In general Pulse width modulation (PWM) techniques of a voltage source inverter (VSI) need a sinusoidal reference signal and triangular carrier signal to generate the required modulating signals for the desired output. Modifications in modulating techniques can be considered in two ways, namely modified reference and modified carrier. The existing multilevel carrier based pulse width modulation...

Inverters inherently have the property of controlling output frequency but the output voltage can’t be varied. Usually to vary output voltage we have to vary supply voltage which is not always possible for this reason PWM techniques gained momentum. Basic aim of PWM technique is to control output voltage and harmonic reduction. Pulse-width modulation (PWM), or pulseduration modulation (PDM), is...

This paper proposes a new scheme Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) to overcome low performances of conventional PWM control strategy in Cascaded Multilevel Inverter (ACMLI). This scheme advance conventional Carrier-Based PWM (CBPWM) using triangle carrier in different amplitudes. By this scheme ACMLI can control by PWM that according to dc voltage amplitude used and finally the Total Harmonics Disto...

In this paper comparative study of proposed hybrid multilevel inverter (HMI) operating in modified pulse width modulation (PWM) mode with cascaded H-bridge multilevel inverter (CHMI) is done. Two types of HMIs are proposed with same configuration. To control the two HMIs, modified PWM techniques are derived from sinusoidal pulse width modulation (SPWM) to reduce the switching losses in the inve...

Soft Switcing techniques have recently been applied in the design of dc-ac converters, in order to achive better performance, higher efficiency, and power density. One of the soft switching techniques uesd in inverters is resonant dc links. These topologies have some disadvantages such as irregular current peaks, large voltage peaks, uncotrollble pulse width, etc. Another soft switching method ...

Continuousand discrete-time switching audio power amplifiers are studied both with and without feedback. Pulse-width modulation (PWM) and sigma–delta modulation (SDM) amplifier configurations are simulated and their interrelationship is described using linear phase modulation (LPM) and linear frequency modulation (LFM). Distortion generation encountered when applying negative feedback to PWM is...

In order to achieve the transformation of electrical energy in Variable Speed Constant Frequency (VSCF) Wind Power Generation System (WPGS), a novel Space Vector Pulse Width Modulation (SVPWM) pulse trigger technology applied in high efficient PWM rectifier is proposed.

 The advent of the transformerless multilevel inverter topology has brought forth various pulse width modulation (PWM) schemes as a means to control the switching of the active devices in each of the multiple voltage levels in the inverter. An analysis of how existing multilevel carrier-based PWM affects switch utilization for the different levels of a diode-clamped inverter is conducted. Two ...
