| Abstract |
The electric range of an electric vehicle depends amongst others on the efficiency of electric components. This paper focuses on the efficiency of the inverter in one-phase operation. A comparison of three different PWM patterns is presented concerning their efforts to minimize the switching losses of the inverter and reducing the distortion of produced phase current. For one-phase systems, we show that an appropriate switching strategy will decrease the switching losses by up to 33\%. Furthermore, this strategy is able to reduce the distortion factor of phase current, as a quantity of signal quality, by up to 18\%. |
