In this work we propose a steady-state modeling of DC-DC converters driven by multiple pulse width modulation (PWM) signals. The proposed DC-DC converter modeling uses a switched state-space framework and the switching ...

The authors present the analysis of an open-loop, three-phase static VAr compensator (SVC) based on a voltage source inverter, using only one fixed pulse width modulation (PWM) pattern. The VAr generation is controlled by ...

This paper presents a simple and innovative Capacitor Voltage Balancing (CVB) strategy for Modular Multilevel Converters (MMC) based on full H-bridge cell topologies. The method computes specific modulation indexes for ...

Cascaded H-bridge (CHB) converters are an attractive candidate for numerous applications, including static synchronous compensators and next-generation photovoltaic and battery energy storage inverters. Due to its simplicity, ...

Multilevel cascaded H-bridge converters have become a mature technology for applications where high-power medium ac voltages are required. Normal operation of multilevel cascaded H-bridge converters assumes that all power ...
