The proposed switching technique generated lower voltage total harmonic distortion (THD) as compared to the conventional multicarrier based PWM schemes such as phase-shift PWM (PSPWM), level-shift PWM (LSPWM), switching frequency optimal PWM (SFPWM) and selective harmonic elimination technique (SHET). To compare the performance of the proposed method with PSPWM, LSPWM, SFPWM and SHET techniques, three-phase five, seven, nine and eleven-level circuit topologies of cascade multilevel converter (CMC) were designed and simulated. Based on the seven-level CMC topology the dynamic behavior of both shunt and series active power filters were investigated for power quality improvement of a single feeder distribution system. Digital simulations were carried out using the well-developed industry standard power system program, PSCAD/EMTDC to validate the performance of CMC based shunt and series active power filters. © 2014 Praise Worthy Prize S.r.l.-All rights reserved. date: 2014 publisher: Praise Worthy Prize S.r.l official_url: https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-84905964982&doi=10.15866%2firemos.v7i3.340&partnerID=40&md5=68adfe95eb278c868b0bf542e22ac777 id_number: 10.15866/iremos.v7i3.340 full_text_status: none publication: International Review on Modelling and Simulations volume: 7 number: 3 pagerange: 363-378 refereed: TRUE issn: 19749821 citation: Mohammed, B.S. and Ibrahim, R.B. and Perumal, N. and Rama Rao, K.S.
