This paper presents a comparison between two modern modulation techniques applied to three phase inverters from a hardware implementation point of view. The considered techniques are the sinusoidal pulse width modulation with zero sequence injection and the space vector modulation. Both these techniques conduct to the same result regarding supply voltage usage efficiency and harmonic content of...

Multilevel inverters have become more popular over the years in electric high power application with the promise of less disturbances and the possibility to function at lower switching frequencies than ordinary two-level inverters. Multilevel inverters has been introduced as static high-power inverters for medium to high voltage applications such as large electric drives, reactive power compens...

This paper presents the comparative study of three phase twenty five level diode clamped and cascaded H-bridge multilevel inverters. The comparison is made in respect of requirement of devices, quality of output voltage and reduction of total harmonic distortion at the multilevel inverter terminals. In this work multicarrier sinusoidal pulse modulation control methods of Phase disposition (PD-P...

The use of multilevel inverters is widespread in medium voltage applications due to their inherent voltage sharing among the devices. This work proposes three phase five level Flying Capacitor Multilevel Inverter (FCMLI) using various modulating techniques for induction motor load. These Pulse Width Modulating (PWM) techniques include Carrier Overlapping (CO) strategy, Variable Frequency (VF) s...

This paper presents a novel control method to improve the efficiency of low-voltage DC-DC converters at light loads. Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) converters have poor efficiencies at light loads, while pulse frequency modulation (PFM) control is more efficient for the same cases. Switching losses constitute a major portion of the total power loss at light loads. To decrease the switching losses...

Wind turbines with double output induction generators can operate at variable speed permitting conversion efficiency maximization over a wide range of wind velocities.

This paper proposes five level diode clamped Z source Inverter. The existing PWM techniques used for ZSI are restricted for two level. The two level Z Source Inverter have high harmonic distortions which effects the performance of the grid connected PV system. To improve the performance of the system the number of voltage levels in the output waveform need to be increased. This paper presents c...

This paper analyzes the mechanism of the fast response characteristic of a magnetically controlled reactor and response characteristic of magnetically controlled reactor in semi-limit saturated. A model of fast response is established based on pulse width modulation technology, and the simulation analysis is completed. The simulation results show that the response speed of magnetically controll...
