Modified Space Vector Modulation for Cascaded H-Bridge Multilevel Inverter with Open-Circuit Power Cells
In this research, a new space vector modulation control algorithm is proposed to increase the reliability of the cascaded H-bridge multilevel inverters in case of faulty situations, where one or several power cells do not function. Methods to detect faults ensure finding open-circuit module exactly,...

description | In this research, a new space vector modulation control algorithm is proposed to increase the reliability of the cascaded H-bridge multilevel inverters in case of faulty situations, where one or several power cells do not function. Methods to detect faults ensure finding open-circuit module exactly, which is fast and easy to program. By giving a detailed analysis of the impact of the faulty power cells, optimal redundant level states are chosen such that highest possible output voltage can be achieved, while the balance of the three-phase line-to-line voltage is maintained and common-mode voltage is reduced. The proposed algorithm is generalized so that it can be applied to H-bridge inverters of any level. The validity of the method is verified by numerical simulations and experiment results with an 11-level cascaded H-bridge inverter. |
