Phase Shift Modulation of a Single Dc Source Cascaded H-Bridge Multilevel Inverter for Capacitor Voltage Regulation with Equal Power Distribution

Abstract

This paper presents a new control technique to regulate the capacitor voltage in cascaded multilevel inverters. Without requiring transformers, the scheme proposed here allows the use of a single dc power source with the remaining n − 1 dc sources being capacitors, which can achieve an effective role on harmonic elimination while generating the ideal output voltage. This paper focuses mainly to achieve an effective capacitor voltage regulation, and the effect of power factor on capacitor voltage regulation with the Phase shift modulation. The main advantages of this paper are to eliminate the harmonics, high-quality output power due to its high number of output levels. It shows hope to reduce the voltage ripple of the capacitors, which leads to higher power conversion efficiency with equal power distribution, reduces the initial cost, and complexity hence it is apt for industrial applications. Simulation work is done using the MATLAB software and experimental results have been presented to validate the theory.
