Switched-capacitor (SC) power converters that use capacitors as energy storage elements offer much better power density than switched-inductor counterparts and are thus attractive in low-power area-constrained applications. Switched-capacitor (SC) converters have shown tremendous promise in this regard due to favorable device utilization and scaling trends, and the emergence of high-density silicon-compatible capacitor technologies. With the rising integration levels used to increase digital processing performance, there is a clear need for multiple independent on-chip supplies in order to support per-IP or block power management.

Simulation of Five Level Diode Clamped Multilevel Inverterrahulmonikasharma
The power electronics device which converts DC power to AC power at required output voltage and frequency level is known as inverter. The voltage source inverters produce an output voltage or a current with levels either 0 or +ve or-ve V dc. They are known as two-level inverters. Multilevel inverter is to synthesize a near sinusoidal voltage from several levels of dc voltages. Multilevel inverter has advantage like minimum harmonic distortion. Multi-level inverters are emerging as the new breed of power converter options for high power applications. They typically synthesize the stair-case voltage waveform (from several dc sources) which has reduced harmonic content. Multi-level inverters have many attractive features, high voltage capability, reduced common mode voltages near sinusoidal outputs, low dv/dt, and smaller or even no output filter; sometimes no transformer is required at the input side, called the transformer-less solution, making them suitable for high power applications In this paper a 5-level Diode clamped multilevel inverter is developed by IGBTS using Simulink. Gating signals for these IGBTS have been generated by designing comparators. In order to maintain the different voltage levels at appropriate intervals, the conduction time intervals of IGBT have been maintained by controlling the pulse width of gating pulses[6] (by varying the reference signals magnitude of the comparator). The simulation results for 5-level and THD for the output have been identified by MATLAB/SIMULINK.
Design & Simulation Of 3-Phase, 15-Level Inverter with Reverse Voltage TopologyIJERA Editor
Multilevel inverters have been widely accepted for high-power high-voltage applications. Their performance is highly superior to that of conventional Seven-level inverters due to reduced harmonic distortion, lower electromagnetic interference, and higher dc link voltages. In this paper, a new topology with a reversing-voltage component is proposed to improve the multilevel performance. This topology requires fewer components compared to existing inverters (particularly in higher levels) and requires fewer carrier signals and gate drives. Therefore, thecomplexity is greatly reduced particularly for higher output voltage levels. The Proposed 15-level inverter is modelled and simulated in Matlab 2012a using Simulink and Sim Power Systems set tool boxes

Simulation of Five Level Diode Clamped Multilevel Inverterrahulmonikasharma
The power electronics device which converts DC power to AC power at required output voltage and frequency level is known as inverter. The voltage source inverters produce an output voltage or a current with levels either 0 or +ve or-ve V dc. They are known as two-level inverters. Multilevel inverter is to synthesize a near sinusoidal voltage from several levels of dc voltages. Multilevel inverter has advantage like minimum harmonic distortion. Multi-level inverters are emerging as the new breed of power converter options for high power applications. They typically synthesize the stair-case voltage waveform (from several dc sources) which has reduced harmonic content. Multi-level inverters have many attractive features, high voltage capability, reduced common mode voltages near sinusoidal outputs, low dv/dt, and smaller or even no output filter; sometimes no transformer is required at the input side, called the transformer-less solution, making them suitable for high power applications In this paper a 5-level Diode clamped multilevel inverter is developed by IGBTS using Simulink. Gating signals for these IGBTS have been generated by designing comparators. In order to maintain the different voltage levels at appropriate intervals, the conduction time intervals of IGBT have been maintained by controlling the pulse width of gating pulses[6] (by varying the reference signals magnitude of the comparator). The simulation results for 5-level and THD for the output have been identified by MATLAB/SIMULINK.
Design & Simulation Of 3-Phase, 15-Level Inverter with Reverse Voltage TopologyIJERA Editor
Multilevel inverters have been widely accepted for high-power high-voltage applications. Their performance is highly superior to that of conventional Seven-level inverters due to reduced harmonic distortion, lower electromagnetic interference, and higher dc link voltages. In this paper, a new topology with a reversing-voltage component is proposed to improve the multilevel performance. This topology requires fewer components compared to existing inverters (particularly in higher levels) and requires fewer carrier signals and gate drives. Therefore, thecomplexity is greatly reduced particularly for higher output voltage levels. The Proposed 15-level inverter is modelled and simulated in Matlab 2012a using Simulink and Sim Power Systems set tool boxes

