discussed in this report. Good references (which often contain useful information aside from<br />

overmodulation techniques) include [141], [142], [143], [144], [145], [146], [147].<br />

The ease of implementation varies wildly with control methods, especially SVM because of the<br />

large number of implementation strategies. To review the innumerable varieties would be nearly<br />

impossible; surveying the latest articles in the literature would be a better starting point.<br />

There are numerous articles regarding the effects of dead-time and their mitigation [138], [139],<br />

[140]. Although it is a fundamental issue that may bear much importance, it is nonetheless an<br />

entire subtopic (much like the optimal switching problem) and would require a literature review<br />

to gain an understanding of the nature and magnitude of the problem and its remedies. In addition<br />

to the simple blanking time the turn-off and turn-on characteristics differ between transistor types<br />

and may be a function of load. A similar and related problem is the compensation for nonconstant<br />

DC link voltages (which can result from using too small a bulk capacitor, improper<br />

decoupling, commanding a very large step in torque, and so on).<br />

The remaining three topics are somewhat different because they are more complicated and are<br />

influenced by many factors (although the switching algorithm seems to be the dominant one).<br />

Switching loss is proportional to the switching frequency and depends on the switching<br />

algorithm; it is also a function of loading. Voltage and current harmonics should be divided into<br />

the baseband and switching harmonics. Baseband voltage harmonics will cause baseband current<br />

harmonics, which produce torque ripple. They should not be encountered as long as operation is<br />

restricted to the linear region. Voltage switching harmonic content is determined by the switching<br />

scheme but may also vary with modulation index. It seems to be a concern associated primarily<br />

with EMI. Current switching harmonics are a function of the load inductance; the copper and core<br />

losses they induce are functions of the particular motor design. Of all the topics discussed here,<br />

these last three were investigated the least due to their complexity. References to begin with<br />

might include [70], [148], [149], [150], [151], [152].<br />
