Pulse-width modulation (PWM) is the basis for control in power electronics. The theoretically zero rise and fall time of an ideal PWM waveform represents a preferred way of driving modern semiconductor power devices. With the exception of some resonant converters, the vast majority of power electronic circuits are controlled by PWM signals of various forms. The rapid rising and falling edges en...

Renewable energy sources, especially solar photovoltaic systems (PV) are gaining popularity as the demand for electrical energy is increasing day by day. They can act as a voltage source feeding the power circuit. This work aims in utilising the PV system as a voltage source for a cascaded five level inverter. Further the performance of the PV panel fed cascaded multilevel inverter is analysed ...

Pulse Width Modulated (PWM) voltage source inverters (VSIs) are extensively used in industrial and domestic applications. The versatile natural sampled sinusoidal PWM (SPWM) method can perform output voltage control with acceptable indices. In these PWM-VSI, the coarse voltage regulation is done with change in modulation depth while fine voltage regulations have not been addressed by other auth...

A PWM technique is used to achieve the low total harmonic distortion (THD) at the output of inverter during the construction of pulses to the converter switches. By using PWM modulation techniques we can minimize harmonics generated by the PWM technique itself. First, we present converter topology characteristics with PWM techniques. Then we describe how a suggested modulation minimizes harmoni...