The cascaded multilevel inverter (CMLI) has gained much attention in recent years due to its advantages in high

This paper introduces a new topology of multilevel inverter, which is able to operate at high performance. This proposed circuit achieves requirements of reduced number of switches, gate-drive circuits, and high design flexibility. In most cases fifteen-level inverters need at least twelve switches. The proposed topology has only ten switches. The inverter has a quasi-sine output voltage, which is formed by level generator and polarity changer to produce the desired voltage and current waveforms. The detailed operation of the proposed inverter is explained. The theoretical analysis and design procedure are given. Simulation results are presented to confirm the analytical approach of the proposed circuit. A 15-level and 31-level multilevel inverters were designed and tested at 50 Hz.

Development of a Novel Three Phase Grid-Tied Multilevel Inverter TopologyIAES-IJPEDS
The conventional line-commutated ac-to-dc converters/ inverters have square-shaped line current. It contains higher-order harmonics which generates EMI and it causes more heating of the core of distribution or power transformers. PWM based inverters using MOSFET/IGBT have higher switching losses, and the power handling capability and reliability are quite low in comparison to thyristors/ SCR. A thyristor based forced commutated inverters are not suitable for PWM applications due to the problems of commutation circuits. A pure sinusoidal voltage output or waveform with low harmonic contents is most desirable for ac load using dc to ac conversion. This paper presents a new multilevel inverter topology in which three phase ac- to-dc converter circuits are used in inversion mode by controlling the switching angle. Due to natural commutation, no separate circuit is required for synchronization. In this paper simulation and analysis are done for grid-tied three-phase 6-pulse, Two three-phase, 3-pulse and 12-pulse converter. These converters are analysed for different battery voltage and different switching angle combinations in order to reduce the total harmonic distortion (THD). Three-phase harmonic filters are further added to the grid side to reduce the harmonic content in the line current. A comparative study of these converters is also presented in this paper.
This paper presents a new topology for cascaded H-bridge multilevel inverter utilizing multicarrier modulation technique. The new five-level topology utilizes a capacitive divider network consisting of two capacitors for producing output voltage levels.

Five main power switches, a single additional diode apart from antiparallel diodes, two capacitors and a dc supply constitute a single five level unit. Simulations as well as experimental results are verified for the new topology utilising multicarrier modulation technique with reduced harmonic distortions in the output.

An ANN Based Capicitor Voltage Balancing Method For Neutral Point Clamped Mul...IJERA Editor
Multi-level inverters are became popular for usage in medium voltage, low voltage power applications due to
flexibility in control and better performance characteristics in terms of harmonic regulation. Neutral point
clamped are popular as they require less number of sources as their input when compared with their counter
parts i.e. cascaded multi-level inverters and found to be reliable when compared with flying capacitor based
multi-level inverters. But when neutral clamped technologies are used for generation of three-phase voltages,
the capacitors that are connected at input side experiences imbalance in their voltages, this makes neutral point
clamped multi-level inverters less reliable. In the proposed work an attempt is made to study circuits that
balances the capacitor voltages and a scheme is investigated for balancing the capacitor voltages. Method
proposed in [1] uses PID controller for balancing the capacitor voltages. In this project PI based control scheme
and artificial neural network (ANN) based control scheme for the front end circuit shown in [1] are designed for
achieving balance among the capacitor voltages. The proposed control scheme is simulated with the help of
Simpowersystems block set and neural network toolbox of MATLAB software for different load conditions.
Results obtained from ANN based controller and PI controller are presented.

In this paper a state feedback controller for tubular linear permanent magnet
synchronous motor (TLPMSM) containing two gas springs, is presented.
The proposed TLPMSM controller is used to control reciprocating motions
of TLPMSM. The analytical plant model of TLPMSM is a multi-input
multi-output (MIMO) system which is decoupled to some sub single-input
single-output (SISO) systems, then, the sub SISO systems are converted to
sub-state space models. Indeed, the TLPMSM state space model is decoupled
to some sub-state spaces, and then, the gains of state feedback are calculated
by linear quadratic regulation (LQR) method for each sub-state space
separately. The controller decreases the distortions of the waveforms.
The simulation results indicate the validity of the controller.

harmonic and ripple current analysis with its comparison statistics and thus
providing a justification for the suitable ones. The performance of the
12, 24, 36 and 48-pulse converters are compared for their effectiveness in

