Inverters (DC–AC Converters)

Abstract

In this chapter, state-of-the art voltage source inverters are analyzed and their possible states of operation are presented in table form; the current source inverter is analyzed as well. The most well-known pulse width modulation (PWM) control techniques are presented and analyzed including sinusoidal PWM (SPWM), multicarrier SPWM, selected harmonic PWM, trapezoidal PWM, harmonic injected PWM, hysteresis band current controlled PWM, 60°-PWM, space vector PWM. P–Q control theory, the Clarke and Park transformations are presented and the power static compensator is introduced. Solved problems and simulation results are presented to help the reader understand the theory presented in the chapter.
