Voltage pulsations in the DC bus may develop if the voltage-source inverter is fed from an unbalanced voltage supply. Negative effects on the connected electric machine and on the power grid usually result from such operation. It is possible to entirely eliminate or at least minimize such negative effects by suitable control of the active front end of the inverter. The control range of the active...