Modified Distribution Transformer for Enhancing Power Quality in Distribution...IAES-IJPEDS
The percentage of non-linear loads in the power distribution sector is increasing
day by day. Harmonics injected by these non-linear loads circulate in the delta
windings of the conventional distribution transformer thereby increasing the
temperature and losses. This reduces the efficiency and life of the transformers.
In a modified distribution transformer configuration proposed recently, called
star-star-delta_utilized configuration (YYD_utilized), the harmonics circulating
in the delta winding was utilized and the drainage power thus recovered was
used to power auxiliary loads. This paper presents the experimental studies
conducted on YYD_utilized distribution transformer. When compared to
conventional star-star, delta-star and star-star-delta transformers, the new
configuration of YYD_utilized transformer has shown considerable
improvement in transformer efficiency. The results obtained show that when
the power from the circulating harmonics is recovered and utilized, it not only
improves transformer efficiency but also improves the power factor
and reduces the harmonic distortions at the primary side of the transformer.
The results obtained also suggest the existence of maximum power point or an
optimum loading for the recovered harmonic power.
Modelling of Virtual Synchronous Converter for Grid-Inverter Synchronization ...IAES-IJPEDS
In this paper, virtual synchronous converter (VSCon) is been developed
which mimic the behavior of synchronous generator as in order to have fast
synchronization between the inverter with the grid. This synchronization is
important before can sent the power among inverter-grid connection. This
technique can also been applied at the distributed generated sources when are
connected to the local microgrids. Here, the frequency and voltage
synchronization also can be controlled at the same time some improvement
on synchronous generator mathematical model that is suitable to be
implemented into the inverter control. The whole unit of VSCon is operated
and simulated in Matlab/Simulink in order to observe all consequences
during synchronizing the voltage, frequency and phase-angle. It has been
verified by the simulation circuit where, the power converter can be
synchronized with the microrids without using a PLL unit for self
synchronization. This VSCon technique has proven that, by applying the
concept of the synchronous generator model in inverter control, it can cause
the inverter to behave as generator system, which does not required any
phase information from the grid in order to be synchronized.
Enhanced Crowbar Protection for Fault Ride through Capability of Wind Generat...IAES-IJPEDS
Due to increasing demand in power, the integration of renewable sources like
wind generation into power system is gaining much importance nowadays.
The heavy penetration of wind power into the power system leads to many
integration issues mainly due to the intermittent nature of the wind and the
desirability for variable speed operation of the generators. As the wind power
generation depends on the wind speed, its integration into the grid has
noticeable influence on the system stability and becomes an important issue
especially when a fault occurs on the grid. The protective disconnection of a
large amount of wind power during a fault will be an unacceptable
consequence and threatens the power system stability. With the increasing
use of wind turbines employing Doubly Fed Induction Generator (DFIG)
technology, it becomes a necessity to investigate their behavior during grid
faults and support them with fault ride through capability. This paper
presents the modeling and simulation of a doubly fed induction generator
according to grid code compatibility driven by a wind turbine connected to
the grid. This paper analyses the voltage sag due to a three-phase fault in the
wind connected grid. A control strategy including a crowbar circuit has been
developed in MATLAB/SIMULINK to bypass the rotor over currents during
grid fault to enhance the fault ride through capability and to maintain system
stability. Simulation results show the effectiveness of the proposed control
strategies in DFIG based grid connected wind turbine system.

This paper introduces an improved of multiple harmonic sources
identification that been produced by inverter loads in power system using
time-frequency distribution (TFD) analysis which is spectrogram.
The spectrogram is a very applicable method to represent signals in
time-frequency representation (TFR) and the main advantages
of spectrogram are the accuracy, speed of the algorithm and use low memory
size such that it can be computed rapidly. The identification of multiple
harmonic sources is based on the significant relationship of spectral
impedances which are the fundamental impedance (Z1) and harmonic
impedance (Zh) that extracted from TFR. To verify the accuracy of the
proposed method, MATLAB simulations carried out several unique cases
with different harmonic producing loads on IEEE 4-bus test feeder cases. It is
proven that the proposed method is superior with 100% correct identification
of multiple harmonic sources. It is envisioned that the method is very
accurate, fast and cost efficient to localize harmonic sources in distribution
system.
Performance and Energy Saving Analysis of Grid Connected Photovoltaic in West...IAES-IJPEDS
The paper presents performance and energy saving analysis of 1.25 kWp grid

occur in West Sumatra i.e. sunny, overcast, raining and cloudy.
The synchronizing process successfully done even bad weather conditions
when sunlight was low automatically. Photovoltaic in average start
producing power from 7:00 AM to 6:00 PM for normal or clear sky, however
under overcast, raining and cloudy weather, the PV power decreased and

subsidized take longer 20.8 years, but still in PV lifespan 25 years. In the
future, household subsidies may be reduced or eliminated, the solar energy

