| Summary: | This paper proposes a generalized carrier-based
pulse-width modulation (CBPWM) method for a 12-switch
converter feeding three independent loads. The converter
topology is part of the (3N + 3)-switch converter family
where N is the number of outputs (N = 3 for this special
case). Its more famous sibling is the 9-switch converter
which is gaining considerable interest from researchers
because of its reduced-switch count architecture. The
structure and limitations of the converter are elaborated;
its modulation method applicable to both equal and different
frequency (and/or amplitude) operations is formulated.
The generalized neutral voltages for the converter is
derived for the first time and used as the offset voltages required
by this type of topology to decouple its three outputs.
The proposed algorithm is validated by both theoretical
simulations and experimental results. |
