Description

The SVPWM Generator (3-Level) generates pulses for three-phase three-level Neutral-Point-Clamped (NPC) converters. The block generates twelve pulses using the space vector pulse width modulation (SVPWM) technique.

The neutral-point voltage deviation is controlled by a proportional regulator using two DC voltages, as well as the DC current flowing in or out of the DC link. The defining equation is

Vout=m⋅Vdc2,

where:

  • Vout is the line-to-line rms voltage generated by the NPC.

  • m is the modulation index and 0 < m < 1.

  • Vdc is the DC current flowing in or out of the DC link.

Dependencies

Setting this parameter to:

  • Three-phase signals exposes the Vabc_ref port, hides the Reference vector [ Mag (0<m<1), Phase (degrees), Freq (Hz) ] parameter, and hides the |Vref|∠Vref, Vα Vβ ref, and X (internal) ports.

  • Magnitude-Angle (rad) exposes the |Vref|∠Vref port, hides the Reference vector [ Mag (0<m<1), Phase (degrees), Freq (Hz) ] parameter, and hides the Vabc_ref, Vα Vβ ref, and X (internal) ports.

  • alpha-beta components exposes the Vα Vβ ref port, hides the Reference vector [ Mag (0<m<1), Phase (degrees), Freq (Hz) ] parameter, and hides the Vabc_ref, |Vref|∠Vref, and X (internal) ports.

  • Internally generated exposes the Reference vector [ Mag (0<m<1), Phase (degrees), Freq (Hz) ] parameter and the X (internal) port and hides the Vabc_ref, |Vref|∠Vref, and Vα Vβ ref ports.
