A 3-D space vector modulation generalized algorithm for multilevel converters

A three-dimensional (3-D) space vector algorithm of multilevel converters for compensating harmonics and zero sequence in three-phase four-wire systems with neutral is presented. The low computational cost of the proposed method is always the same and it is independent of the number of levels of the converter. The conventional two-dimensional (2-D) space vector algorithms are particular cases of the proposed generalized modulation algorithm. In general, the presented algorithm is useful in systems with or without neutral, unbalanced load, triple harmonics and for generating 3-D control vectors.