An Improved Constant Voltage Based MPPT Technique for PMDC MotorIAES-IJPEDS
Stand-alone photovoltaic (SAPV) systems are being used in remote areas
and are being seen as one of the promising solution in this regard. The SAPV
system as presented in the paper consists of solar PV panel, a DC-DC
converter, a controller and a PMDC motor. The current-voltage and powervoltage
characteristics being nonlinear, the SAPV system require maximum
power point techniques (MPPT) control techniques to extract maximum
power available from the PV cell. A voltage based MPPT technique which is
capable of tracking MPP has been selected because of numerous advantages
it offers such as: simple and low cost of implementation. The limitation of
constant voltage method is that its efficiency is low as the PV panel has to be
disconnected from the load for measurement of the open circuit voltage
(Voc). In the presented paper, the authors have removed this limitation by
using a pilot PV panel for measurement of Voc. A proportional-integrator (PI)
based controller is used in implementation of constant voltage MPP
technique and the modeling is done in MATLAB®/SIMULINK simulation
environment. The simulation results are presented and discussed in the paper,
the results shows that the efficiency of the system has increased.

The sun and wind-based generation are considered to besource of green

wind power advancements are entrenched and the infiltration of these
Renewable Energy Sources (RES) into to network is expanding dynamically.
So, as to outline a legitimate control and to harness power from RES the
learning of natural conditions for a specific area is fundamental. Fuzzy Logic

steady at desired level. The control scheme of the inverter is intended to keep
the load voltage and frequency of the AC supply at aconstant level regardless
of progress in natural conditions and burden. A Simulink model of the
proposed Hybrid system with the MPPT controlled Boost converters

An Adaptive Virtual Impedance Based Droop Control Scheme for Parallel Inverte...IAES-IJPEDS
This paper presents an adaptive virtual impedance based droop control
scheme for parallel inverter operation in low voltage microgrid. Because it is
essential to achieve power sharing between inverters in microgrid, various
droop control schemes have been proposed. In practice, the line impedance
between inverters and the point of common coupling (PCC) in microgrid are
not always equal. This imbalance in line impedance often results in a reactive
power mismatch among inverters. This problem has been solved by
introducing a virtual impedance loop in the conventional droop control
scheme. However, the reactive power sharing performance of this method is
still deteriorated when the line impedances change during operation. To
overcome such a problem, a new control scheme that is based on a virtual
impedance loop and an impedance estimation scheme is proposed.
To monitor the changes in line impedances, the impedance estimator is
implemented by using the output voltages and currents of inverters as well as
the voltages at the PCC. To compensate for the reactive power mismatch due
to the line impedance changes, the estimated line impedance is fed to the
virtual impedance loop in which it adjusts the virtual impedance value.
Comparative simulation results with the conventional ones verify the
effectiveness of the proposed adaptive virtual impedance based droop control
scheme.
Open-Switch Fault-Tolerant Control of Power Converters in a Grid-Connected Ph...IAES-IJPEDS
This paper presents the study of an open switch fault tolerant control of a
grid-connected photovoltaic system. The studied system is based on the
classical DC-DC boost converter and a bidirectional 6-pulse DC-AC
converter. The objective is to provide an open-switch fault detection method
and fault-tolerant control for both of boost converter and grid-side converter
(GSC) in a grid-connected photovoltaic system. A fast fault detection method
and a reliable fault-tolerant topology are required to ensure continuity of
service, and achieve a faster corrective maintenance. In this work, the mean
value of the error voltages is used as fault indicator for the GSC, while, for
the boost converter the inductor current form is used as fault indicator. The
fault-tolerant topology was achieved by adding one redundant switch to the
boost converter, and by adding one redundant leg to the GSC. The results of
the fault tolerant control are presented and discussed to validate the proposed
approach under different scenarios and different solar irradiances.

