On continuous control of PWM inverters in the overmodulation range including the six-step mode

The power output and the dynamic performance of PWM (pulse width modulated) controlled AC motor drives can be improved by increasing the inverter output voltage through overmodulation. Two different solutions are proposed to increase the output voltage in a continuously controllable fashion up to maximum possible value, which is reached in the six-step mode. The solutions differ in their approaches. A space vector strategy is used for high dynamic performance, high switching frequency drives, while a field-oriented PWM method is used for low switching frequency, high power inverters. Experimental results are presented. >
