Abstract

One of the preferred choices of electronic power conversion for high power applications are multilevel inverters topologies finding increased attention in industry. Cascaded H-Bridge multilevel inverter is one of these topologies reaching the higher output voltage, power level and higher reliability due to its modular topology. Level Shifted Carrier Pulse Width Modulation (LSCPWM) and Phase Shifted Carrier Pulse Width Modulation are used generally for switching cascaded H-bridge (CHB) multilevel inverters. This paper compares LSCPWM and PSCPWM in terms of total harmonics distortion (THD) and output voltage among inverter cells. Simulation for 21-level CHB inverter is carried out in MATLAB/SIMULINK and simulation results are presented.

Abstract

A new power sharing method of a virtual sychronous generator control based inverters is introduced in this paper. Since virtual synchronous generator has virtual inertia and damping properties, it significantly enhances the grid stability. However, its output power considerably affects by the line impedance. Thus, in this paper, the relation between the droop control and the line impedance is analyzed at first. Then, by appling an improved droop control strategy to an inverter based on the virtual sychronous generator control, achieving proportional active and reactive power sharing unaffected by the line impedance is realized. The result shows that a smooth response is achieved. As well as, the voltage drop caused by the line impedance is totally compensated. As a result, the system stability is furtherly improved. At last, the effectiveness of the proposed method is verified through MATLAB/Simulink.

Abstract

A 21-levels cascaded H-bridge multilevel inverter topology based on three-phase voltage source inverter has been proposed as a superior replacement for conventional two-level in high voltage applications. In this work we have presented the usage of the new technique called virtual synchronous generator based synchronverter model to operate the multilevel inverter as synchronous generator, and to share active and reactive power automatically in case of parallel operated inverters of the same type. Carrier-based PWM is used to control each phase leg of the cascaded H-bridge multilevel inverter. This carrier-based PWM scheme is derived from the carrier phase disposition pulse width modulation strategy. By aid of MATLAB/Simulink package a simulation experiment is established to verify the performance of the proposed technique.
