ABSTRACT: This paper presents a review of conventional and novel carrier-based PWM methods that are used for control of multilevel inverters. Among the discussed methods are Phase disposition (PD) PWM, Opposite Phase disposition (POD) PWM, Alternative Phase disposition (APOD) PWM, Phase Shifted PWM and Asymmetrical PWM. The paper shows the simulation results and comparison of these methods.
