Inverter output voltage synthesis using novel dead time compensation

Abstract

In this paper, a novel dead time compensation method is presented which produces inverter output voltages equal to reference voltages. The experimental result is also presented to demonstrate the validity of the proposed method. It shows that the compensation of the distorted voltage is possible up to sub-microsecond range. The reference voltage can be used as a feedback value, which is essential for sensorless vector control and flux estimation. The method is based on space vector PWM strategy and it can be carried out automatically by an inverter controller for initial set-up without any extra hardware.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">&gt;</ETX>
