摘要
En 中文
Five-level neutral point clamped (5L-NPC) topologies have been proposed for the medium-voltage grid and drive applications since the 1990s. However, their practical implementation has been hindered due to the inherent capacitor voltage drift issue, especially in a single-end configuration. This work proposes a fast-processing, carrier-based voltage balancing algorithm to address this issue, which is based on the latest redundant level modulation (RLM) concept. The proposed approach is fully based on closed-form expressions and basic logic operations, which can be straightforwardly programmed in microcontrollers, as enabled by a fully transparent mathematical model. In contrast, the existing methods treat it as a black box problem, which requires mandatory PI/PID controllers that complicate the implementation. This method shows effective and superior voltage balancing performance against existing methods without affecting the converter output capacity throughout all operating conditions. The fundamental principles and analysis of the capacitor operation are presented to enable a better understanding of the problem and its solution. This work also evaluates the increased switching actions as a side effect of the RLM operation, which is the mandatory cost for all known modulation-based voltage balancing approaches for 5L-NPC converters. For comparison across different systems, a new normalization term is proposed to quantify the capacitor voltage ripples for evaluation with the switching frequency factored in.
