Problem: the output voltage is square waveform. But for AC load, sinusoidal
waveform is required.
Solution: To obtain a waveform similar to sinusoidal, duty ratio shoud be changed.

26
Solution: Sinusoidal Pulse-width Modulation (SPWM)
Problem now become: how to control the inverter with changing duty
ratio in order to obtain a sinusoidal output voltage
 VM is compared with VC
 If VM is greater than VC, turn on T1
 If VM is smaller than VC, turn on T2
Based on this switching scheme, what do the gate driving signals of T1 and T2 look like?

 Example 1 (Motor drive)
The three-phase full-bridge inverter can be used to drive the synchronous motor. The inverter
input is supplied by dc voltage source. The inverter three-phase output is connected to the
stator. The rotor could be permanent magnet or windings excited by dc current to produce
the magnetic flux. If the inverter is controlled using SPWM to generate three-phase ac
voltages, three-phase ac currents will be induced at the stator. Then, there will be
electromagnetic torque generated because of the stator magnetic flux and rotor magnetic
flux. As a result, the rotor will be “Pulled” by the stator to rotate.
Stator
Rotor
Frequency of the modulation signal – frequency of the inverter output voltage – frequency of
the stator current – rotating speed of the stator flux – rotor speed.

 Example 2 (AC power supply)
The output of a solar PV panel is 120 V DC. Design an electric circuit that can
supply 80 V AC power to a three-phase load. This load can only be operated
in 50 Hz AC voltage.
