Space Vector Modulation Techniques for Multilevel Converters – a survey

Description

This paper presents a survey of most recent, simple and efficient Space Vector Modulation algorithms for multilevel converters. These algorithms avoid trigonometric and other complex operations, leading to more simple and cost efficient implementations. They can be applied to multilevel topologies and present freedom degrees that can be Exploited in order to optimize system parameters in the system like: capacitors voltages balancing or voltage/current ripples. Experimental results are presented to show the good performance of the algorithms.
