Description
This project focuses on minimizing the voltage total harmonic distortion when
controlling a multilevel
converter to act as a static var compensator. Use of resultant theory has enabled
the complete set of solutions to be found for switching a multilevel inverter's
power electronic devices at the fundamental frequency while eliminating the lower
order harmonics. A scheme is also developed to regulate the voltage levels of
the multilevel inverter so that it operates in an optimum amplitude modulation
index regime.
