Abstract
At present, voltage source converters are mostly used in electrical drives. These converters utilize capacitors in the DC-link to store temporarily electrical energy. Switching the power electronic devices allows the DC voltage to be modulated which can result in a variable voltage and frequency waveform. The purpose of the modulator is to generate the required switching signals for these switching devices on the basis of user defined inputs. Modulation techniques for power electronic converters are discussed in this chapter.
