Generalized Optimal SVPWM for the Switched- Capacitor Voltage Boost Converter

This paper presents a generalized space vector pulse width modulation SVPWM for the switched capacitor voltage boost converter. The algorithm is based on relaxing the location of the ON time interval within the sampling time. The four switching functions of the SC converter result in four variable that represent the location of the ON time inverter. The optimal solution of the four variable is obtained by using Monte Carlo simulation that is based on minimizing the harmonic distortion factor. Furthermore, the proposed algorithm allows seamless transition between the various SVPWM such as DPWMMAX, DPWMMIN, and regularly sampled SVPWM. The finding of this paper is presented in a form of MATLAB simulation results.
