Simulation and implementation of a harmonics suppression technique for a single-phase full-bridge converters

Abstract

ABSTRACT This paper presents a harmonic suppression technique for a single-phase full-bridge converter, and the mathematical principles underlying a modified PWM technique are discussed. To verify the effectiveness of the proposed technique, voltage and current sensor circuits in a single-phase full-bridge converter connected to a digital signal processor controller with an analog-to-digital converter were analyzed experimentally. The output voltage harmonics of the converter were examined, and the frequency spectra of the output voltage were analyzed. Furthermore, a digital control system with a TMS320F2808 digital signal microcontroller was realized. The experimental results verified the effectiveness of the proposed technique in suppressing low-frequency harmonic in a prototype of a converter.
