Abstract
Conventional online control of AC/AC converter controlled by the selective harmonic elimination pulse width modulation technique (SHEPWM) is based on storing the offline calculated switching angle values in a form of lookup table. Then the required switching pattern of certain modulation index (M) is searched through the lookup table. This methodology suffers from limited system flexibility. This paper introduces a novel implementation scheme based on real-time calculation of the required SHEPWM switching pattern with linear control of the fundamental voltage component magnitude based on curve fitting technique for the exact switching angle trajectories. The accuracy of the derived polynomials is evaluated by calculating converter performance parameters using the approximated switching angles solutions obtained from the introduced method and the exact switching angles solutions. Detail of the introduced methodology is presented. Simulation and experimental results have been carried out to confirm the validity of the introduced algorithm
