SIMULATION AND CALCULATIONS
This chapter shows how harmonic elimination is done in Inverter by Pulse Width
Modulation technique by solving the non linear equations. Equations are used to
determine switching angles of an Inverter. Switching angles play an important role to
produce the desired output by eliminating selected harmonics.
In order to form the equation set, fundamental component is given desired output
value and all other harmonics are equated to zero. In my simulation I find the switching
angles for the 5 th , 7 th and 11 th harmonics. [9]
The equation which is derived for Total Harmonic Distortation of the the output
voltage of an inverter is used in order to reduce the harmonics that are produced in the
inverter. The percentage of the Total Harmonic Distortion is given by the following
formula.[9]
%THD = x 100
where n = 6i ± 1(i = 1,2,3….)
The switching angles which are required for the THD are calculated as shown in
the figures and the simulation codes. The codes for THD is also shown in detail.
