A Unified Approach to Solving the Harmonic Elimination Equations in Multilevel Converters
Abstract
A method is presented to compute the switching angles in a multilevel converter so as to produce the required fundamental voltage while at the same time not generate higher order harmonics. Using a staircase fundamental switching scheme, previous work has shown that this is possible only for specific ranges of the modulation index. Here it is shown that, by considering all possible switching schemes, one can extend the lower range of modulation indices for which such switching angles exist. A unified approach is presented to solve the harmonic elimination equations for all of the various switching schemes. In particular, it is shown that all such schemes require solving the same set of equations where each scheme is distinguished by the location of the roots of the harmonic elimination equations. In contrast to iterative numerical techniques, the approach here produces all possible solutions.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