Performance Analysis of Photovoltaic Induction Motor Drive for Agriculture Pu...IAES-IJPEDS
This paper presents water pumping system using renewable source (solar)
without the use of chemical storage batteries. In this converter-inverter
circuit is used to drive Induction motor. The Converter used here is Two
Inductor boost converter (TIBC), which consists of a resonant tank, voltage
doubler rectifier and a snubber circuit. TIBC is designed to drive the three
phase induction motor from PV energy. TIBC converter is also known as
current fed multi resonant converter having high voltage gain and low input
current ripple. Converter switches are controlled through hysteresis controller
and ZCS resonant topologies. Solar PV power fluctuates according to
irradiation level of sunlight and hence tracking of maximum power at all
time is mandatory. SPWM control with third harmonic injection is used to
trigger the IGBT’s in the inverter. The development is oriented to achieve a
more efficient, reliable, maintenance free and cheaper solution than the
standard ones, that uses DC motors or low voltage synchronous motors.
The proposed method is verified with MATLAB/SIMULINK and the system
simulation confirms the performance of the proposed system.

PV-Panel is boosted and converted into AC using Embedded Z-Source
Inverter. EZSI system based on the concept of Z-Source Inverter (ZSI),
which provides single stage power conversion. The EZSI also produce same
voltage gain as that of the ZSI based system. In EZSI the DC source is

Single-Phase Multilevel Inverter with Simpler Basic Unit Cells for Photovolta...IAES-IJPEDS
This paper presents a single-phase multilevel inverter (MLI) with simpler
basic unit cells. The proposed MLI is able to operate in two modes, i.e.
charge mode to charge the batteries, and inverter mode to supply AC power
to load, and therefore, it is inherently suitable for photovoltaic (PV) power
generation applications. The proposed MLI requires lower number of power
MOSFETs and gate driver units, which will translate into higher cost saving
and better system reliability. The power MOSFETs in the basic unit cells
and H-bridge module are switched at near fundamental frequency, i.e. 100
Hz and 50 Hz, respectively, resulting in lower switching losses. For low total
harmonic distortion (THD) operation, a deep scanning method is employed
to calculate the switching angles of the MLI. The lowest THD obtained is
8.91% at modulation index of 0.82. The performance of the proposed MLI
(9-level) has been simulated and evaluated experimentally. The simulation
and experimental results are in good agreement and this confirms that the
proposed MLI is able to produce an AC output voltage with low THD.

CFD Simulation of By-pass Flow in a HRSG module by R&R Consult.pptxR&R Consult
CFD analysis is incredibly effective at solving mysteries and improving the performance of complex systems!
Here's a great example: At a large natural gas-fired power plant, where they use waste heat to generate steam and energy, they were puzzled that their boiler wasn't producing as much steam as expected.
R&R and Tetra Engineering Group Inc. were asked to solve the issue with reduced steam production.
An inspection had shown that a significant amount of hot flue gas was bypassing the boiler tubes, where the heat was supposed to be transferred.
R&R Consult conducted a CFD analysis, which revealed that 6.3% of the flue gas was bypassing the boiler tubes without transferring heat. The analysis also showed that the flue gas was instead being directed along the sides of the boiler and between the modules that were supposed to capture the heat. This was the cause of the reduced performance.
Based on our results, Tetra Engineering installed covering plates to reduce the bypass flow. This improved the boiler's performance and increased electricity production.
It is always satisfying when we can help solve complex challenges like this. Do your systems also need a check-up or optimization? Give us a call!

