 Author(s)   Michael Lindgren; Jan Svensson 
 Abstract   In PWM converters, the non-linearity caused by the blanking time depends on the direction of the phase current at the commutations. Previous principles for compensating for non-linearities have been based on the sign of the phase current at the sampling instants, and are not able to compensate if the phase current changes sign between the sampling instant and the commutations. At a low power level, such a change of sign occurs for a large part of the line period when PWM converters are connected to the grid. This paper describes a method to solve the problem by predicting the sign of the phase currents at the commutations. Experimental results are presented for a three-phase grid-connected PWM converter controlled by a discrete vector-current controller. The method makes the compensation possible also at low power levels and in systems with small line filters or low sampling frequencies.
