A new real-time method for generating PWM patterns is proposed in this paper. The method realizes sinusoidal input and output currents, controllable input displacement factor regardless of load power factor, and maximum output voltage range. The proposed method is also effective to reduce higher and fractional harmonic components in the output voltages and the input currents, since the method uses three phases of the input voltage sources which are able to be connected to the output at the same time. Moreover, the higher harmonic oscilliation in the input filters is reduced by changing the switching sequence of the PWM patterns adequately, and the distortion of the input current is improved. An output current feedback control based on the proposed switching pattern realizes an exact and quick response of the output current. Finally, feasibility of the proposed method is confirmed by simulations and experiments.}, pages = {712--721}, title = {A new method of PWM control for forced commutated cycloconverters using microprocessors}, year = {1998} }
