A new harmonic elimination PWM strategy for single-phase VSI and CSI invert
ers is presented which closely approximates the exact switching angles prod
uced offline for the harmonic elimination PWM (HEPWM) strategy. The new str
ategy is developed using well known regular-sampled techniques which enable
the calculation of the switching angles in real-time, allowing a simple an
d efficient digital signal processor implementation. Experimental and compu
ted results are presented in terms of total harmonic distortion and harmoni
c performance to highlight the advantages of the strategy and to confirm th
e theoretical experiments.
