SPACE VECTOR MODULATION FOR NINE SWITCH INVERTER

OBJECTIVES
To reduce the number of switches so that switching losses are reduced. This is achieved by implementing a nine switch inverter to control two independent 3 phase loads. The implementation is achieved using the equation, Total number of switches = 3N+3, where N= number of loads connected. Here the control signals are given to the switches using Space Vector Modulation technique which is a form of PWM technique.

CONCLUSION

Switching sequence of the proposed SVM is composed of the upper active vectors, the lower active vectors and the zero vectors. The upper and lower active vectors are determined. For the impedance source inverter SVM algorithm is developed to reduce the number of switching and number of semiconductor switches.

The performance of the proposed SVMs was verified using computer simulation and it was validated using experimental data.

FUTURE SCOPE

Our demo consists of controlling two loads with nine switch inverter. The future scope of our project would be implementing the same to control multi number of loads with less number of switches, using the equation 3N + 3.
