RESUMO
This paper presents a new energy-efficient space vector pulse width modulation (SVPWM) for controlling the switches of a New three-phase inverter (NTPI) for photovoltaic (PV) applications to reduce switching losses, the peak value, and the dv/dt of the common mode voltage (CMV) with fewer number of switches. The proposed system offers a reliable operation in PV energy system with less leakage current and increased efficiency because of the reduction of the CMV, the source of leakage current in PV inverter-based application. Moreover, this also optimizes the operation of electric vehicle application with lower bearing failure. The performance of the proposed system with the new SVPWM is evaluated to the existing PWM in the literature, as well as the active zero state pulse width modulation (AZSPWM) of the two-level inverter introduced under identical conditions. Experiments and MATLAB simulations have both been used in this study.
