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 performance in the PS applications involving loads with high crest factor and/or significant load imbalance. Utilizing the inverter zero-state partitioning, a generalized form of scalar PWM for the FLI is developed. A novel minimum loss discontinuous PWM method, which provides minimum switching losses under all loading conditions (including load imbalance), 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 imbalanced 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 PS.

A High-Performance PWM Algorithm for Common-Mode Voltage Reduction in Three-Phase Voltage Source Inverters Hava, Ahmet Masum (2011-07-01) A high-performance pulsewidth modulation (PWM) algorithm with reduced common-mode voltage (CMV) and satisfactory overall performance is proposed for three-phase PWM inverter drives. The algorithm combines the near-state PWM (NSPWM) method that has superior overall performance characteristics at high modulation index, and MAZSPWM, a modified form of the active zero-state PWM method (AZSPWM1), which is suitable for low modulation index range of operation. Since AZSPWM1 has line-to-line voltage pulse reversals...
Output voltage control of a four-leg inverter based three-phase UPS utilizing stationary frame resonant filter banks Hava, Ahmet Masum (2007-09-05) An all scalar PWM and control approach for the four-leg inverter based three phase transformerless UPS is proposed.
