Fault Detection Methods for Three-Level NPC Inverter Based on DC-Bus Electromagnetic Signatures
IEEE transactions on industrial electronics (1982. Print), 2018This paper proposes two new open-circuit fault detection methods suitable for the diagnosis of power electronics converters. The faulty semiconductor devices are identified using conducted and radiated electromagnetic signatures of the dc bus through ...

An analysis of the three-level neutral-point clamped (NPC) inverter with two independent DC sources
2012 25th IEEE Canadian Conference on Electrical and Computer Engineering (CCECE), 2012In addition to its other merits, the three-level neutral-point clamped (NPC) inverter allows two dc sources, which may be an advantage in photovoltaic systems for enhanced maximum power-point tracking capability and higher energy yield. This paper takes a look at the impact of power mismatch between the two dc sources on the performance of the inverter.

This paper presents a passive method to balance the voltage of the split capacitors in Neutral Point Clamped (NPC) based Voltage Source Converters (VSC). The voltage of the two capacitors is equated by connecting a low VA transformer at the AC side of the converter. The transformer is connected in wye configuration and its neutral point is connected to

Diode neutral-point-clamped(NPC) three-level inverter has more significant characteristics than traditional two-level inverter, such as high utilization rate on voltage of the DC side, low harmonics output, small switching stress etc. There has no mature products of three-level inverter with control system until now.

The neutral-point balancing of 3L-NPC converter has been studied in many works in the past. However, all state-of-the-art methods have in common that the information of the energy-flow direction is needed. Recently, Direct Dead-time Control (DDTC) has been presented which controls the converter dead-times to balance the dc-link independent from the ...

To compensate for the zero sequence current arising from asymmetrical operation of a transmission line, a neutral point clamped (NPC) inverter with a fourth wire must be employed. The most significant challenge arising from controlling of the four-wire NPC inverter consists in stabilizing the neutral point potential at the DC link middle value.

A simplified pulse width modulation (PWM) strategy for a neutral-point-clamped three-level converter with unbalanced dc links is proposed in this paper to achieve high-quality line-to-line output voltages and to maximize the linear modulation range. The simplified strategy takes the direct output voltage modulation by calculating the special solutions ...

A new pulse width modulation (PWM) strategy which is an alternative approach of the discontinuous PWM (DPWM) for a three-level neutral-point-clamped (NPC) inverter is developed and presented in this paper. The proposed PWM scheme not only takes advantage of the special properties available in NPC inverters, but also reduces the switching loss of the ...
