Performance Analysis of Phase Shifted SPWM Technique For Three Phase Diode Clamped Three Level Inverter
ABSTRACT
The Primary function of VSI is to convert fixed DC voltage into variable AC voltage at required voltage and
frequency. The diode-clamped multilevel inverter employs clamping diodes and cascaded dc capacitors to produce
ac voltage waveforms with multiple levels. The inverter can be generally configured as a three-, four-, or five-level
topology, but only the three-level inverter, often known as neutral-point clamped (NPC) inverter, has found wide
application in high-power medium-voltage (MV) drives. The dc input voltage of the inverter is normally split by two
cascaded dc capacitors, providing a floating neutral point. The control of the neutral-point voltage deviation is also
elaborated.The dc supplies are normally obtained from multipulse diode rectifiers. Phase shifted PWM Technique is
analyzed and its performance will be compared. Simulation results will be presented to analyze the performance of
the PWM techniques. The simulation results will be verified using experimental results
