In this paper, an immune algorithm (IA)-based dead-time elimination PWM control strategy is proposed. For existing dead-time elimination applications, one of the major problems is the dead-time control around the zero-current-crossing points. To deal with this problem, this paper proposes a different PWM control method which first restricts the control sequence to a specified level around the zero-crossing zone. Also, the proposed method can improve the current waveform quality by using the IA approach and three-level control strategy. Compared with conventional dead-time elimination methods, this technique has the features of simple hardware requirement and adaptive control. Moreover, this control strategy effectively eliminates the effect of dead-time, while at the same time significantly reducing the total harmonic distortion of output current and improving the amplitude of output RMS value in different modulation indexes and loads conditions. To verify the analysis, an experimental platform based on DSP and field-programmable gate array is built. The simulation and experimental results are given to demonstrate the effectiveness and feasibility of this new method.
