Advanced pulse width modulation (PWM) techniques such as space vector PWM, active zero state PWM, discontinuous PWM, and near state PWM methods are used in three-phase AC motor drives for the purpose of obtaining low PWM current ripple, wide voltage linearity range, and reduced common mode voltage (CMV). In some applications, a filter is inserted between the inverter and the motor for the purpose of reducing the stresses in the motor. The motor current PWM ripple components, terminal voltage overshoots, shaft voltage, and bearing currents, etc. can all be reduced by means of PWM techniques and passive filters. Various PWM techniques and passive filter types exist. This thesis studies the combinations of PWM techniques and filters and evaluates the performance of the motor drive in terms of the discussed stresses in the motor. PWM techniques are reviewed, a generalized algorithm for the implementation of PWM techniques is developed, and implementation on a 4 kW rated drive is demonstrated. Filter types are studied, among them the common mode inductor and the pure sine filter (PSF) configurations are investigated in detail. Filters are designed and their laboratory performance is evaluated. In the final stage the advanced PWM techniques and filters are combined, the incompatibility problem of discontinuous PWM methods with the PSF is illustrated. A cure based on rate of change limiter is proposed and its feasibility proven in the laboratory experiments. With the use of the proposed PWM algorithm and PSF, a motor drive with ideal DC to AC conversion stage (DC to pure sine) is achieved and its performance is demonstrated in the laboratory.

Series active filter design, control, and implementation with a novel load voltage harmonic extraction method Şentürk, Osman Selçuk; Hava, Ahmet Masum; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2007) Series Active Filters (SAF) are designed for harmonic isolation and load voltage regulation of single-phase and three-phase voltage harmonic source type nonlinear loads. The novel Absolute Value Method (AVM) for load voltage harmonic extraction is proposed and applied in the control algorithm of SAF. The SAF compensated systems are represented by simplified linear models such that SAF controller gains can be easily determined.

Design and implementation of a voltage source converter based hybrid active power filter Uçak, Onur; Ermiş, Muammer; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2009) This research work is devoted to the analysis, design and implementation of a shunt connected Hybrid Active Power Filter by the use of a lower rated voltage source PWM converter, and a series connected LC passive filter. In recent years, voltage and current harmonics have become a serious problem both in transmission and distribution systems, due to the widespread usage of non-linear loads such as diode/thyristor rectifiers, electric arc furnaces and motor drives. In order to obtain a better performance tha...
Repetitive control of a three-phase uninterruptible power supply with isolation transformer Çetinkaya, Süleyman; Hava, Ahmet Masum; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2006) A repetitive control method for output voltage control of a three phase uninterruptible power supply (UPS) with isolation transformer is investigated. In the method voltage control loop is employed in the stationary dq frame.
