Asymmetric regular sampling SPWM method based on tangent-secant midpoint approximation applied to intermediate frequency inverter power supply

Abstract

ObjectiveIn order to reduce the switching frequency of an intermediate frequency inverter power supply, ensure the quality of the output waveform and realize digitalization easily, a SPWM sampling method based on a tangent-secant midpoint approximation is proposed. MethodsIt is proven by deduction that the quantitative relationship of the natural sampling method can be approximated, and a Matlab/Simulink simulation model is built. The algorithm is designed and applied to an intermediate frequency inverter device, and the correctness of the proposed method is verified in the two aspects of simulation and experiment. ResultsThe simulation results show that the total harmonic distortion (THD) of the output waveform based on the tangent-secant midpoint approximation method is 2.64%, lower than the 3.99% of the symmetrical regular sampling method. The waveform quality of the tangent-secant midpoint approximation method is obviously better than that of the symmetrical regular sampling method, as it not only reduces the switching frequency but also takes into account the requirements of THD. ConclusionsSPWM sampling based on tangent-secant midpoint approximation is applied to the intermediate frequency power supply and is able to effectively overcome the shortcomings of the low-quality output waveform and high switching frequency of the symmetrical regular sampling method. Both theoretical analysis and engineering practice verify the rationality and correctness of the proposed method, and it can be widely extended to the field of intermediate frequency power supply installation.
