Under low speed condition, the output voltage distortion of the cascade multilevel converter by low index modulation and dead-time is existed. In the paper, a novel vector control is presented to compensate the current distortion. A vector control scheme was put forward for asynchronous machine driven by a cascaded multi-level inverter to compensate dead-time effect of inverter and provide sinusoidal currents. The distortion causes and distortion component extraction method were analyzed in detail. Meanwhil...
