Data confidence 70 medium
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

This paper presents the results of voltage and current Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) minimization for a three-phase cascaded H-bridge inverter with a fundamental staircase modulation. Theoretically optimal switching angles are found using THD minimization time domain constraint optimization problem formulations. Numerically obtained optimal switching angles and minimal voltage and current THD values are presented for a cascaded three-phase converter with three H-bridge modules per phase. While optimal voltage THD solutions were already reported in literature, optimal current THD ones are presented for the first time. While voltage optimal solutions are essentially discontinuous, current optimal angles have only one discontinuity.
