Pulse-Width-Modulation For A Modified Hybrid 2/3-Level Converter

This paper proposes a modification in both topology and operation algorithm for the existent 2/3 level converter. The modified strategy is of simple implementation. In addition, the modified topology reduces the switching losses and the command complexity. The harmonic distortion and losses of the t...

Descripción
Sumario:This paper proposes a modification in both topology and operation algorithm for the existent 2/3 level converter. The modified strategy is of simple implementation. In addition, the modified topology reduces the switching losses and the command complexity. The harmonic distortion and losses of the two- level converter, the three-level Neutral-Point-Clamped (NPC) converter and the 2/3-level converter are compared. Also the limitation of the modified topology operation is investigated. Simulated and experimental results demonstrate the validity of the proposed topology and pulsewidth modulation method.
