An all scalar PWM and control approach for the four-leg inverter based three phase transformerless UPS is proposed. The output voltage of each phase is controlled independently and its controller is formed by a stationary frame resonant filter bank accompanied with proportional control and output capacitor current based active damping loops. The resonant filter bank consists of the fundamental component controller and one controller for each dominant harmonic. The simple to implement scalar control method exhibits superior overall steady-state and dynamic performance in the UPS application. Utilizing the inverter zero-state partitioning, a generalized form of scalar PWM for the four-leg inverter is developed. A novel minimum loss discontinuous PWM (MLDPWM) method, which provides minimum switching losses under all operating conditions (including unbalanced load operation) is derived. This simple scalar method provides superior performance and unlike the vector methods it is easy to implement. The controller and modulator design and implementation details for the system are given. Linear and nonlinear loads for balanced and unbalanced load operating conditions are considered. The scalar control and PWM methods are proven by means of theory, simulations, and thorough laboratory experiments of a 5 kVA UPS system.

Output voltage control of a four-leg inverter based three-phase UPS by means of stationary frame resonant filter banks Demirkutlu, Eyyup; Cetinkaya, Sueleyman; Hava, Ahmet Masum (2007-05-05) A method for high performance output voltage control of a four-leg inverter (FLI) based three-phase UPS is proposed. Stationary frame resonant filter bank based output voltage control loop, which is complemented by capacitor current feedback based active damping loop, is employed. Utilizing the zero-state partitioning variable, a generalized form of scalar PWM for the FLI is developed and the minimum loss discontinuous PWM method is derived. The controller and modulator design and implementation details for...
A Scalar Resonant-Filter-Bank-Based Output-Voltage Control Method and a Scalar Minimum-Switching-Loss Discontinuous PWM Method for the Four-Leg-Inverter-Based Three-Phase Four-Wire Power Supply Demirkutlu, Eyyup; Hava, Ahmet Masum (2009-05-01) An all-scalar-control and pulsewidth-modulation (PWM) approach for the four-leg-inverter (FLI)-based three-phase transformerless four-wire power supply (PS) is proposed. The output voltage of each phase is controlled independently, and its controller is formed by a stationary-frame resonant-filter bank accompanied with proportional-control and output-capacitor current-based active-damping loops. The simple and easy to implement scalar-control method exhibits superior overall steady state and dynamic perform...

Output Ripple Performance Evaluation and Comparison of 2L-VSI and 3L-VSI Considering the Spectral Characteristics Özkan, Ziya; Hava, Ahmet Masum (2015-06-05) In this paper, two-level and three-level voltage source inverters (2/3L-VSIs) with popular pulse width modulation (PWM) methods are investigated in terms of their output (ac-side) voltage and current ripple spectral characteristics and waveform quality properties such as peak-to-peak ripple, rms ripple, and weighted total harmonic distortion. As the switching frequency and the filter size influence the output waveform quality, the inverter efficiency (loss) constraint on the switching frequency, and the siz...
