An efficient method to calculate optimal pulse patterns for medium voltage converters

Reza Fotouhi, Lukas Leitner, Ralph Mario Kennel, Toit Mouton

Abstract

Optimal Pulse Patterns (OPPs) permit setting the switching frequency of power converters to a low value without compromising on Total Harmonic Distortion (THD). This paper presents the algorithm of calculating OPPs for Medium Voltage converters. The calculation procedure is explained in detail. Results are discussed and an efficient method is proposed to speed up and simplify calculations.
