Power converters using deterministic switching frequency schemes have switching noise concentrated at harmonic frequencies, resulting in enhanced electromagnetic emission. To suppress the harmonic spikes in three-phase multilevel voltage source converters, a digital control scheme based on dithered sigma-delta modulation (SDM) is proposed in this paper. Introducing a dithered sequence in an SDM varies the switching frequency randomly, resulting in the suppression of the spurious harmonic spikes in the output spectrum even with a regular control input. Although the switching frequency varies randomly, the minimum pulsewidth of the proposed scheme is the sampling time period, avoiding the minimum pulsewidth problem. Instead of a conventional scalar quantizer, the quantizer in the proposed dithered sigma-delta converter uses the principle of space vector quantization. The proposed scheme is experimentally verified on a constant v/f open-loop induction motor drive for a three-level inverter realized by cascading two two-level inverters. The performance of the proposed scheme is compared with different pulsewidth modulation schemes in the entire modulation index, including the overmodulation region.
