A space vector modulation (SVM) based hysteresis current controller (HCC) f
or the pulse width modulated rectifier is proposed. The proposed technique
utilises all the advantages of the HCC and SVM techniques. The controller d
etermines a set of space vectors from a region detector and applies a space
vector, selected according to the HCC. A set of space vectors, including t
he zero vector to reduce the number of switching, is determined from the ou
tput signals of three comparators. A simple hardware implementation is prop
osed, and experimental results of the SVM-based HCC are shown.
