Abstract
A power conversion system having a DC power distribution bus includes multiple power converters connected to the DC power distribution bus with modulation frequencies synchronized so that providing phase shifts between the different modulations has the effect of compensating voltage and current ripples, e.g., reducing voltage fluctuations, across the DC bus. Power conversion may be controlled using space vector modulation implemented, for example, by any of a variety of pulse width modulation schemes. Phase shifts in which nulls of the modulation cycles of different converters do not overlap (in the time domain) may be particularly effective for DC bus voltage ripple compensation. The novel method for DC bus voltage ripple compensation may be implemented by programming a digital signal processor to control the power converters.
