Sinusoidal pulse width modulation (SPWM) technique has been widely used in inverters and motor driver ciruits. In this paper, SPWM was generated by a low cost HT66F50 single-chip, wherein the reduced sampling points of a sine wave, and the fewer sampling points were then used to produce SPWM singals. The full-bridge inverter was modulated by the high switching frequency SPWM for the high side switches and the 60Hz control signals for the low side switches. Thus, it not only reduces the required memory spacein MCU, but also reduces the switching power losses. When the SPWM frequency is 19.53 kHz or 11.72 kHz, the total harmonic distortion (THD) of the inverter’s output is less than 0.6% under the load resistance 50, which is in compliance with the specification of IEEE STD. 519-1992.

<p>Penetration of multilevel inverters (MLI) in to high power and medium voltage application has been increasing because of its advantages. The conventional two levels inverter has high harmonic distortion which gives poor power quality. Lot of topologies has been developed to overcome the drawbacks of a two level inverter. These topologies include more number of switching devices which increases the design complexity and cost.

A modular multilevel converter (MMC) is an advanced voltage source converter applicable to a wide range of medium and high-voltage applications. It has competitive advantages such as quality output performance, high modularity, simple scalability, and low voltage and current rating demand for the power switches. Remarkable studies have been carried out regarding its topology, control, and operation. The main purpose of this review is to present the current state of the art of the MMC technology and to offer a better understanding of its operation and control for stationary applications. In this study, the MMC configuration is presented regarding its conventional and advanced submodule (SM) and overall topologies. The mathematical modeling, output voltage, and current control under different grid conditions, submodule balancing control, circulating current control, and modulation methods are discussed to provide the state of the MMC technology. The challenges linked to the MMC are associated with submodule balancing control, circulating current control, control complexity, and transient performance. Advanced nonlinear and predictable control strategies are expected to improve the MMC control and performance in comparison with conventional control methods. Finally, the power losses associated with the advanced wide bandgap (WBG) power devices (such as SiC, GaN) are explored by using different modulation schemes and switching frequencies. The results indicate that although the phase-shifted carrier-based pulse width modulation (PSC-PWM) has higher power losses, it outputs a better quality voltage with lower total harmonic distortion (THD) in comparison with phase-disposition pulse width modulation (PD-PWM) and sampled average modulation pulse width modulation (SAM-PWM). In addition, WBG switches such as silicon carbide (SiC) and gallium nitride (GaN) devices have lower power losses and higher efficiency, especially at high switching frequency in the MMC applications.

A high-frequency link (HFL) three-phase four-leg matrix converter (MC) can output three-phase balanced voltage for unbalanced load conditions. It is an inverter with great development potential. This paper presents a hybrid pulse width modulation (HPWM) strategy for a four-wire matrix converter based on the fourth bridge leg compensation method. Firstly, the rear-stage topology of a high-frequency link three-phase four-leg matrix converter is decoupled into two sets of ordinary three-phase four-wire inverters. Then the compensation strategy is applied to separate the fourth bridge leg from the coupling of the ordinary inverter and realize its independent control. Under the theory of compensation, the fourth bridge leg plays a role in compensating the deviation of the neutral point potential when the load is unbalanced, the fourth bridge leg does not need to work when the load is balanced. Finally, the fourth bridge leg modulation wave obtained by the compensation method is combined with the front three bridge leg modulation waves to perform the coupling control using the hybrid pulse width modulation strategy. It has changed the problem that the previous hybrid pulse width modulation strategy cannot be directly applied to the four-wire matrix converter. This strategy is simple to control, without adding any auxiliary commutation detection circuitry, can effectively solve the inherent commutation problem in the bidirectional switch tube of the four-wire matrix converter. It simplifies the complexity of the system, reduced control cost, and high switching loss caused by high switching frequency. The fast adjustment function of compensation strategy makes the dynamic response performance of system under load fluctuation state more prominent, the harmonic distortion rate is smaller. The perfect combination of two strategies allows the high-frequency link three-phase four-leg matrix converter with any form of load to give full play to its structural advantages. The related work verifies the feasibility and effectiveness of the modulation method and control logic.

Current Harmonics

The pulse width modulated voltage source inverters (PWM-VSI) dominate in the modern industrial environment. The conventional PWM methods are designed to have higher fundamental voltage, easy filtering and reduced total harmonic distortion (THD). There are number of clustered harmonics around the multiples of switching frequency in the output of conventional sinusoidal pulse width modulation (SPWM) and space vector pulse width modulation (SVPWM) inverters. This is due to their fixed switching frequency while the variable switching frequency makes the filtering very complex. Random carrier PWM (RCPWM) methods are the host of PWM methods, which use randomized carrier frequency and result in a harmonic profile with well distributed harmonic power (no harmonic possesses significant magnitude and hence no filtering is required). This paper proposes a chaos-based PWM (CPWM) strategy, which utilizes a chaotically changing switching frequency to spread the harmonics continuously to a wideband and to reduce the peak harmonics to a great extent. This can be an effective way to suppress the current harmonics and torque ripple in induction motor drives. The proposed CPWM scheme is simulated using MATLAB / SIMULINK software and implemented in three phase voltage source inverter (VSI) using field programmable gate array (FPGA).

The dead-time is necessary to be inserted between the gates drive pulses of the two power electronic switches in a one leg of any inverter to avoid a short circuit in the leg and the DC supply as well. However, adding the dead-time increases the low order harmonics of the output voltage/current waveform of the inverter. This paper investigates the positive effects of decreasing the pulse width modulation (PWM) drive pulses number per fundamental period on the current low order harmonics. In addition, this paper evaluates the impact of the confined band variable switching frequency pulse width modulation (CB-VSFPWM) technique on inverter performance in terms of dead-time mitigating, and consequenctely lowering the low order harmonics. CB-VSFPWM technique reduces the total harmonic distortion (THD) levels in the inverter output current as well. Theoretical analysis of the CB-VSFPWM effectiveness in reducing the negative effect of the dead-time has explained in this study and confirmed by the MATLAB/Simulink simulation results.

<span>This paper presents a proposed modified pulse width modulation – low frequency triangular (MPWM-LFT) switching strategy for minimization of voltage THD with implementation of asymmetric multilevel inverter (AMLI) topology on the reduced number of switching devices (RNSD) circuit structure. Principally, MPWM-LFT able to produce optimum angle of the output voltage level in order to minimize total harmonic distortion (THD). In this study, 5-level reduced number of switching devices circuit structure is selected as a circuit configuration for asymmetric (7-level structure) multilevel inverter. For switching strategy, MPWM used low switching frequency in producing signal and needs higher output voltage levels to achieve low total harmonic distortion. In contrast, sinusoidal pulse width modulation used high switching frequency in order to minimize total harmonic distortion. By optimizing angle at the output voltage using MPWM-LFT switching strategy, the voltage THD is lower as compared to MPWM and SPWM switching strategies. MPWM-LFT switching strategy obtains 11.6% of voltage THD for the 7-level asymmetric topology as compared to MPWM and SPWM switching strategies with the voltage THD are 21.5% and 17.5% respectively from the experimental works.</span>
