leg. This duty cycle α L will not necessarily correspond with any physical duty cycle of a<br />
commutation cell, as multiple cells within one phase may interact with differing duty cycles. In this<br />
case the duty cycle α L rather <strong>de</strong>fines the output voltage ratio U out / U DC, refer<strong>en</strong>ced to U DC- and it<br />
can assume values from 0 to 1. The duty cycle α L referring to a phase leg has a fixed relationship<br />
with the average switching function s , as both are <strong>de</strong>fining the output voltage ratio of a giv<strong>en</strong><br />
phase. However, s is ranging from -1 to 1. The nom<strong>en</strong>clature s avg is used for s in some parts of<br />
the thesis.<br />

The modulation <strong>de</strong>pth m <strong>de</strong>fines the amplitu<strong>de</strong> of sinusoidal values. It is a constant number<br />
for a sine with constant amplitu<strong>de</strong>. Each harmonic may also be assigned a modulation <strong>de</strong>pth m x.<br />
This is in contrast to the duty cycles and average switching function <strong>de</strong>fined above, which are<br />
instantaneous values per phase, <strong>de</strong>scribing the operation of the converter in a giv<strong>en</strong> mom<strong>en</strong>t. A<br />
constant modulation <strong>de</strong>pth m will g<strong>en</strong>erate sinusoidal duty cycles and average switching functions.<br />
The modulation <strong>de</strong>pth m can be <strong>de</strong>fined in differ<strong>en</strong>t ways. This thesis uses the following<br />
conv<strong>en</strong>tion (unless noted otherwise):<br />

m =<br />
for maximum sinusoidal line to neutral operation (no 3 rd harmonic) (41)<br />

m = 1 for maximum sinusoidal line to line operation (incl. 3 rd harmonic or<br />
equival<strong>en</strong>t)<br />
m > 1 for the non-linear over modulation range (43)<br />

4.2 Converter states<br />
All consi<strong>de</strong>red ML topologies can be analyzed based on their commutation cells. Each of the<br />
converters has a number of commutation cells, some can be operated totally in<strong>de</strong>p<strong>en</strong>d<strong>en</strong>tly, and<br />
others may have some operational restrictions. To <strong>de</strong>scribe the status of the converter, we can<br />
assign one bit to each in<strong>de</strong>p<strong>en</strong>d<strong>en</strong>t commutation cell. If some cells exclusively operate together,<br />
they can be <strong>de</strong>scribed with one bit. We assign individual bits, if some cells partially operate together<br />
and partially operate in<strong>de</strong>p<strong>en</strong>d<strong>en</strong>t. In this case, not all states in the table of all mathematically<br />
possible state are available. All physically possible states can be listed systematically in a table along<br />
with the key properties for each state. For a complete <strong>de</strong>scription of the converter, a table with a<br />
fraction of all possible converter states is suffici<strong>en</strong>t due to symmetry.
