AIM: To simulate PWM inverter.

Introduction:

The basic inverter circuits performs the task of converting DC input power to AC output power.
Inverter can be widely classified based on many parameters but considering one of them based on
the arrangement of the power electronic switches are – Half Bridge Inverter and Full bridge
inverter. A full bridge inverter has two legs consisting of two semiconductor switches in each of
them with the load connected at the center points of the two legs.

The desired PWM technique should have the following characteristics:

 Good utilization of DC supplies voltage possibly a high voltage gain.


 Linearity of voltage control.
 Low amplitude of low order harmonic of output voltage to minimize the harmonic content
of output currents.
 Low switching losses in inverter switches.
 Sufficient time allowance for proper operation of the inverter switches and control system.

In SPWM (Sinusoidal Pulse Width Modulation) two signals are compared. The Modulating
reference signal is sinusoidal and the carrier wave is triangular. Gating pulses are produce by
comparing the two signals and width of each pulse is varied is proportion to the amplitude of the
sine wave. The reference peak amplitude controls the modulation and the RMS value of the output
voltage.
MATLAB Simulation:

The MATLAB Simulink model of the unipolar inverter is as shown Figure and for bipolar inverter.
A triangular generator and a sine wave generator are used for generating the carrier wave and the
modulating wave respectively. The carrier frequency is 11 Hz and the reference wave frequency
is 1 Hz. The modulation index can be varied by changing the amplitude of sinusoidal modulating
wave. The waveforms are for modulation index of 1.0
