Abstract: This document demonstrates the process of building a sector-independent Space Vector Modulation
(SVPWM) system using a DSP processor in fundamental motor drive systems. The implementation of traditional space
vector modulation proves complex because it includes extensive calculations. Before moving forward, it is essential
to determine the magnitude of voltage vectors according to speed specifications and Volts/Hz data in software and
hardware domains. Computing the phase angle and quadrant and sector determination enables the calculation of
switching time segments based on decomposition matrices.
This proposed algorithm dissipates all computational requirements that exist in traditional approaches. The
closed loop control system achieves precise switching period control through fixed compare register values which it
implements using the Volts/Hz principle. Through its built-in Space Vector Pulse Width Modulation hardware module,
the TI TMS320LF2407A generates PWM pulses that include four switching states within one PWM period. The
performance evaluation of the 4-hp induction motor supplied by IGBT-based inverter modules generated through
DSP processor control pulses showed promising results.

Keywords: PWM Volts/Hz concept, Space vector, DSP processor, and Closed loop control

I. Introduction
The wide acceptance of PWM inverter-fed adjustable speed AC motor drives results from their superior
performance combined with higher operational efficiency when compared to standard motor drives. The PWM
inverter controls the supply voltage and current to motors by adjusting frequency together with magnitude for
sustained flux operation. Two types of pulse-width modulation exist namely space vector PWM and trapezoidal PWM
along with sinusoidal PWM and hysteresis PWM. The various motors including the switched reluctance, BLDC and
AC induction receive their PWM-based controls through these methods. The popularity of Space Vector PWM
technology continues to rise because it delivers higher fundamental output and produces fewer output harmonics.
Current developments in high-speed DSP technology enable researchers to execute complex control
algorithms. The development utilizes the Texas Instruments TMS320LF2407A DSP controller which includes
practical accessories to fulfill work requirements. There are two separate methods which generate SVPWM
waveforms [2]. This software-based method depends exclusively on the standard comparison features of the digital
processor. The comparison registers receive data that was calculated as switching time intervals during this phase.
The PWM channels require dual toggling states to form six distinct switching conditions inside one PWM cycle. The
PWM pulses are created through the hardware module of the DSP LF2407A in hardware-implemented topologies.

II. Control Methodology


A combination of switching states which match the basic space vectors constructs the SVPWM method [4]
for approximating motor voltage vector. During short sampling intervals defined by the program the average inverter
voltage output needs to match the average outgoing reference voltage. The fundamental Space Vector orientations can
be found in Figure 2.

During speed variations the automatic output voltage regulation happens because the software maintains
constant Volts/Hz ratios through its fixed T1 and T2 values. The closed loop control technique can be visually
represented through Figure 3.

III. Experimental Results


The hardware schematic which was implemented appears in Figure 5. According to performance tests the
motor achieved satisfactory results when it operated at rated speed while carrying loads and without loads. The
hardware used a 300V DC link voltage combined with 5.88kHz as its maximum switching frequency limit. The
terminal voltage output of the motor decreases according to Figure 6 during 500 rpm operation without applying a

operations. The depicted phase current waveform (scaled down) appears in Figure 8 under all operating conditions.

IV. Conclusion
The research introduces an unburdened approach for space vector modulation implementation in basic motor
control functions. The approach functions effectively with either closed-loop and open-loop systems. The DSP
processor's quick computing power enables automated step angle adjustments that improve drive performance across
different operating situations. The extension of fin remains possible when Space Vector Modulation appears in
alternative application systems.
