Abstract

An inverter controller adjusts a selected switching pattern to accommodate minor variations and loads in the neighborhood of that pattern. The controller realizes in real-time the equivalent of an iterative solution of predetermined patterns. A number of representative pulse width modulated (PWM) patterns are selected for a range of loads and link ripple. A portion of the fundamental output is inserted onto the d.c. link to control one or more higher harmonics.
