Model-Predictive Modulation Strategy for a Hybrid Si-SiC Cascaded H-Bridge Multi-Level Converter

This paper analyses new model-predictive modulation strategies applied to hybrid Silicon Silicon-Carbide cascaded H-bridge (CHB) converters. The analysis identifies a suitable ratio of Silicon to Silicon-Carbide cells and the appropriate modulation strategy applied to this topology concept. The evaluation is based on semiconductor losses and harmonic performance.
