The invention discloses a synchronous
carrier modulation method for a three-level
inverter, and the method comprises the steps: carrying out the
negation of a three-phase
sine wave, and injecting a specific offset, and obtaining three groups of three-phase initial modulation
waves; respectively selecting specific initial modulation
waves for three phases in different space angle regions to obtain three-phase actual modulation
waves; obtaining two groups of carriers with opposite initial directions by setting the triangular carrier frequency to be the even
number times of three of the fundamental
wave frequency; selecting specific initial direction carriers in different space angle areas to obtain actual carriers; and formulating a comparison rule of the actual modulation wave and the actual carrier wave, and obtaining a
control signal of the three-level
inverter based on comparison of the actual modulation wave and the actual carrier wave, thereby realizing synchronous carrier
wave modulation for reducing the common-mode
voltage. According to the method, the amplitude of the common-mode
voltage can be reduced by one half while
harmonic waves of multiple of three and even
harmonic waves in the line
voltage are eliminated, the change frequency of the common-mode voltage can be reduced by two thirds, and the method has the advantages of being simple in calculation and convenient to implement.
