Fig. 11 shows a comparison of DPWM2O, DPWMLPF2 and GDPWMO at 0.4 modulation index. The inverter is operating with 160 Hz fundamental frequency and 7.68 kHz switching frequency. The output power factor angle is 45°. It can be seen that each strategy produces 32 pulses in one cycle. However, the clamping interval of the GDPWMO strategy is perfectly aligned with the line current peaks, whereas the DPWM2O and DPWMLPF2 strategies incurs switching instances around the current peaks.

The conventional two levels Inverter have many limitations for high voltage and high power application. Multilevel inverter becomes very popular for high voltage and high power application. The multilevel inverter is started with the three level converters. The elementary concept of a multilevel converter to achieve higher power to use a series of power semiconductor switches with several lower voltage dc source to perform the power conversion by synthesizing a staircase voltage waveform. However, the output voltage is smoother with a three level converter, in which the output voltage has three possible values. This results in smaller harmonics, but on the other hand it has more components and is more complex to control. In this paper, study of different three level inverter topologies and SPWM technique is explain and SPWM technique has been applied to formulate the switching pattern for three level and five level H-Bridge inverter that minimize the harmonic distortion at the inverter output. This paper deals with comparison of simulation results of three levels and five

In applications operating from AC line voltages of 600VAC and less, IGBTs with blocking voltage ratings of up to 1400V have provided an efficient low cost means of constructing high performance voltage source inverters. In higher voltage applications GTOs (Gate Turn-Off thyristors) have been used but their limited switching frequency of 300Hz or so, offers little advantage when compared to other circuit topologies. Clearly, a higher performance, high power semiconductor device is needed. Today, newly commercialized high voltage IGBTs with blocking voltages to 3300V

Generation of electrical power in low voltage level is very much cost effective. Hence electrical power is generated in low voltage level. Theoretically, this low voltage level power can be transmitted to the receiving end. But if the voltage level of a power is increased, the current of the power is reduced which causes reduction in ohmic or I2R losses in the system, reduction in cross sectional area of the conductor i.e. reduction in capital cost of the system and it also improves the voltage regulation of the system. Because of these, low level power must be stepped up for efficient electrical power transmission. This is done by step up transformer at the sending side of the power system network. As this high voltage power may not be distributed to the consumers directly, this must be stepped down to the desired level at the receiving end with the help of step down transformer. These are the uses of electrical power

The proposition highlights the DC-connection adjusting control which is the most ordinarily confronted issue in the event of a three-level diode braced inverter, with no extra circuit. Changes of the regulation strategies for the acknowledgment of the DC-connection adjusting control have been proposed. Correlation of the aggregate symphonious bending of the line-to-line voltages at the yields of the two and three-level inverters has been exhibited for PWM, SVPWM &CB-SVPWM methods. The postulation likewise manages the control of the Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor drive utilizing Field-Oriented Control

This paper investigates adjustable speed induction motor drive using 2-level and 3-level PWM.The result obtained is verified using Matlab simulation.This result compares the hamonic contect in between 2-level and 3-level by FFT analysis tool.To analyse the resulta a carrier based pwm was taken using 2- level and 3- level topology and a threephase bridge convetor with internally generated capability SPWM/SVPWM was intrduced. Carrier freqency18*60Hz, modulation index 0.9, output voltage freqency 60 Hz and ouput voltage phase 0 degre Was fixed. So corresponing to above values,the motor speed was 1800 rpm. Or 188.5 radian/sec, hence torque is 11.87Nm. A two pole squirrel cage motor was taken subjected to 400V dc source with modulation index0.9 prduces 220v rms.when motor starts, at 0.5s it reaches its steady speed 181 radian/sec or 1728 rpm. Now by discretizing the FFT tool displays the frequency spectrum of voltage and current waveforms. These signals are stored in workspace in the ASM structure with time variable generated by the Scope block. As my model is discretized, the signal saved in this structure is sampled at a fixed step and consequently satisfies the FFT tool requirements.It was observed that value of total harmonic distortion(THD) was 65.77 percent in 2-level and 35.11 percent in 3- level for SPWM invertor and 56.77 percent for SVPWM invertor.

The rapid development of high switching frequency power electronics in the past decade leads towards wider application of voltage source inverters in AC power generation. Therefore, this prompts the need for a modulation technique with less total harmonic distortion, fewer switching losses, and wider linear modulation range.The present thesis highlights the comparison of the conventional two-level inverter and the three-level diode clamped inverters for the application in automotive industry.

This impedance inverter is applying to control speed of an induction motor. In CSI and VSI techniques which Produces undesirable harmonics. This harmonic results in reduction in efficiency of induction motor speed control. By using this inverter the harmonics are reduced which helps in giving better variable speed for speed control of induction motor. In this impedance inverter consists of two inductors and two capacitors which acts as filter that reduces harmonics And it can also be effectively reduce the voltage stress across the capacitors in the impedance network. This reduces the voltage range of the capacitors used, and also the cost of the proposed Method.

A very common practice in industrial applications for the multilevel inverter is the injection of a third harmonic in each cell to increase the output voltage was discussed in Hammond (1997) and Hill and Harbourt (1999). Another advantageous feature of multilevel SPWM is that the effective switching frequency of the load voltage is much higher than the switching frequency of each cell, as determined by its carrier signal. This property allows a reduction in the switching frequency of each cell, thus reducing the switching losses.

Now a days, the switching power supply market is flourishing quickly. The trend is for DC-AC converters with low cost, higher efficiency, power saving that enable maximum features. In this project, a single-stage three-switch buck-boost inverter is designed, where stepping up, stepping down and inversion operation will takes place in single stage. This proposed inverter will overcome all the drawbacks of traditional one. Coupled inductor plays a very important role in energy transfer and eliminates the use of line frequency transformer. As the inverter having only three switches, the controlling of switches also easier than conventional one. And it has also advantages like compact design, reduced switching losses, component size, and cost.
