Abstract

This invention concerns a method of controlling a power converter system 26 operating in an overmodulation region. The power converter system 26 comprises more than two current controllers 71, 73, 77, 79 a modulator 76 and a power converter 78, and the modulator 76 is configured to provide at least one modulated drive signal 87 to the power converter 78 based on voltage reference vector signals 82a, 82b, 82c, 82d from the more than two current controllers 71, 73, 77, 79. The method comprises determining the voltage reference vector signals 82a, 82b, 82c, 82d; determining compensated voltage reference vector signals 84a, 84b, 84c, 84d indicative of a fundamental frequency of a respective voltage reference vector signal 82a, 82b, 82c, 82d; and, determining the at least one modulated drive signal 87 based on a combination of the compensated voltage reference vector signals 84a, 84b, 84c, 84d.
