Comparative Study of SPWM and HEPWM Techniques for Photovoltaic Inverter

Abstract:

This paper presents an evaluation study of two pwm techniques applied to a three-phase voltage source inverter supplied by photovoltaic (PV) energy sources. A Pspice-based model of the pv array is developed and tested. The power and currant of the pv array versus the voltage is plotted. Then the pv array is connected to a basic three phase voltage source inverter VSI. Two control techniques are used. The first one is the classic sinusoidal pulse width modulation spwm, which is based on the comparison of two signals, the sinusoidal reference and a triangular carrier. The second one is based on the principle of harmonic elimination. The system is simulated using orcad-pspice, the results are given, discussed and compared based on different performance indices (output quality, thd, frequency).
