| description | The increasing attention drawn on multilevel inverters particularly in medium
and high power applications has led to the enhanced efforts and initiatives to improve
the features and competitiveness of multilevel inverters. This research is part of such
efforts and initiatives, with the intended improvement is targeted at reducing circuit
complexity and cost. For this purpose, a new three-phase multilevel inverter topology
based on switch-sharing approach has been proposed in this research. The topology is
made up of three modules. Combination of Module 1 and Module 2 produces an
arrangement of the conventional full-bridge circuit with three bidirectional switches.
Module 3 comprises a string of bidirectional switches connected to DC sources. Here,
the switches operate in the optimized mode. In this way, the operation of each switch is
divided among the three phases. By adding one bidirectional switch in Module 3 of mlevel
structure, the (m + 1)-level structure is formed. A new modulation scheme based
on space vector concept with virtual vectors utilization has been developed for this
topology. By using the virtual vectors, the difficulty in decomposing the reference
vector in certain zones as a result of the elimination of several voltage vectors, can be
effectively overcome. A proportional integral (PI) controller equipped with a new
automatic tuning has been developed to deal with varying load conditions. A detailed
study of the proposed four-level and five-level inverters has been described. The
performance of the proposed inverter is analyzed through MATLAB/SIMULINK
simulation. The hardware prototype of the proposed multilevel inverter using digital
signal processors (DSPs) in implementing the proposed modulation and current control
algorithms has been developed for validation. |
