Title
Three-Dimensional Feedforward Space Vector Modulation Applied to Multilevel Diode-Clamped Converters
Abstract
Simplified space vector modulation (SVM) techniques for multilevel converters are being developed to improve factors such as the computational cost, number of commutations, and voltage distortion. The feedforward SVM presented in this paper takes into account the actual DC capacitor voltage unbalance of the multilevel power converter. The resulting technique is a low-cost generalized feedforward 3-D SVM method and is particularized for three-phase multilevel diode-clamped converters. This new modulation technique can be applied to topologies where the gamma component may not be zero. The computational cost of the proposed method is similar to those of comparable methods, and it is independent of the number of levels of the power converter. Experimental results using a three-level diode-clamped converter are presented to validate the proposed modulation technique.
