| 總結: | Low harmonic waveform is a very important requirement of the high power
applications. Nowadays many researchers are focusing on new voltage source. Such
voltage sources are formed by Cascade H-bridge Multilevel Inverter with low Total
Harmonic Distortion (THD). A multilevel inverter has wide applications especially for
High-Power Electrical Vehicle motor drive because they convert small DC voltage to
high AC voltage. This study investigates the performance and discusses the features of
transformer and transformer-less multilevel inverters. In order to generate sinusoidal
wave with minimum total harmonic distortion, one approach has been adapted to
calculate the conducting angles. Simple external circuit was employed to equalize the
magnetic flux via each transformer which makes it more efficient in order of the
manufacturability. All H-bridge will have the same specifications which enhance the
modularity of the system. THD values have been measured experimentally and from simulation results, the results show a good agreement with latest research. The
experimental result has been compared with the simulation values, considerable
difference have been notice because the effect of some factor such as the difference in
components quality and the precise of the microcontroller. The PIC microcontroller was
used to generate the gate signals and controlling the swapping circuit. The proposed
circuits were simulated using Orcad/Pspice and experimental prototype was build as a
drive for single phase induction motor based voltage 1 frequency method to show the
validity of this system. Simulation of the diode clamped and transformer-less cascade
multilevel inverter has been carried out to investigate their features. |
