Abstract
Phase-Shifted Modulation (PSM) applied to multilevel converters is an effective method for reducing the output THD. In this paper, a new unipolar PSM method is proposed to control internal circulating current of a high-current low-voltage power converter, composed of parallel connected H- Bridges. The proposed method reduces the H-bridge currents distortions and the power losses of the overall converter. Simulation results comparing the standard unipolar modulation with the proposed unipolar modulation technique are performed to demonstrate its effectiveness.
