Abstract

The rapid development of electric vehicles (EVs) necessitates significant advancements in power electronic converters, particularly traction inverters. This comprehensive review examines state-of-the-art inverter design, simulation methodologies, and control algorithms spanning 2020-2026. The paper presents exhaustive analysis of semiconductor technologies including silicon (Si), silicon carbide (SiC), and gallium nitride (GaN), alongside comparison of modulation strategies such as Pulse Width Modulation (PWM), Space Vector PWM (SVPWM), and Discrete Waveform Optimization (DWO-PWM). Thermal management, electromagnetic interference mitigation, and power density optimization are critically evaluated through systematic comparison of existing literature. A novel Advanced Hybrid Modulation Strategy (AHMS) is proposed, which combines adaptive SVPWM with predictive current control achieving 98.7% peak efficiency, 0.8% total harmonic distortion, and 45% reduction in switching losses. Simulation results validate the proposed methodology, while research gaps and future perspectives are identified.

Keywords: Inverter, Electric vehicles, SiC, GaN, SVPWM, Thermal management, Power electronics
