Part B
Develop a simulation program for the conventional SVM scheme using the
seven-segment switching sequence given in Table 6.3-4. Run your simulation
program for the tasks given in Table P.1.
B.1 For each of the above tasks, draw waveforms (two cycles each) for the
inverter line-to-line voltage VAB (V) and inverter output current iA (A).
B.2 Plot the harmonic spectrum (0 to 60th harmonics) of vAB normalized to
the dc voltage Vd and iA normalized to its rated fundamental component
IA1,RTD (138.8 A). Find the THD of vAB and iA.

B.3 Summary
The waveform of vAB is not half-wave symmetrical, i.e., f (t) f (t + ).
Therefore, it contains both even and odd order harmonics.
The THD of iA is much lower than that of vAB. This is due to the filtering effect of the load inductance.
The voltage and current harmonics appear in sidebands whose frequency is
centered around the sampling frequency (720 Hz) and its multiples (such as
1440 Hz).
The fundamental voltage VAB1 is proportional to the modulation index ma.
The THD of vAB decreases with the increase of ma, which is consistent with
the THD curve in Fig. 6-3.7.
The number of pulses Np per half cycle of the inverter fundamental frequency
does not affect the THD significantly. For example, the THD of vAB in Figure
P.1(a) with Np = 22 is 147.6% in comparison to 150.9% in Figure P.2(a)
where Np = 12.
The harmonic spectrum of vAB in Figure P.4(b) is very close to the measured
spectrum in Fig. 6.3-6.

C.4 Summary
The waveform of vAB is of half-wave symmetry, i.e., f (t) = f (t + ).
Therefore, it does not contain any even order harmonics.
The THD of vAB and iA in Figure P.6 is almost identical to that given in Figures P.3(a) and P.4(b), which implies that the use of the modified SVM for
even order harmonic elimination does not affect the THD profile of the inverter.
The harmonic spectrum of vAB in Figure P.6(b) is very close to the measured
spectrum given in Fig. 6.3-10.
