
