  • Abstract
    This paper presents an approach that allows to apply space-vector modulation strategy to eliminate common-mode voltage in multilevel inverters. The strategy is based on the reduction of the space vector diagram and on the choice of switching states in which the common-mode voltage is zero. Results were obtained with a real-time simulator and an experimental platform of a cascaded inverter up to 11-level shows its effectiveness. The influence of dead-time over the algorithm performance is investigated too.
