Real time PWM Controller

The series inverter must supply a series voltage with
appropriate magnitude and angle.
The inverter output voltages are functions of the dclink capacitor
voltages, which can be disturbed during line faults.
So instead of a pre-programmed pulse widthmodulator (PWM)
generator relying on the dc-link voltage nominal value,

The decoupled P-Q controller, the real-time generat

f PWM, ensure the dc-link voltage steadiness even u

he fault conditions.
