Abstract

Space vector modulation methods and structures are provided that reduce feedback errors which degrade motor control performance. In particular, the rotation of a reference voltage vector Vref is modified as it rotates with respect to voltage vectors that each represent a respective one of converter switch states in an electric-motor control system. One embodiment modifies the reference voltage vector Vref as it approaches various voltage vectors and another modifies the reference voltage vector Vref when its magnitude is less than a predetermined magnitude.
