“…Over the past twenty years, many PWM algorithms have been developed for multilevel inverters, including sine PWM (SPWM) [4,5], virtual space-vector PWM (SVPWM) [6,7], selective harmonic elimination PWM [8,9], SVPWM [10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18], PWM without common mode voltage [19,20], and PWM with minimal switch loss [21,22]. Of all these PWM algorithms, SVPWM is considered the most attractive because of the following merits: three-phase voltages, which can be generated by the inverter, are transformed into a reference voltage vector, whereas the angle and amplitude of the reference vector are used to calculate the on-time of each voltage vector.…”
