A transformer assisted zero voltage switching scheme for the neutral-point-clamped (NPC) inverter
APEC '99. Fourteenth Annual Applied Power Electronics Conference and Exposition. 1999 Conference Proceedings (Cat. No.99CH36285), 1999This paper proposes a transformer assisted PWM 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.

A neutral point clamped multilevel topology flow graph and space NPC multilevel topology
2015 IEEE Energy Conversion Congress and Exposition (ECCE), 2015Neutral-Point Clamped (NPC), such as diode-clamped, multilevel inverter technology has emerged recently as a very important alternative in the area of high-power medium-voltage energy control. However, the NPC Multilevel topology also has variable type of structure which cannot be found due to lack of systematic derivation methodology.

Compared with the conventional buck-boost three-level inverters, the Z-source neutral-point-clamped (NPC) inverters have more simple structure with improved output waveform quality. But the neutral-point potential unbalance problem is still a drawback for their applications. Based on the research of SPWM modulation method and the analysis of the effect

In order to prevent the occurrence of the short circuit between the identical phase-leg semiconductor switches, dead-time is injected in the pulse width modulation (PWM) voltage source multilevel inverters (MLIs). This paper proposes a mathematically formulated dead-time computation technique for neutral-point clamped multilevel inverters (NPC-MLIs ...

IECON 2013 - 39th Annual Conference of the IEEE Industrial Electronics Society, 2013
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

The balancing properties of DC link compensation for 3-phase Neutral Point Clamped (NPC) Converter
Proceedings of The 7th International Power Electronics and Motion Control Conference, 2012One of the major benefits of a three level NPC multilevel converter is that it requires only one DC source. However, the intermediate Neutral Point (NP) voltage of the converter must be maintained midway between the two outer dc-bus voltages, to avoid semiconductor device overvoltage stress and output modulation distortion. Various approaches have been

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 ...

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.
