Their disadvantage, a much higher switching frequency compared to other PWM methods, can be distinctly reduced by applying space vector based two dimensional hysteresis controllers. Four different control schemes are discussed and compared: the conventional method with three independent phase current controllers and three space vector based controllers operating with a two-dimensional hysteresis control and different switching tables. It is shown that their stationary behavior is only slightly inferior to the one of feedforward PWM methods.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":358822,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of IEEE Power Electronics Specialist Conference - PESC '93","volume":"48 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1993-06-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131538079","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This graphical signature, called fish, is a representation of the integrated voltage vector in revolving coordinates. Online switching rules which limit the radial and tangential flux deviations for voltage-source power-converters are shown. In this way the relative torque- and current-ripple are reduced while any given minimum on-time constraint of the applied semiconductor switches and snubbers is strictly obeyed. This online switching strategy can deal with a varying DC-link voltage, thus tolerating smaller DC-link capacitors and a weaker grid (long cables e.g.).

The method yields lower weighted harmonic distortion than the harmonic elimination techniques.
