Abstract

Independent phase output voltage control for a 3-phase 4-wire DC/AC inverter, for example, is provided. With the independent phase output voltage control, all three phase output voltages from the DC/AC inverter can be separately and effectively controlled to provide balanced 3-phase voltages from the DC/AC inverter to an unbalanced load, and/or to provide unbalanced 3-phase voltages from the DC/AC inverter to a balanced or unbalanced load. The independent phase output voltage control method can be applied to an inverter power system, with outputs of N-phase (N+1) wire configurations. Here, N can be any integer number greater than zero.
