Popis: To satisfy the demand for more compact medium-voltage motor drive systems, it is desirable to increase the frequency of the cascaded H-bridge inverters used in high-speed motor systems. However, in asynchronous pulse width modulation (PWM) systems, as the output frequency increases, the command voltage and triangular wave carrier frequencies get closer, making it impossible to accurately output the command voltage. This manifest itself as increased current harmonics, increased surge voltage at the motor terminals, and increased low-frequency ripple current due to the asynchronous nature of the system. In this study, we adopt a fixed pulse pattern modulation method to address these problems. In our method, a low-distortion output voltage is compiled in advance into a table, and subsequently output in synchronization with the fundamental voltage phase. We were able to confirm the effectiveness of the proposed method in simulations at fundamental wave frequencies of 700 Hz and 1000 Hz.
