INTRODUCTION
A multilevel three-phase inverter offers several advantages
over conventional inverters such as lower-voltage stresses on
power
electronic
switches,
better
electromagnetic
compatibility and smaller ratings for the switches.
Space vector pulse width modulation (SVPWM) enhances the
output features of this inverter by properly utilizing the DC
link voltage.
An artificial neural network (ANN) makes the implementation
of SVPWM easier as now any non-linear function of an
arbitrary degree can be approximated.
The results are presented that illustrate the merits of the ANNbased SVPWM for a five-level diode-clamped inverter.
