Fuzzy Controlled Capacitor Voltage Balancing Control for a Three Level Boost Converter
International Journal of Engineering Trends and Technology, 2015A three-level boost converter uses a smaller inductor and lower voltage devices than the conventional boost converter. It has two capacitors connected in series across the output which leads to voltage imbalance problem due to mismatched capacitances. If not balanced, one of the capacitor voltages may be larger than the breakdown voltage of the switch,
