Waveform compensation of PWM inverter with cyclic fluctuating loads

A repetitive voltage compensation technique that generates a high-quality sinusoidal output voltage from a single-phase pulse width modulation (PWM) inverter used for uninterruptible power supplies is described. A repetitive control technique eliminates the steady-state error in the distorted output voltage caused by cyclic loads. The proposed PWM inverter system uses microprocessor-based closed-loop digital feedback with a sinusoidal reference. The PWM pattern is determined at every sampling instant by the proposed algorithm, implemented by a microprocessor using a set of detected output voltages and the reference signals through one cycle. The system has low distortion and very fast response for AC phase-controlled loads
