Abstract:
|
This paper presents a novel multilevel activeclamped
converter topology, which is an extension to m levels of
the three-level active neutral-point-clamped topology. The operating
principle is established through the definition of a proper
set of switching states and a transition strategy between adjacent
switching states. The benefits of the proposed converter topology
and control in comparison to alternative multilevel converter
topologies are discussed. The simulation and experimental results
of a simple four-level dc–dc converter configuration are presented
to illustrate the converter performance features. The experimental
results of a four-level three-phase dc–ac converter are also presented
to further validate the proposed topology and operating
principle. |
