In order to suppress the leakage current of the active neutral point clamed five-level (ANPC-5L) inverter, this paper proposes a novel low common-mode voltage (CMV) modulation strategy based on the space vector modulation thought. Only the 55 voltage vectors with low CMV amplitude instead of all 125 voltage vectors are utilized. The CMV amplitude is suppressed to one-twelfth of the DC bus voltage (Vdc). In the simplified five-level space vector diagram, “obtuse triangle” synthesis principle is used to control the CMV changes twice in each carrier cycle, and get lower output current total harmonic distortion (THD). According to the vector thought, a carrier implementation method based on zero sequence voltage injection and carrier splitting is proposed. This method simplifies the calculation and is easy to implement.Simulation results prove the correctness and feasibility of this low CMV modulation strategy.

This paper elucidates a comparative analysis of hysteresis current control space vector modulation (HCC-SVM) and 3-dimensional space vector modulation (3D-SVM) for control of 3-level neutral point clamped (NPC) inverter. The NPC inverter topology is much suitable for single input applications and medium and high power applications. The detailed comparative analysis of total harmonic distortion (THD) for both modulation control strategies is analyzed. Among various modulation strategies, these two control strategies increased more attention due to the improved output compared to the other conventional methods. The simulation and hardware results are evident that 3D-SVM is the most efficient controller for capacitor balancing, common mode voltage minimization, THD minimization and attain low voltage stress across switch, but in terms of system design and complexity in switching time calculation is simple in the HCC-SVM method. The simulation and hardware results are verified using simulink and FPGA processor, respectively.

The grid-connected inverters required for distributed generation systems should have high reliability. However, a shoot-through problem, which is a major killer of the reliability of the inverters, exists in the conventional bridge-type voltage-source inverters. In order to solve the aforementioned problem, a non-isolated buck-boost grid-connected inverter with no shoot-through problem is proposed. The hysteresis current control is used. The output voltage of the proposed grid-connected inverter can be larger or lower than the input voltage. The operating principle is illustrated. Simulation verifies the theoretical analysis.

The purpose of this study is to analyze the operation and design of symmetrical and asymmetrical multilevel inverter structures with reduced number of switching devices. In this study, the term of conventional inverter is defined as a single cascaded inverter. Specifically, the inverter operates in three complete loops and only produces 2-level and 3-level of output voltages. Usually, cascaded structure suffers from the high total harmonic distortion. Thus, by considering multilevel structure of inverter, low total harmonic distortion reduction and voltage stress reduction on switching devices can be archived. Sinusoidal pulse width modulation and modified square pulse width modulation are used as modulation techniques in switching schemes of the designed multilevel inverters. The findings indicate that, the designed multilevel structure cause low total harmonics distortion at the output voltage. Furthermore, the asymmetrical structure is producing the same output voltage levels with reduced number of switching devices compared to the symmetrical structure is experimentally confirmed. The findings show that the total harmonic distortion for 7-level (symmetrical) and 9-level (asymmetrical) are 16.45% and 15.22%, respectively.

The availability of fossil as fuel in conventional power plants is running low. This causes the use of renewable energy such as photovoltaic (PV) technology becomes very important. PV systems required inverters for converting DC voltage into AC voltage, where the quality of the inverter output current is very influential on the quality of power. Therefore, it is necessary to control the inverter current output which serves to improve the system response and minimize the current harmonics. In this research, a H-Bridge type of one phase Inverter is designed using 16-bit DSPIC30F4011 microcontroller with current control proportional resonant method. The inverter output current is fedback by the ACS712-05B current sensor. The test is carried out with the reference current range of 1 - 3 A on the load variation 7 Ω and 12 Ω. The test results show the actual current waveform of the inverter output is able to follow the reference current changes. Inductor value that not suitable and the effect of switching cause the ripple is still happening. The higher the output voltage of the inverter will result in the total current harmonic distortion becoming smaller.

Inverter Topology

In this paper, a twelve-band hysteresis control is applied to a recent thirteen-level asymmetrical inverter topology by employing a robust proportional-integral (PI) controller whose parameters are decided online by genetic algorithm (GA). The asymmetrical inverter topology can generate thirteen levels of output voltage incorporating only ten switches and exhibits boosting capability. A 12-band hysteresis current control strategy is applied to ensure the satisfactory operation of the inverter. It is designed to provide a sinusoidal line current at the unity power factor. The tuning of the PI controller is achieved by a nature inspired GA. Comparative analysis of the results obtained after application of the GA and the conventional Ziegler–Nichols method is also performed. The efficacy of the proposed control on WE topology is substantiated in the MATLAB Simulink environment and was further validated through experimental/real-time implementation using DSC TMS320F28379D and Typhoon HIL real-time emulator (Typhoon-HIL-402).

Switching converters are used in electric drive applications to produce variable voltage, variable frequency supply which generates harmful large dv/dt and high-frequency common mode voltages (CMV). Multilevel inverters generate lower CMV as compared to conventional two-level inverters. This paper presents simple carrier-based technique to control the common mode voltages in multilevel inverters using different structures of sine-triangle comparison method such as phase disposition (PD), phase opposition disposition (POD) by adding common mode voltage offset signal to actual reference voltage signal. This paper also presented the method to optimize the magnitude of this offset signal to reduce CMV and total harmonic distortion in inverter output voltage. The presented techniques give comparable performance as obtained in complex space vector-based control strategy, in terms of number of commutations, magnitude, and rate of change of CMV and harmonic profile of inverter output voltage. Simulation and experimental results presented confirm the effectiveness of the proposed techniques to control the common mode voltages.