separation of the offset into the major and supplementary components shows the use for analysis of pulse
width modulation manage a characteristics of multilevel inverters [8]. Technology of a hybrid modulation
scheme present combination of fundamental frequency modulation and multilevel sinusoidal-modulation
scheme, and are planned for performance of the famous alternative phase opposition disposition control,
phase shifted control, carrier based space vectormodulation control, and single carrier sinusoidal modulation
control [9]. The two level and three level neutral point clamped inverter by using SVPWM Technique with
Photovoltaic Cell is used as input source [10]. The carrier phase shifted SPWM equipment is implemented in
the cascaded multilevel inverter to decreaseharmonic content available in output voltage wave and current
wave, in the interim, a novel style of bypassmanage technique is projected to collect all the energy in
feedback system and return it into the energy to feedback unit [11]. The recognized fractal arrangement is
utilized to recommend a generalized algorithm for SVPWM production for two legged five level multilevel
inverters [12]. The assessment of carrier arrangement based bipolar PWM techonolgy of trinary nine level
multilevel inverters with various PWM technologies [13].
This paper proposes a novel three phase, Nine-level inverter topologies with a Trinary-DC sources.
The suggested topologies are gained by cascading a full bridge inverter with uneven DC sources. These
topologies have several new patterns adopting the fixed switching frequency, multicarrier control freedom
degree with mixture conceptions are established and simulated for the preferred three-phase cascaded
multilevel inverter.
2. PROPOSED TRINARY MULTILEVEL INVERTER
The three-phase multilevel inverter is being used for a large number of industrial applications due to
their capability of high-power accompanying with lesser output harmonics and lesser switching losses.
Multilevel inverter has grown into an active and applied resolution for increasing output power and
decreasing total harmonics distortion of AC load system. The proposed Trinary cascaded multilevel inverter
contains two full bridges with dissimilar voltage sources. The first full bridge contains the DC source of
1VDC and the second full bridge contains the DC source 3VDC as presented in Figure 1.
Figure 1. The Proposed Trinary Cascaded Multilevel Inverter
Each DC source is connected to a proposed three phase inverter. Each inverter produces a three
dissimilar output voltage levels, such as positive, zero and negative levels by different groupings of the four
power semiconductor switches S1, S2, S3 and S4. Whenever the switches, S1 and S4 is turned ON, then the
output voltage is positive level (+Ve); whenever the switches S2 and S3 is turned ON, then the output voltage
is negative level (-Ve); whenever either pair of switches (S1 and S2) or (S3 and S4) is turned ON, then the
output voltage will be at zero level (0). Then the output voltage of first bridge can be made equal to the
−1VDC, 0, or 1VDC, correspondingly the output voltage of second bridge can be made equal to the −3VDC, 0,
or3VDC by turning ON and turning OFF its power semiconductor switches properly. Consequently, the output
voltage of the inverter values for −4VDC, −3VDC, −2VDC, −1VDC, 0, 4VDC, 3VDC, 2VDC, 1VDC, can be planned,
as represented in Figure 1 and table 1 represents the switching sequence of proposed multilevel inverter. The
lower inverter (HB2) produces a necessary output voltage with three levels, and then the upper inverter (HB1)

3. CARRIER OVERLAPPING PULSE WIDTH MODULATION TECHNIQUES
In this research, sinusoidal reference signals with several overlapping triangular carriers are selected
to produce a preferred output voltage. Then the purpose of every inverter is to modify a DC input voltage into
a nearby AC output voltage with preferred magnitude and frequency which can be attained by using a
number of modulation schemes. Then the proposed multilevel inverter needs N-1 triangular carriers
producing a nine level output voltage. As far as the certain reference wave is disturbed, there is also several
control freedom containing frequency, amplitude, phase angle of the modulating signals and as in three phase
proposed circuits, to insert zero sequence signal to the modulating signals. Then, multilevel carrier based
pulse width modulation techniques offer many control freedom.
These control freedom arrangements combined with the simple topologies of the multilevel inverters
produce an output voltage with the help of multilevel carrier based pulse width modulation approaches. This
research offers four carrier overlapping pulse width modulation techniques that employs the control freedom
of a vertical offsets amongst carrier. The following carrier overlapping techniques are used: Sub harmonic
pulse width modulation scheme (SHPWM), Phase disposition scheme with carrier overlapping pulse width
modulation (COPWM-1), Phase opposition disposition scheme along with carrier overlapping pulse width
modulation (COPWM-2), alternate phase opposition disposition along with carrier overlapping pulse width
modulation (COPWM-3). The above four schemes are employed in this work.
The N-level inverter (using N-1 carriers with the equal frequency of fc and equal peak-to-peak
amplitude of AC) is predisposed such that the bands they occupy overlapping with each other; the
overlapping vertical detachments concerning each carrier are Ac/2.

3.1. Sub Harmonics Pulse Width Modulation
In Sub harmonics pulse width modulation schemes, all the triangular carriers are in phase with each
other. For an N-level inverter using bipolar switching multicarrier pulse width modulation techniques, (N-1)
carriers have same frequency fc and same peak-to-peak amplitude Ac. Then the reference waveform has
amplitude of Am and frequency of fm and it is centered about the zero level. Then the reference wave is
always compared with each of the triangular carrier signals. When the reference wave is more than the
triangular carrier signal, the active devices equivalent to that carrier signals are switched ON. Otherwise, the
devices switched OFF. Then the sub harmonics pulse width modulation scheme yields only odd harmonics
order for odd mf; and yields odd and even order harmonics for even mf. Figure 2 shows the pulse generation
and carrier arrangement for sub harmonics pulse width modulation scheme for ma = 0.85 and mf = 2000HZ.
