Abstract

This paper analyses various space vector PWM schemes for a seven-phase voltage source inverter. At first the conventional method of utilising only two neighbouring large active space vectors and a zero space vector is illustrated. This is followed by using four active space vectors and finally six active and a zero space vectors are used to synthesis the input reference. A comparison of the developed schemes is presented based on various performance indices. Extensive Simulation results are provided.

Keywords
