Active DC Voltage Balancing PWM Technique for High-Power
Cascaded Multilevel Converters
ABSTRACT
In this paper, a dedicated pulse width modulation (PWM) technique specifically
designed for single-phase (or four wire three-phase) multilevel Cascaded H-Bridge Converters is
presented. In recent years multilevel converters have been identified as a favored topology for
high power applications as a result of advantages such as high levels of modularity, availability,
overall efficiency, and high output waveform quality. This is achieved at the expense of
increased numbers of components and control complexity. In all the aforementioned
applications, multilevel converters are being increasingly considered as a fundamental
technology, as a result of their capability to handle high-power, utilizing low voltage power
devices, while maintaining superior quality output waveforms, even at low device switching
frequency.
Among all the possible multilevel converter topologies Cascaded H-Bridge converters
(CHB) represent an interesting solution in several applications where its reduced number of
components when compared to other multilevel converter topologies and high modularity are
important features which lend themselves to the improvement of overall system efficiency and
reliability. The main issues with the CHB converter is the requirement for isolated DC-Link
voltages as well as the significant effect of device voltage drop and on-state resistance in
applications with high number of levels and relatively low application ac side voltages In this
paper, the latter case is considered and a novel modulation technique, developed for single-phase
systems and suitable for high power multilevel CHB converters, is introduced. The proposed
modulation strategy is based on the Distributed Commutation Modulator (DCM).
