| Sumario: | The modulation techniques used in high power applications have to generate high quality waveforms with reduced switching losses. As an attractive alternative, discontinuous PWM (DPWM) techniques present lower device switching frequencies than conventional continuous PWM methods lowering the converter switching loss. Considering the same cooling system, this allows to increase the carrier frequency of DPWM methods displacing the main switching harmonics to higher frequencies. As a main drawback, when low carrier to fundamental ratios are used, DPWM methods present some undesired low-order harmonics that are required to be filtered. This article presents a low-order harmonic minimization method for synchronous DPWM methods by modifying the conventional modulating reference to limit low order harmonics amplitude, while keeping the same effective switching frequency and thus limited switching losses. |
