Space Vector Modulation for Nine-Switch Converter Employing Three Phase Loads

Abstract

Different power utilities require different voltage levels and sources (AC/DC) for its operation. In this process converters are required where lot of power is being wasted in components as switching & conduction losses. One way to reduce losses is to reduce the number of switches in the converter. This paper proposes a nine-switch converter where two loads are controlled using a single inverter having nine-switches resulting in less conduction & switching losses as well as less space and cost. Finally, this work shows the simulation of nine-switch converter operating with space vector modulation and employing two three phase loads.
