Abstract


The inverter configurations with higher number of output voltage levels have the ability to modulate waveforms with a better harmonic spectrum. A Three phase cascaded multilevel inverter which uses five-level transistor clamped H-bridge power cells is presented. In this, Multi Carrier Phase Shifted Pulse Width Modulation technique is applied for the balanced power distribution among the power cells. This PWM technique is applied for both Sine PWM and Space Vector PWM. The output voltage harmonics and the motor current harmonics are observed and compared for both techniques. The proposed inverter is simulated under MATLAB/Simulink environment on an induction motor model. From the results, the proposed inverter provides higher output quality with less harmonic distortion as compared to the other conventional inverters.
