In this paper, a 7-level Diode Clamped Multilevel Inverter (DCMLI) is simulated with three different carrier PWM techniques. Here, Carrier based Sinusoidal Pulse Width Modulation (SPWM), Third Harmonic Injected Pulse Width Modulation (THIPWM) and Modified Carrier-Based Space Vector Pulse Width Modulation (SVPWM) are used as modulation strategies. These modulation strategies include Phase Dispos...

Common-mode voltage (CMV) generated by the inverter causes motor bearing failures in multiphase drives.On the other hand, presence of undesired z-component currents in six-phase induction machine (SPIM) leads to extra current losses and have to be considered in pulse width modulation (PWM) techniques. In this paper, it is shown that the presence of z-component currents and CMV in six phase driv...

The main purpose of pulse-width –modulation technique for power inverters is to control the output voltage.

In this paper, various novel pulse width modulation techniques are proposed, which can minimize the total harmonic distortion and enhances the output voltages from five level inverter to multilevel topologies.

This paper analyzes the way to increase the energy efficiency of three phase converters applied to control AC motor drives, through the reduction of the total harmonic distortion (THD) of the output voltage and the reduction in the switching losses in the PWM inverter. The aim is to develop a system which selects the most adequate modulation technique required to simultaneously optimize the har...

Inverters inherently have the property of controlling output frequency but the output voltage can’t be varied. Usually to vary output voltage we have to vary supply voltage which is not always possible for this reason PWM techniques gained momentum. Basic aim of PWM technique is to control output voltage and harmonic reduction. Pulse-width modulation (PWM), or pulseduration modulation (PDM), is...
