Enhanced Performance of Power Converters via applying Variable Carrier Phase-Displacement Angle Modulation Methods
Reliability, Fault tolerant capability, efficiency, power density and power quality are among the restrictive requirements for nowadays power electronic converters. Industry and academia are focusing their efforts on developing new solutions to fulfill these restrictions overcoming the current challenges of the energy scenario. In this talk, a new way to operate the power converters will be addressed based on applying a variable carrier phase-displacement PWM methods. This modulation method permits to address the specific requirements of different power applications such as solar PV, motor drives with superior power quality and enhanced power devices lifetime. During the talk, the variable carrier phase-displacement angle PWM method will be presented and its use in different power converter topologies and applications will be also addressed.
