5. Space vector modulation for three-phase inverter

1 INTRODUCTION
A three-phase 2L inverter is connected to the 3ph grid (400 V, 50 Hz) through a RL lter. By appropriately setting the phase and
magnitude of the voltage synthesized by the inverter, the power exchange with the AC grid can be modied or set.

2 TASKS DESCRIPTION
1. Create a space vector PWM (SV-PWM) block following the implementation steps presented during the lecture according to
the following steps/subsystems:
(a) Determine the magnitude (M) of the reference space vector (given in the frame)
(b) Determine the angle () of the reference space vector
(c) Determine the sector (s) where the reference space vector is
(d) Calculate the duty-cycles () for the active and zero space vectors
(e) Assemble the switching pattern for odd and even sectors (cf. slide 22)
(f) Send the PWM signals out (sw)
2. As in the previous week determine the DC link voltage needed. Compare SV-PWM with CB-PWM with min/max common mode
injection for S = 3.5 kVA and = 3/4 in time and frequency domain. Whats the magnitude and angle of the converter
modulation index? Whats the magnitude of the fundamental of the grid current? Please add an initial condition to Lg in order
to get rid of the initial transient.
