Pulse Width Modulation in Power Converters

Pulse width modulation is a technique used to control the output voltage of a power converter by varying the duty cycle of switching devices. It aims to reduce harmonic distortion and increase output voltage magnitude at a given switching frequency. In pulse width modulation for multilevel converters, a reference signal is compared to multiple phase-shifted triangular carrier signals to generate switching signals. This is known as a multi-carrier modulation scheme. The document describes a phase-shifted carrier PWM method for a six-level converter, where the DC bus voltage is divided evenly among three submodules per arm, and the triangular carriers are phase-shifted by 60 degrees between adjacent signals.

Pulse width Modulation.

The pulse width modulation (PWM) is widely used for controlling the AC output voltage of a
power converter. The targeted (reference) AC output voltage is obtained by varying the duty
cycle of switching devices. The PWM schemes are designed to reduce the output voltage
harmonic distortion and increase the magnitude of the output voltage at a given switching
frequency.
In Pulse width modulation, I use high switching frequency Modulation in which I use phase
shift in carrier Modulation

The carrier modulation schemes are extended to the multilevel converters, where multiple
triangular carrier signals are compared with a phase modulation signal to generate the gating
signals. This approach is referred to as a multi-carrier modulation scheme

In PSC-PWM, all triangular signals have the same frequency and peak-to-peak amplitude, but
there is a phase-shift between the adjacent triangular signals.

By using 6 Submodule. 3 submodule for upper arm and 3 submodule for lower arm the angle
between adjacent triangular Signals is 60 degree which I compare it with Reference signal
that is gated signal due to which the ideal switch become ON and OFF properly.

The Internal structure of each sub module is compose of two ideal switches and one Battery
source.
