  • Patent number: 9906162
    Abstract: A method is provided to control the output voltage across an unbalanced load connected to a three-phase inverter, The method includes transformation of a set of three-phase voltage signals to a dq-coordinate system. Based on the transformation, a set of d-axis and a set of q-axis positive, negative and a set of zero sequence signals are generated. The method includes phase shifting of each of the zero sequence signals to generate 120 degrees and 240 degrees phase shifted zero sequence signals. Each of the zero sequence signals, the 120 degrees and the 240 degrees phase shifted zero sequence signals are transformed to a set of d-axis and q-axis zero sequence signals. A set of error signals, calculated based on the set of d-axis and q-axis zero, positive and negative sequence signals, are minimized and transformed to abc-coordinate system to obtain a three-phase control voltage signal.
