Técnica de modulação para redução de DHT em inversor multinível com capacitor flutuante de três níveis

Abstract

Given the need to improve the existing technologies for electrical energy conversion into high power systems, this works purpose to design, analyze and implement a modulation technique that aims to reduce the output voltage harmonic content on the three-level flying capacitor multilevel inverter. Some of the various conventional modulation techniques (PSPWM, LSPWM, HE-PWM e CSV-PWM) have been analyzed and implemented in FPGA controller in order to compare their performance features with the proposed modulation technique. Furthermore, the losses study of the three-level flying capacitor multilevel inverter topology and the total harmonic distortion theoretical analysis of the proposed modulation technique have been made. Finally, the digital implementation of the techniques showed consistent results with experimentally obtained waveforms with high quality resolution. The comparison between the modulation strategies in the THD rates resulted positively for the proposed modulation, which THD experimental results in the line output voltage showed the best performance for all range of modulation indexes compared to techniques PSPWM, LSPWM-POD and CSV-PWM and the reduction of up to 4.5% better than HE-PWM. This proved the theoretical study done and its application in three-level flying capacitor multilevel inverter.
