Detailed Documentation

This simulation has been designed to implement a three-level active inverter circuit and regulate power factor. Such circuits represent a widely used technology in power conversion and control applications. An active inverter is a circuit capable of converting DC voltage to AC voltage, with three-level active inverters offering higher voltage conversion efficiency through reduced harmonic distortion and lower switching losses. The implementation includes modulation techniques like Phase Disposition PWM (PD-PWM) or Phase Shifted Carrier PWM to generate the three voltage levels (positive, zero, negative). Power factor regulation serves as a crucial aspect of power system optimization, achieved through control algorithms that adjust the phase relationship between voltage and current waveforms. Therefore, the simulation aims to study and optimize the performance of such circuits, investigating the role of power factor in circuit operation through parameter tuning and waveform analysis.
