The pulse width modulated power inverters have been increasingly using to convert DC power to AC power in small wind plants. When these inverters are used for power conversion, the integrated output voltage waveform is inevitably distorted. Although increasing the switching frequency is one choice to achieve the smoother output voltage, it adds extra harmonics to the output. There are various techniques such as analogue filtering, harmonic elimination etc. to reduce the number of harmonics usually affecting the system performance. In this study, a simple but efficient modulation approach based on the optimization of the shape of the triangular voltage waveform is proposed. The results have shown that the total harmonic distortion of the optimized voltage waveform decreases gradually and thus helps improve on the power quality during the conversion.
