Generalized Functional Model for Three-Phase PWM Inverter/Rectifier Converters

Abstract

The traditional circuit-based analysis of static power converters has proven to be unsuitable for handling the design requirements of the ever-growing number of circuit topologies. This situation has prompted the introduction and use of analysis methods based on converter function rather than circuit configuration. Such a method is presented, the novel feature of which is that it is simultaneously applicable to a group of converter families instead of individual converters. The resulting advantages are obvious, and they are conclusively demonstrated here.
