1 Introduction
Con vent ion al'three-phase voltage source
inverter (VSI) is now widely used in industrial and
from dc to ac This scheme is particularly applied in
the electric motor drive systems and renewable
energy systems such as photovoltaic, fuel-cell
conversion systems The recent study on improving
the efficiency of three-phase inverters is based on the
scheme and control method for generating pulse
pattems become more complex and it is difficult to
be implemented for the existmg VSI [1,2],
Recently, many research papers have been
published for single phase VSI scheme for
transformerless grid connected system
The efficiency improvement is based on the
principle of ac or dc decoupling, when the zero state
on the H-bndge with a ac bypass circuit consisting of
a bidirectional switch (HERIC topology) [3] or a
diode rectifier and a switch with clamping to the dc
midpoint (HB-2VR topology) [4], are proposed In
case of dc decoupling cfrcuit, some topologies are
invented, which consists one extra switch (H5
topology) [5] or two extra switches (H6 topology)
[6,7] High conversion efficiency in these schemes is
obtained
In order to mcrease the efficiency, the
researchers usually pay attention to the use of
multi-' Conesponding Author, Tel; (-I-84) 903.657 486
level principles [8,9] This leads to a change in configuration and availability of PWM methods such
as space vector PWM of the we 11-developed three phase two-level inverter
This paper analyses the topology of high efficient three-phase VSI (HE-VSI3), which consists
of six fraditional switches for converting power and three bidirectional free-wheeling switches for creatmg the ac decoupling circuit (Fig I) In this topology, the DC common point is separated from the gnd neutral point or common point of stand-alone three-phase load The modified SVPWM algorithm is developed for this topology
This topology has the advantages such as the ability of improving the efficiency based on the principle of decoupling, the ability of applying to the conventional VSI scheme, the possibility of implementing the Space Vector PWM algorithm So,
it can he applied to many industrial field widely

- The application of electrical energy
conversion from DC to AC:
• for providing the ac voltage with variable
frequency and variable effective value to the load
filter (Fig 1)
• for providing the ac voltage with fixed
frequency and effective value to the load (such as
RL) with the output LCL filter for obtaining the tme
sinusoidal wave, (Fig 2)
- Photovoltaic panels three-phase
grid-connected applications with an isolation LV
transformer (Fig 3) Almost the network
configurations are divided mto two groups: with
galvanic isolated fransformer and transformerless
The grid connected configuration with isolated
fransformer has advantages such as safety, no leakage
cunent, and no dc cunent injection In contrast,
fransformerless topology has higher efficiency, but it
has more complex control algorithms and some
related issues such as leakage cunent and dc current
injection into the grid
2 Modified he-vsi topology
2.1 Structure and principle of the High Efficient
VSI3
Modified topology, called the High Efficient
Voltage Source Inverter (HE-VSI3), uses a modified
version of the three-phase bridge VSI, by adding an
ac-decoupling circuit, which composes of three exfra
bidirectional switches as shown in Fig I DC
common point is separated from grid or load common
point and the common point of bidirectional switches
The purpose of the HE-VS13 scheme is the
zero space vector occurs (S1, S3, S5 or S2 S6 are
m on-state in conventional VSI scheme), i lie output current of the modified configuration flow.-, in a path with ac decoupling circuit via three extra fi^ewheeling switches (SSI-SS3) and therefore the
of switches Si-Sft are reduced, i.e increasing the efficiency of inverter
The filter parameter (Table I) is calculated using the method which is shown in [9]

2.2 Modified Space Vector PWM algorithm for the High Efficient VSIS
The space vector modulation is based on the formation of three voltage vectors in sequence in one sampling interval Ts so that the average output voltage meets the requirement The calculations of the switching states in VSI are as follows for /i Ts [11]:
t = — M r s i n i r / 3
- T / 2 - f _ -t^
•R MT sin Q ;
(4) where: t, • duration for vector V„ i^ -duration for vector Vy, 1^ - duration for vector Vi, M - the index
of modulation M = VVV,™ (V" - amplitude of the required voltage vector, V,.„ - peak value of six step voltage)
Fig 4 shows the space vectors ii the modified
Trang 3The algorithm of modified space vector PWM
is proposed in Fig 5 The switchmg process of
modified algonthm when the zero voltage occurs and
finishes in sector 1 is shown in Fig 6 The difference
is when the zero space vector occurs, in the modified
topology (HE-VS13), all switches SSI, SS2 and SS3
are mm on and all SI, S2, S3, S4, S5 and S6 are frim
off with the inserted blank time (DT! - Dead time
interval) between complementary switches This way,
using SSI - SS3 as shown m Fig.l, the zero-voltage
of the inverter, during which period the DC-lmk is
separated from die load or the grid, because all S1-S6
are turned off
This modified SVPWM is very simple and
easily to implement by using DSP or FPGA
confroller for generating pulse pattems
