Abstract
In this paper, a variable switching frequency space vector pulsewidth modulation control is proposed. It is used to achieve zero voltage switching (ZVS) for a three-phase grid-connected voltage source inverter with unity power factor. A wide range of ZVS can be realized without any additional sensors, auxiliary circuits, or current zero crossing detection circuits. The switching frequency can be easily calculated by a digital controller. The frequency variation range in a line cycle is only about 1.5 times at any specific load. An LCL filter is used to attenuate the high current ripples at the inverter side, and active damping is adopted to avoid the resonance and reduce the filter power loss. The switching loss can be significantly reduced by using silicon carbide mosfet s so that the conversion efficiency is high. The power density can also be improved due to the high switching frequency and the low inductance value of the filter. The operating principle, design considerations, and loss analyses are discussed in detail. A 3.5-kW simulation and experimental prototype interfacing a 350–400-V dc with a three-phase 110-V ac grid is developed to verify the performance of the proposed control strategy.
