Abstract :
A new generalized space vector modulator for cascaded multilevel converters is presented, featuring centralized control, fault tolerant and common mode voltage reduction capabilities. The SVPWM technique is based on the redundancy properties inherent in multilevel modulation schemes and is validated through a case study. Simulation and experimental results are presented.
