Zero-voltage switching for the neutral-point-clamped (NPC) inverter

This paper proposes a transformer-assisted pulsewidth-modulation zero-voltage-switching neutral-pointclamped (NPC) inverter. With the assistance of a transformer-assisted small-rating lossless auxiliary circuit, the main switches work with zero-voltage switching without suffering from any voltage/current spikes, under simple explicit control. The technique allows for higher operating frequency ...

Space Vector Modulation Techniques for Common mode Voltage Elimination in the Three- level Voltage Source Inverter

AbstractThe low common mode voltage vector modulation technique for the three-level cascaded voltage source inverter is presented in the paper. The large number of available states for multilevel inverters can make implementation vector control strategies complicated. The main characteristic of the proposed modulation technique is its simplicity of implementation due to the fact that any availa...

Implementation and Comparison between Two Algorithms of Three-Level Neutral Point Clamped Voltage Source Inverter

This paper presents a comparison between two Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) algorithms applied to a three-level Neutral Point Clamped (NPC) Voltage Source Inverter (VSI). The first algorithm applied is the triangular-sinusoidal strategy; the second is the Space Vector Pulse Width Modulation (SVPWM) strategy. In the first part, we present a topology of three-level NCP VSI. After that, we develop t...
