Random hysteresis PWM inverter with robust spectrum shaping

A hysteresis current-controlled pulsewidth modulation (PWM) scheme is simple and robust in switching control, but it is subject to not constant switching frequency. However, since its harmonic spectrum is not randomly distributed like those yielded by the random PWM (RPWM) scheme, the annoying harmonic effects still exist. A random switching control strategy is proposed here to let the harmonic spectrum of the hysteresis current-controlled PWM inverter be randomly distributed. First, the effect of varying band on the harmonic distribution characteristic of a hysteresis current-controlled PWM scheme is analyzed. Then a random hysteresis PWM scheme and its quantitative design procedure are proposed. Finally, a robust spectrum shaping technique is devised such that the desired harmonic distribution pattern can be achieved. In the resulting frequency spectrum, the magnitudes of lower frequency harmonics are shaped and reduced. Hence the inverter output with a better harmonic attribute is obtained. Validity of the proposed random hysteresis PWM scheme is verified by some simulated and measured results.
