Suppressing EMI in Power Converters via Chaotic SPWM Control Based on Spectrum Analysis Approach

Abstract

This paper aims at developing a spectrum analysis approach for suppressing the electromagnetic interference (EMI) in power converters via chaotic sinusoidal pulse width modulation (CSPWM) control signals based on double Fourier series. In detail, we prove that the total harmonics of power converters under CSPWM control are the same with those of power converters under traditional SPWM control. Then, we introduce a novel spectrum analysis approach based on sawtooth carrier and double Fourier series. Moreover, a photovoltaic (PV) inverter is used to validate the proposed spectrum analysis approach based on the calculation of the output voltage spectrum for CSPWM control signals. In particular, this proposed method can also be used for the spectrum analysis of multiperiodic signals. Indeed, this developed spectrum analysis approach provides a rigorous theoretical foundation for the CSPWM control in EMI suppression.
