Abstract

This paper analyzes the structure of an 84-pulse voltage source converter (VSC), assembled by combining one twelve-pulse VSC, in conjunction with an asymmetric singlephase seven-level converter plus an injection transformer. With this arrangement, the VSC output´s total harmonic distortion in voltages is reduced, allowing it to be used in especial applications or as the basement of flexible A.C. transmission systems (FACTS) devices. The proposed strategy allows savings in the number of employed switches. Simulations and experimental results are provided to show the proposal appropriateness.
