This paper presents a detailed investigation into the performance of multi-level converter topologies (2L-1P-NPC, 3L-1P-NPC, and 4L-1P-NPC) in regulating the angular position and velocity of a switched reluctance motor (SRM). Utilizing the MATLAB-Simulink environment, the study rigorously simulates various operational scenarios under distinct modulation schemes: BVPWM, UVPWM, LSPWM, and VVPWM, all functioning at a constant switching frequency of 10 kHz. Key parameters, including inductances, resistances, and mechanical properties of the load, are meticulously defined to ensure realistic representations of operating conditions. The analysis encompasses both steady-state and transient responses, highlighting the converters' ability to minimize total harmonic distortion (THD) in voltage and electromagnetic torque outputs. Specifically, topology C exhibited the lowest voltage THD of 23.66 % under LSPWM, underscoring the advantages of higher-level converters. Furthermore, the study investigates the effects of duty cycle variations on harmonic profiles and torque characteristics, revealing significant reductions in torque ripple with advanced modulation techniques. Transient performance assessments demonstrate the system's stability and accuracy, with negligible steady-state errors in angular position and responsive behavior to step changes in reference inputs. These findings affirm the efficacy of proportional-integral (PI) control strategies in achieving precise control of the SRM. The results substantiate the superiority of multi-level converter topologies in high-performance applications, providing compelling evidence of their enhanced harmonic performance and control capabilities. This research contributes to the growing body of knowledge in electric motor drive systems, offering insights into the implementation of advanced modulation strategies and the potential for future innovations in converter technologies.
