5 Vectorial Pulse Width Modulation for Basic Three-Phase Inverters Previous chapters have explained the need for pulse width modulation (PWM) control of three-phase converters and presented some conventional methods that generate PWM on each phase independently. Some limitations in its practical implementation have stimulated efforts to find other principles to generate PWM controls. The most remarkable is the analysis of the three-phase inverter in the complex plane by the Vector Space theory. Understanding the mathematical rep- resentation of the inverter operation in the complex plane provided a tool for the generation of a new PWM algorithm called Space Vector Modulation (SVM). (Note the difference between a vector space, which means a space of vectors, and a space vector, which means a vector with a spatial displacement.) SVM has become a standard for medium- and high-power switching converters in both industry and university. The last 20 years have provided a large volume of publications that fully define SVM theory. Implementation on different digital plat- forms has been considered and some dedicated integrated circuits have already been developed on the basis of this principle. The SVM theory initially developed for three-phase voltage-source inverters has been extended with new applications to other three-phase topologies. Such methods will be presented in later chapters. 5.1 REVIEW OF SPACE VECTOR THEORY 5.1.1 HISTORY AND EVOLUTION OF THE CONCEPT The first vectorial representation of three-phase systems was introduced by Park [1], Kron [2], and Stanley [3]. They showed the separation of effects on
