Pulse Width Modulation

7Space vector pulse width modulation for multilevel inverters using the decomposition method

In this chapter, the space vector pulse width modulation (SVPWM) algorithm for multilevel inverters using the decomposition method is presented. In this method, the space vector diagram of the multilevel inverter is decomposed into several space vector diagrams of the two-level inverters. The SVPWM algorithm using the decomposition method is applied for the seven-level inverter. In this method, the space vector diagram of the seven-level inverter is decomposed into six space vector diagrams of the four-level inverters. In turn, each of these six space vector diagrams of the four-level inverter is decomposed into six space vector diagrams of the three-level ...
