The proposed method is inspired by the well-known 3rd harmonic injection method and can be implemented in any multilevel topology. Since the proposed method uses the sources sequentially and does not need to make any of the sources bypassed, it particularly suits binary multilevel inverters. The proposed method is studied with sinusoidal and triangular injected waveforms to compare their effectiveness for different output voltages. The functionality of the proposed method is approved by simulation results and the improvements in the case of balanced energy extraction is compared with the conventional method. date: 2023-05-11 date_type: published publisher: VDE VERLAG GmbH official_url: https://www.vde-verlag.de/proceedings-de/566091328.html oa_status: green full_text_type: pub language: eng primo: open primo_central: open_green verified: verified_manual elements_id: 2270268 doi: 10.30420/566091328 isbn_13: 9783800760916 lyricists_name: Baghdadi, Mehdi lyricists_id: MBAGH63 actors_name: Baghdadi, Mehdi actors_id: MBAGH63 actors_role: owner full_text_status: public pres_type: paper publication: PCIM Europe Conference Proceedings place_of_pub: Nürnberg, Germany pagerange: 2376-2384 event_title: Conference: PCIM Europe 2023 - International Exhibition and Conference for Power Electronics, Intelligent Motion, Renewable Energy and Energy Management issn: 2191-3358 book_title: PCIM Europe Conference Proceedings citation: Tazehkand, MZ; Baghdadi, M; (2023) Modified Third Harmonic Injection Modulation for Voltage Balancing in Multilevel Inverters.
