Abstract- Sinusoidal pulse width modulation (SPWM) is a technique in power electronics for generating high-quality sinusoidal waveforms with reduced harmonic content. This paper presents an extensive review and performance analysis of SPWM inverters, focusing on their characteristics and challenges across various applications. The review begins with an overview of principles of SPWM, highlighting its ability to generate sinusoidal waveforms by modulating the width of the pulses in the PWM waveform. The advantages of SPWM which includes low harmonic distortion, high efficiency, and improved voltage regulation, are discussed in detail, highlighting its suitability for the use of motor drives, renewable energy systems, and grid- connected inverters. Performance metrics such as Total Harmonic Distortion (THD), modulation index, output voltage regulation, and efficiency are analysed to assess the effectiveness of SPWM inverters. In conclusion, this comprehensive review and performance analysis provide valuable insights into the design, implementation, and optimization of SPWM inverters, facilitating their widespread adoption and deployment in various power electronics applications.
