Pulse width modulation methods are widely used for the synthesis of ac voltages at the terminals of a voltage-sourced converter (VSC). Traditionally sinusoidal pulse width modulation (SPWM) has been used. A powerful alternative is space vector modulation (SVM), in which the converter is placed in a finite number of states in order to best approximate the reference voltage. The primary objective of this book is to provide a solid framework for advanced modulation techniques for high power applications. This book reviews the pulse width modulation techniques, studies the SVM method for two- and...
