THD Reduction in Multilevel Inverters Using Real-Time Algorithm
نویسنده
چکیده
Multilevel inverters have been widely applied industries. A family of optimal puisewidth modulation (PWM) methods for multilevel inverters, such as step modulation, can generate output voltage with less harmonic distortion than popular modulation strategies, such as the carrier-based sinusoidal PWM or the space vector PWM. However, some drawbacks limit the application of optimal PWM. One of such crucial drawback is that the optimal switching angles could not be calculated in real-time and one has to rely on lookup tables with precalculated angles. We propose a novel real-time algorithm for calculating switching angles that minimizes total harmonic distortion (THD) for step modulation. We give a mathematical proof that the output voltage has the minimum THD. We implemented the algorithm on a digital signal processor and provide experimental results that verify the performance of the proposed algorithm. Keywords—Multilevel inverter, optimal puisewidth modulation (PWM), power conversion, Total Harmonic Distortion (THD), Digital Signal Processing (DSP).
