  • Abstract
    This paper presents a method of using Selective Harmonic Elimination PWM (SHEPWM) as part of a control strategy for a multilevel rectifier. Such a power converter can be applied as part of a solid-state replacement for a distribution transformer. The paper discusses problems with DC link voltage balancing on the converter and how SHEPWM can be manipulated to solve these problems. The full DC link voltage control algorithm is explained and supported by simulations in the SABER¿ platform.
