A multi-level converter includes a plurality of alternating current (AC) terminals connected to an AC source or load, at least three direct current (DC) terminals connected to a multi-level DC source or load, and a plurality of solid-state switches that are selectively turned On and Off to connect each of the plurality of AC terminals to one of the DC terminals. A controller provides PWM control signals to the solid-state switches. The controller utilizes space vector modulation to organize the various switching state configurations, and increments the switching states during a first half of the switching period and decrements the switching states during a second half of the switching period to center-align the PWM signals provided about the center of the switching period. The switching states utilized during the switching period dictate the PWM control signals provided to the plurality of switches employed in the three-level converter. |
