Abetmct A concept of optimal surplus harmonies distribution in selective harmonic elimination PWM teehnique for multilevel inverters is introduced in this paper. There m e several performance indexes that fan he optimized in PWM inverters, e.g., distortion factor, current or voltage total harmonic distortion, or efficiency. Minimisation of magnetic noise is selected as an example here. Several ...

-Selective harmonic elimination/control (SHE) has been a widely researched alternative to traditional pulse-width modulation technique. It has been a research topic since the early 1960’s and developed into a mature form during the 1970’s. This report will discuss the generalized techniques of selective harmonic elimination developed in [1] during 1973. And work focus on simulating the results ...

Decomposition of information flow associated with random threshold network dynamics on random networks with specified degree distributions is studied by numerical simulation. Combinatorial Hodge theory enables us to orthogonally decompose information flow into gradient (unidirectional acyclic flow), harmonic (global circular flow) and curl (local circular flow) components. We show that in-degre...

Received Sep 19, 2017 Revised Dec 30, 2017 Accepted Jan 17, 2018 Penetration of multilevel inverters (MLI) in to high power and medium voltage application has been increasing because of its advantages. A conventional two level inverter has high harmonic distortion which gives poor power quality. Lot of topologies has been developed to overcome the drawbacks of two level inverter. These topologi...

Static synchronous compensators (STATCOMs) utilize multilevel converters due to the following: 1) lower harmonic injection into the power system; 2) decreased stress on the electronic components due to decreased voltages; and 3) lower switching losses. One disadvantage, however, is the increased likelihood of a switch failure due to the increased number of switches in a multilevel converter. A ...

Power electronic converters are becoming more and more popular for various industrial applications. To overcome the limitation of semiconductors current and voltage ratings in high power applications, series and parallel connection of switches is often considered an effective solution. In addition, stepped waveform in the output of inverter has better harmonic spectrum than 2-level waveform in ...

Ac–ac power conversion, the most popular topologies are indirect ac–ac converters with a dc link matrix converters and direct pulse width modulation (PWM) ac–ac converters. The indirect ac–ac converters and matrix converters can provide variable output voltage and variable frequency. However, for applications, where only voltage regulation is needed, the direct PWM ac–ac converters are used to ...
