1. Problem Description
In this simulation, we will study Sine- Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) technique. We will use the SEMIKRON IGBT Flexible Power Converter for this purpose. The system configuration is given below:

Fig. 1 Circuit model of three-phase PWM inverter with a center-taped grounded DC bus. The system parameters for this converter are as follows: IGBTs: SEMIKRON SKM 50 GB 123D, Max ratings: VCES = 600 V, IC = 80 A DC- link voltage: Vdc = 400 V Fundamental frequency: f = 60 Hz PWM (carrier) frequency: fz = 3 kHz Modulation index: m = 0.8 Output filter: Lf = 800 H and Cf = 400 F Load: Lload = 2 mH and Rload = 5 Using Matlab/Simulink, simulate the circuit model described in Fig. 1 and plot the waveforms of Vi (= [ViAB ViBC ViCA]), Ii (= [iiA iiB iiC]), VL (= [VLAB VLBC VLCA]), and IL (= [iLA iLB iLC]).

2. Sine- PWM
2.1 Principle of Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) Fig. 2 shows circuit model of a single-phase inverter with a center-taped grounded DC bus, and Fig 3 illustrates principle of pulse width modulation.

Fig. 2 Circuit model of a single-phase inverter.

Fig. 3 Pulse width modulation. As depicted in Fig. 3, the inverter output voltage is determined in the following: When Vcontrol > Vtri, VA0 = Vdc/2 When Vcontrol < Vtri, VA0 = Vdc/2

Also, the inverter output voltage has the following features: PWM frequency is the same as the frequency of Vtri Amplitude is controlled by the peak value of Vcontrol Fundamental frequency is controlled by the frequency of Vcontrol Modulation index (m) is defined as: peak of (V A0 )1

m= vcontrol vtri

Vdc / 2 VA0

where, (VA0 )1 : fundamental frequecny component of

2.2 Three-Phase Sine- PWM Inverter Fig. 4 shows circuit model of three-phase PWM inverter and Fig. 5 shows waveforms of carrier wave signal (Vtri) and control signal (Vcontrol), inverter output line to neutral voltage (VA0, VB0, VC0), inverter output line to line voltages (VAB, VBC, VCA), respectively.

Fig. 5 Waveforms of three-phase sine- PWM inverter. As described in Fig. 5, the frequency of Vtri and Vcontrol is: Frequency of Vtri = fs Frequency of Vcontrol = f1 where, fs = PWM frequency and f1 = Fundamental frequency The inverter output voltages are determined as follows: When Vcontrol > Vtri, VA0 = Vdc/2 When Vcontrol < Vtri, VA0 = Vdc/2 where, VAB = VA0 VB0, VBC = VB0 VC0, VCA = VC0 VA0

3. State-Space Model
Fig. 6 shows L-C output filter to obtain current and voltage equations.

Fig. 6 L-C output filter for current/voltage equations. By applying Kirchoffs current law to nodes a, b, and c, respectively, the following current equations are derived: node a:
dVLCA dV iiA + C f = C f LAB + i LA . dt dt

iiA + ica = i ab + i LA

node b:

iiB + iab = ibc +

iiC + ibc = ica + i LC

(3)

where, iab = C f

dVLAB dt

, ibc = C f

dVLBC dt

, ica = C f

Also, (1) to (3) can be rewritten as the following equations, respectively: subtracting (2) from (1):

To simplify (4) to (6), we use the following relationship that an algebraic sum of line to line load voltages is equal to zero:

VLAB + VLBC + VLCA = 0. Based on (7), the (4) to (6) can be modified to a first-order differential equation, respectively:

(7)

dV 1 1 LAB iiAB = dt 3C f 3C f

(i LAB )

dVLBC 1 1 = iiBC dt 3C f 3C f

(iLB C ) ,

(8)

dVLCA 1 1 = iiCA dt 3C f 3C f

(i LCA )

where, iiAB = iiA iiB, iiBC = iiB iiC, iiCA = iiC iiA and iLAB = iLA iLB, iLBC = iLB iLC, iLCA = iLC iLA.

By applying Kirchoffs voltage law on the side of inverter output, the following voltage equations can be derived:

di iAB 1 1 ViAB = V LAB + Lf Lf dt diiBC 1 1 = V LBC + ViBC . Lf Lf dt diiCA 1 1 = V LCA + V Lf L f iCA dt

(9)

By applying Kirchoffs voltage law on the load side, the following voltage equations can be derived:

di LA di LB = V LAB Lload dt + Rload i LA Lload dt Rload di LC di LB i LB = V + Rload i LB Lload LBC Lload Rload i LC dt dt di LC di VLCA = Lload dt + Rload i LC Lload
LA

(10)

Rload i LA

Equation (10) can be rewritten as:

di LAB dt =

Rload Lload i LAB

1 Lload 1 Lload 1 Lload VLCA V LAB

di LBC Rload i LBC + = dt Lload

V LBC .

(11)

di Rload LCA i LCA + = dt Lload

Therefore, we can rewrite (8), (9) and (11) into a matrix form, respectively: dVL 1 1 Ii = IL dt 3C f 3C f

dI i dt = 1 Lf

VL +

1 Vi Lf
L

(12)

dI L R 1 = VL load I dt Lload Lload

where, VL = [VLAB VLBC VLCA] , Ii = [iiAB iiBC iiCA] = [iiA-iiB iiB-iiC iiC-iiA] , Vi = [ViAB ViBC ViCA] , IL = = [iLAB iLBC iLCA] = [iLA-iLB iLB-iLC iLC-iLA] . Finally, the given plant model (12) can be expressed as the following continuous-time state space equation
T T

X& (t ) = AX(t ) + Bu(t ) ,

Note that load line to line voltage VL, inverter output current Ii, and the load current IL are the state variables of the system, and the inverter output line-to-line voltage Vi is the control input (u).
