Capacitor Voltage Balancing control for 3LNPC LLC Resonant Converter
2019 IEEE Applied Power Electronics Conference and Exposition (APEC), 2019This paper concentrates on the capacitor voltage balancing in three-level neutral-point clamped (3LNPC) LLC resonant converter. Considering that the voltage stress applied to the power switch may exceed the rated voltage when a capacitor voltage imbalance occurs, a new control strategy is proposed to solve this problem.
