A Single-Carrier-Based Pulse-Width Modulation Template for Cascaded H-Bridge Multilevel Inverters

Abstract

Multiplicity of the triangular carrier signals is a criterion for the extension of sinusoidal pulsewidth modulation, SPWM, to a number of output voltage levels per phase-leg in cascaded H-bridge (CHB) multilevel inverter (MLI). Considering medium and high voltage applications where appreciable number of output voltage levels from CHB MLI is needed, commensurate high number of carrier signals in either classical level- or phase-shifted SPWM scheme for this inverter is inevitable. High-quality output waveforms from CHB MLI system demands precise synchronization of these multi-carrier signals. Sampling issues, memory constraints and computational delays pose difficulties in achieving this synchronization for real-time digital implementation. This study presents a PWM template for CHB MLI. The developed control concept generates adequate modulation templates for CHB inverter wherein a sinusoidal modulating waveform is modified to fit in a single triangular carrier signal range. These templates can be used on CHB inverter of any level with no further control modification. Nearly even distribution of switching pulses, equal sharing of the overall real power among the constituting power switches and enhanced output voltage quality were achieved with the proposed modulation. For a 3-phase, 7-level CHB, simulation and experimental results, for an R-L load, were presented.
