نویسندگان
چکیده
The three-level Neutral Point Clamped (NPC) inverter has become matured and widely used topology in high-power medium-voltage applications due to several advantages associated with it as compared to other available multilevel topologies. This paper presents a brief review on operation of threelevel NPC inverter. Different modulation strategies used in NPC inverter is also discussed. The problem of neutral point voltage balancing with its solution is presented. Finally, the simulation and experimental results for three-level NPC inverter are given which validates the proper operation of this topology.

A New N-Level Inverter Based on Z-NPC
First of all, in this paper, the topology and operation of the three-phase three-level Z-source inverter based on neutral-point-clamped (Z-NPC) are studied. Moreover, different combinations of permissible switching states and control signals are explained for this inverter. In this paper, the topology of the three-phase three-level Z-NPC inverter is extended for an n-level state. Also, a combin...
متن کاملImplementation 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...

متن کاملSpace Vecor Modulated Three Level Neutral Point Clamped Inverter Using A Single Z Source Network
The Neutral Point Clamped (NPC) three-level inverter with Z-source network is a relatively recent converter topology that exhibits both voltage-buck and voltage-boost capability. This concept can be applied to all acto-ac, dc-to-dc, ac-to-dc, and dc-to-ac power conversion whether two-level or multilevel. However, multilevel inverters offer many benefits for higher power applications. Existing p...
