Switching Voltage Modeling and PWM Control in Multilevel Neutral-Point-Clamped Inverter under DC Voltage Imbalance

Abstract: This paper presents a novel switching voltage model and an offset-based pulse width modulation (PWM) scheme for multilevel inverters with unbalanced DC sources. The switching voltage model under a DC voltage imbalance will be formulated in general form for multilevel neutral-point-clamped topologies. Analysis of the reference switching voltages from active and non-active switching voltage components in abc coordinates can enable voltage implementation for an unbalanced DC-source condition. Offset voltage is in… Show more

“…These imbalanced voltages, which are represented by ripples in DC links, have a negative effect on output quality because they cause distorted output waveforms with low-frequency harmonics. This phenomenon can lead to the degradation of load performance [15], [16], [17]. When CPS-SPWM is employed in the study of the CPS angles of cascaded multi-level inverters, each unit adopts double frequency SPWM such that a PWM pulse generator becomes a requirement of each switching device.…”
