Abstract

This paper proposes a nearest level control method based modulation scheme for a 9-level symmetrical Transistor Clamped H-bridge (TCHB) inverter. The topology has gained increasing research focus due to its advantages in obtaining high quality output while using a reduced number of electronic components. The device count for obtaining a 9-level output voltage is it uses 10 active switches as compared to the 16 being used in a conventional 9-level cascaded H-Bridge (CHB) inverter. The significant contribution of the research is the development of the NLC modulation technique that operates at the fundamental frequency, thus reducing switching losses, and able to reduce harmonic content significantly. The reduced harmonic content can lessen the power quality problem. The NLC modulation scheme, shows that the overall THD is reduced without the need for filtration. The 50 values of harmonic content will be count that follows the IEEE Standard 519. MATLAB/Simulink based simulations and experimental results obtained from the laboratory prototype of a single-phase TCHB inverter feeding a R load validate the theoretical analyses and effectiveness of the proposed modulation scheme.

Abstract

Total harmonic distortion (THD) is a key index used to measure the quality of output waveforms in multilevel inverters. In this paper the THD is investigated and compared between two modulation methods; selective harmonic elimination and nearest level control, for 13-level transistor clamped H-bridge (TCHB) inverter. The selected TCHB topology employs a reduced number of DC sources and switches compared with other conventional multilevel inverters, which helps to reduce the size and cost of the inverter. The performance of both modulation methods has been validated through simulations using MATLAB/Simulink. The results show that for selective harmonic elimination, the 13-level output exists for a narrow range of modulation index, M (0.687≤M≤0.694),while for nearest level control method, the 13-level output exists for a wider range of M (M≥0.917), which means the 13-level output exists for different ranges of  for both methods. The THD obtained from both methods fulfills the IEEE Std 519-2014 standard of harmonics. Nearest level control method is conceptually simple and produces better THD results compared with selective harmonic elimination method.distortion (THD) is a key index used to measure the quality of output waveforms in multilevel inverters.
