A New Three-Level Active Neutral-Point-Clamped (A-NPC) Multilevel Converter Topology
IECON 2019 - 45th Annual Conference of the IEEE Industrial Electronics Society, 2019This paper proposes a new three-level active neutral-point-clamped (A-NPC) converter topology. The classic three-level A-NPC converter's phase-leg (per-phase) comprises the four line-frequency (LF) and two full-cycle-switched high-frequency (HF) pulse-width-modulation (PWM) power switches such as the insulated-gate bipolar transistors (IGBTs).

Zero-voltage switching for the neutral-point-clamped (NPC) inverter
IEEE Transactions on Industrial Electronics, 2002This paper proposes a transformer-assisted pulsewidth-modulation zero-voltage-switching neutral-point-clamped (NPC) inverter. With the assistance of a transformer-assisted small-rating lossless auxiliary circuit, the main switches work with zero-voltage switching without suffering from any voltage/current spikes, under simple explicit control.

ARCPI resonant snubber for the neutral-point-clamped (NPC) inverter
Conference Record of the 1999 IEEE Industry Applications Conference. Thirty-Forth IAS Annual Meeting (Cat. No.99CH36370), 2003This paper reports a resonant snubber for the neutral-point-clamped (NPC) inverter using the auxiliary resonant commutated pole inverter (ARCPI) technique. The proposal guarantees zero-voltage switching of the main switches and zero-current switching of the auxiliary switches without incurring any voltage or current spikes across or through the main ...

Model of three level neutral point clamped converter (NPC) for grid connected photovoltaic systems
2015 38th International Convention on Information and Communication Technology, Electronics and Microelectronics (MIPRO), 2015Photovoltaic modules as direct converters of solar energy into electrical energy are typically connected to the power grid trough standard two level converters. A photovoltaic system can be connected to the power grid if it can satisfy the IEEE standardized conditions set by the power grid operator.

A soft commutated neutral-point-clamped (NPC) inverter: theory and experimentation
APEC '98 Thirteenth Annual Applied Power Electronics Conference and Exposition, 2002A soft commutation circuit aimed to substitute for the conventional snubber in a GTO NPC inverter is presented in this paper. The small rating lossless auxiliary branch creates soft switching conditions for the main devices without having to subject them to extra voltage/current spikes or any modulation constraints.

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 the reconstruction method of three phase current for AC motor by inserting a shunt resistor at the neutral point of a 3-level Neutral Point Clamped(NPC) inverter. To precisely acquire the phase currents from the shunt resistor, the switching time of the effective voltage vectors needs to secure the minimum time. For this reason, the
