Abstract
ABSTRACTThis paper presents variable common mode injection pulse width modulation (VCMIPWM) technique to reduce the neutral-point voltage variations in three-level neutral-point-clamped (NPC) inverter. The neutral-point voltage varies with the modulation index and the variation is high in the low modulation index region. Therefore, proper common mode voltages are calculated for various modulation index regions and are carefully injected with the reference phase voltages. The calculation is based on equalizing the switching times of the zero/redundant vectors in a switching cycle for various modulation index regions. The simulation results show the improvement in the neutral-point voltage balancing of the inverter in the VCMIPWM scheme compared with the sinusoidal pulse width modulation (PWM). The proposed PWM is implemented in field programmable gate array (FPGA) and the experimental results are shown to verify the practicability of the proposed method.
