Five-level NPC-VSI Capacitor Voltage Balancing Using a Novel Clamping Bridge
نویسندگان
چکیده
A serious constraint in multilevel inverters is the capacitor voltage-balancing problem. The unbalance of the different DC voltage sources of the five-level Neutral Point Clamping Voltage Source Inverter (NPC-VSI) constituted the major limitation for the use of this power converter. To remedy to this problem, a new control solution to compensate the unbalanced DC voltages for the five-level NPC VSI is presented. It provides a fast and flexible control of the inverter capacitor voltages, leads to a simpler implementation, and present high equalization efficiency. Simulation results show the effectiveness of our methods. KeywordsClamping bridge, five-level , NPC VSI, Lyapunov function, Sliding mode control.

Now-a-days for effective load compensation, a conventional three-level neutral point clamped (CNPC) inverter topology is more preferably used. This compensator, however, faces the problems of additional clamping diodes, which reduces the redundant switching states and improves the problem of capacitor voltage imbalance; further increasing the inverter cost. In this paper, a detailed analysis of...

One of the most important drawbacks of the three phases five-level NPC (Neutral Point Clamped) Active Power Filter (APF) is the neutral point balance. As the consequence, the capacitors voltages of the input DC bus of the APF are not equal which constitutes the major limitation for the use of this power converter. In order to stabilize these DC voltages, it is proposed in this paper to study th...
