Abstract:
The multilevel converter is a seven-level active neutral-point-clamped (ANPC)-based and is a cascaded connection of a three-level ANPC converter and an H-bridge per phase. Depending on the switching states of converter the voltage level is maintained. The converter is operated under space vector pulse width modulation (SVPWM) to reduce the total harmonic distortion.
