This invention relates to a VSCF system for aircraft power generation having a DC source, the DC source producing a substantially constant voltage DC signal. An inverter is coupled to the DC source and receives the DC signal, applying a PWM pattern of switching transients to the DC signal to produce an AC signal from the DC signal. The subject invention contemplates the addition of a feedback circuit which comprises a transformer providing an inductive coupling between the AC signal at a point of regulation and the DC signal at a point between the DC source and the inverter to eliminate short duration switching transients in the PWM pattern. Modulation of the DC signal allows short duration switching transients in the PWM pattern to be lengthened, thereby avoiding physical minimum time switching limitations in the switches of the inverter. Feedback of the AC signal allows inverter frequency to be changed while maintaining synchronization between the DC signal modulation and PWM pattern fed to the inverter.

A method of modeling a response of an inverter having a pair of switches which are alternately operated to alternately connect first and second voltages to an inverter output to develop an inverter output voltage includes the steps of assuming the inverter output voltage is substantially at or between the first and second voltages during a dwell interval and modeling the inverter response based upon such assumption. The modeling may be used as part of a control strategy for an inverter wherein output harmonic content is minimized.

This invention relates to a VSCF system for aircraft power generation having a DC source, the DC source producing a substantially constant voltage DC signal. An inverter is coupled to the DC source and receives the DC signal, applying a PWM pattern of switching transients to the DC signal to produce an AC signal from the DC signal. The subject invention contemplates the addition of a DC link modulator comprising a ripple generator which varies the voltage of the DC signal to eliminate short duration switching transients in the PWM pattern. Variation of the DC signal allows short duration switching transients in the PWM pattern to be lengthened, thereby avoiding physical minimum time switching limitations in the switches of the inverter. In the preferred embodiment of the invention, an inverter controller provides a synchronizing signal to the ripple generator, which is coupled to a point between the DC source and the inverter.

This invention relates to a VSCF system for aircraft power generation having a DC source, the DC source producing a DC signal. An inverter is coupled to the DC source and produces a constant frequency AC signal from the DC signal. It is known that, in converting the DC signal to the AC signal, the inverter distorts the DC signal, producing harmonic content therein. Accordingly, an inverter controller is provided which analytically determines distortion of the DC signal due to inverter action and alters PWM patterns fed to the inverter to precompensate for harmonic content in the DC signal.

The present invention measures the Fourier coefficients of each controlled harmonic in a signal beginning in a present cycle of the fundamental frequency with a switching angle corresponding to each controlled harmonic and predicts what these Fourier coefficients will be before the occurrence of a corresponding switching angle in a subsequent cycle. The present invention also predicts what these Fourier coefficients would be if the corresponding switching angle in the subsequent cycle is varied. Each switching angle is then varied in the subsequent cycle only if the associated harmonic would be improved thereby; otherwise, that switching angle in not varied in the subsequent cycle.
