“…In problem formulation, the input power factor has also been included and the numerical technique–based Newton‐Raphson method has been used in solving the transcendental equations. Similar work has also been reported in previous works, where the harmonics minimization problem is first converted into an objective function and then minimized using various optimization techniques.…”

Summary This paper presents a low switching frequency–based pulse width modulation technique for a 3 × 3 indirect matrix converter. The nontriplen lower‐order harmonics are considered for minimization using differential evolution–based metaheuristic technique. The mathematical equations are formulated while considering minimization of nontriplet lower‐order harmonics along with control of fundamental voltage. An objective function is constructed by considering all the constraints on the feasible region and then it is minimized by using differential evolution technique. It is observed that the solution in the entire modulation range exists along with multiple solutions. Various cases of switching angles are considered, and solution trajectories are reported in practically feasible range. This type of modulation and control scheme is extremely useful in high power applications such as unified power flow controller as it minimizes the switching losses in the converter. The theoretical findings are verified by simulation and hardware results.

This paper presents the single-phase sinusoidal pulse width modulated ac chopper topology with power MOSFET embedded four-quadrant switch (4QSW) realizations and examines from the power quality viewpoint the potential for its use in ac power control. The examination is conducted for resistive and inductive loads by theoretical estimate of the current harmonic content at the ac utility and load. Sinusoidal pulse-width modulation (SPWM) in the ac chopper provides output voltage with symmetrical half cycles that comprise symmetrical pulses with widths and magnitudes proportional to the amplitude of the sinusoidal reference signal. It has two control parameters; the amplitude modulation index (m) and the frequency modulation ratio (p). MATLAB simulation data and results prove that manipulation of m and p alters the harmonic profile of the line and load currents substantially and, therefore, can be used for harmonic mitigation and selective elimination. Thus, cost-effective and compact current harmonic filters can be designed using the SPWM technique.
