Abstract

This paper presents a novel three-level voltage source converter for AC–DC–AC conversion. The proposed converter based on H-bridge structure is studied in detail. The control method with traditional double-closed-loop control strategy and voltage balancing algorithm is applied to the rectifier side. Correspondingly, a simplified modulation algorithm is applied to the inverter side, and the voltage balancing of inverter side is realized through the optimal selection of switching combination. Then, the application of the proposed topology is assessed in general and ideal operation conditions. Furthermore, the proposed topology with a variable voltage variable frequency (VVVF) is verified in experimental conditions. The performance of the proposed converter and control strategy is evaluated by experimental and simulation results.
