Summary and Conclusion<br />

The two-level VSI is the dominant topology used in BPMS motor control. The six-step 120°<br />

commutation (in many different varieties) is used to control trapezoidal BPMS motors; it is also<br />

used to control any other type of BPMS motor, but torque ripple will be produced. For all other<br />

applications in low to medium power BPMS control, the 180° inverter is used. It can be<br />

controlled via traditional sinusoidal PWM methods or via SVM; the only differences lie in how<br />

the switch commands are generated and in the ZS signal produced. The ZS signal allows the<br />

maximum sinusoidal output of the inverter to be extended by 2/ 3 as compared to regular<br />

SPWM methods; there are any number of suitable ZS signals that accomplish this. Inverter<br />

control methods that produce a ZS signal can be used only with isolated neutral or deltaconnected<br />

loads.<br />

More information concerning PWM and VSIs is given in [60], [119], [120], [121], [122], [123].<br />

In surveying the literature it seems that the most important measures of performance are those<br />

summarized below.<br />

- bus utilization<br />

- linearity of control<br />

- ease of implementation<br />

- control over the effects of dead-time<br />

- switching loss<br />

- voltage harmonic content<br />

- current harmonic content<br />

Bus utilization refers to the maximum fundamental amplitude achievable. For all properlyimplemented<br />

inverters that use some form of ZS signal, this limit is as described above and<br />

cannot be made to be higher.<br />

Linearity of control refers to the linearity of the modulation index over the operating range of the<br />

inverter. For SVM inverters this is naturally linear up to the THI limit. In all inverters, operation<br />

through the overmodulation mode into the six-step mode is not linear and requires a control<br />

algorithm to make it so. There are numerous overmodulation schemes but overmodulation is not<br />
