Microprocessor Control of DC/AC Static Converters

Abstract
Microprocessor control of power electronic systems offers the possibility of improvements in reliability, maintenance and servicing, and increased control flexibility. This paper describes several pulsewidth modulation (PWM) waveforms where a predetermined number of unwanted harmonics can be canceled. The advantages and disadvantages of the different methods of delaying the signals in small microprocessor controlled PWM inverter drive systems are considered. Several examples of single-phase and three-phase PWM inverters, with the laws which govern the commutation angles, output waveforms, and their respective frequency spectra are presented.
