description To meet the requirements of output harmonic distortion of neutral point clamped (NPC) three-level inverter under low switching frequency conditions, multi-mode synchronous space vector modulation is usually adopted. When switching between different pulse patterns, there will be oscillation in the output current. This paper proposes a smooth switching method for synchronous space vector modulation. This method compensates the phase angle of the reference voltage vector, in order to make the flux trajectories continuous before and after switching. Multi-position smooth switching can be realized in the fundamental period, and there is no delay in switching. Compared with direct switching, the total harmonic distortion rate of current during switching is reduced. The calculation of the phase angle compensation value of the reference voltage vector is not affected by the specific parameters and operating conditions of the motor, and can be carried out offline. Finally, experiments are carried out on a 7.5 kW induction motor fed by NPC three level inverter to verify the feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed method.
