Any arbitrary stator voltage vector can be produced from the eight standard vectors, which represent the eight possible logic states of a three phase voltage source inverter.

\(U_S\) is achieved by vectorial addition of the two boundary vectors \(U_L\) and \(U_R\) in the directions of the standard vectors. This is achieved by modulating the on/off time of the two closest standard vectors and/or the two zero-voltage vectors (\(U_0, U_7\)). E.g. for the example provided in figure Fig. 79, a modulation between \(U_1, U_2\) and \(U_0\)/ \(U_7\) is required. Depending on the location of \(U_S\), the boundary vectors can be directly calculated from the \(\alpha\) and \(\beta\) voltages.

Depending on the current sector and quadrant, the appropriate boundary vectors \(U_L\) and \(U_R\) will be calculated and converted into DutyCycles. The DutyCycles are limited with the Saturation function to 1, respectively 0.
