SPWM Simulation Model

The SPWM (Sinusoidal Pulse Width Modulation) simulation model serves as a critical tool in power electronics and motor control applications, playing an essential role particularly in Direct Torque Control (DTC) systems. SPWM technology approximates sinusoidal waveforms by modulating pulse widths, enabling efficient power conversion and precise motor control. In implementation, this typically involves generating carrier signals (triangular waves) and comparing them with reference sinusoidal waves to produce PWM signals with varying duty cycles.

Within Direct Torque Control systems, SPWM techniques facilitate rapid adjustment of motor torque and flux linkage, achieving dynamic response and high-performance control. The simulation model allows engineers to validate algorithms and designs before physical hardware implementation, ensuring system stability and performance compliance. Key implementation aspects include torque hysteresis controllers, flux comparators, and switching table logic that determines optimal inverter switching states based on torque and flux error signals.

This simulation model has undergone rigorous testing and demonstrates successful operation, confirming correct logical design and appropriate parameter configuration. The model provides a reliable theoretical and simulation foundation for subsequent practical motor drive applications, significantly reducing development cycles and debugging risks. Implementation typically involves MATLAB/Simulink blocks for signal generation, comparator operations, and gate drive signal processing, with parameter tuning focusing on carrier frequency selection and modulation index optimization.
