Abstract

In this paper the selective harmonic elimination pulse width modulation (SHE-PWM) technique is proposed to control the three-level four-leg neutral point clamped (NPC) inverter in order to have both advantages of low switching frequency of SHE and neutral point of fourth leg in four wire systems. In this proposed method, the obtained switching angles of inverter phase legs are used to eliminate the non-triplen, 5 th to 23 th harmonics orders from the output voltage. As well, switching angles calculated for the fourth leg are considered to eliminate the triplen harmonics containing 3 th , 9 th , 15 th , 21 th and 27th orders from phase voltage. The efficiency of the proposed modulation technique is verified by simulations of a four leg NPC inverter as an UPS feeding different types of dynamic and unbalanced loads.
