Abstract

This paper deals with the implementation and performance analysis of discrete-time sliding mode (DTSM) current control applied to a seven-level cascade H-bridge converter to track three-phase reference currents for a reactive load. The converter output voltages are synthesized using a modulation scheme based on phase-shifted carrier modulation. Simulation and experimental tests have been added to demonstrate the performance of the proposed controller. At the same time, the effectiveness of the DTSM is verified under transient and steady-state conditions, respectively, by measuring the total harmonic distortion and the mean square error.
