 Introduction of Inverter
• Inverter, is a power electronic device or circuitry that changes direct
current (DC) to alternating current (AC).
• Inverters are classified into two main categories-

Voltage Source Inverter (VSI)−The voltage source inverter has

stiff DC source voltage that is the DC voltage has limited or zero
impedance at the inverter input terminals.

Current Source Inverter (CSI) −A current source inverter is

supplied with a variable current from a DC source that has high
impedance. The resulting current waves are not influenced by the load.
 Single Pulse Width Modulation

In this modulation there is an only one output pulse per half cycle. The output
is changed by varying the width of the pulses. The gating signals are generated
by comparing a rectangular reference with a triangular reference. The
frequency of the two signals is nearly equal.

 Sinusoidal Pulse Width Modulation
In this modulation technique are multiple numbers of output pulse
per half cycle and pulses are of different width. The width of each
pulse is varying in proportion to the amplitude of a sine wave
evaluated at the centre of the same pulse. The gating signals are
generated by comparing a sinusoidal reference with a high frequency
triangular signal.

 Advantage of SPWM Technique

• Low power consumption.

• High energy efficient upto 90%.
• High power handling capability.
• No temperature variation-and ageing-caused drifting
or degradation in linearity
• Easy to implement and control.
• Compatible with today‟s digital microprocessors
 Application Of SPWM Technique

• The width of this pulses are modulated in order to

obtain inverter output voltage control and to reduce
its harmonic content. Sinusoidal pulse width
modulation or SPWM is the most common method in
motor control and inverter application.
 Objective

• The main objective of the SPWM is to control

the inverter output voltage.
• Reduce the harmonic content in the output voltage.
 Future Work

• The future work includes improving the stability of

the system and also to study various instability in
SPWM-VSI with harmonic analysis and ways to
eliminate it and to design an actual household
SPWM-VSI with a better controller design.
