Abstract

This article introduces a three-phase capacitor clamped inverter with inherent boost capability by relocating the filter components from the AC side to the configuration’s midpoint. This topology has several distinguishing characteristics, including: (a) low component count; (b) high DC-AC gain; (c) decreased capacitor voltage stresses; (d) improved power quality (extremely low voltage and current THDs) without the use of an AC-side filter; and (e) decreased voltage stresses on power semiconductor devices. Simulations were carried out on the MATLAB Simulink platform, and results under steady-state conditions, load and reference change conditions, and phase sequence change conditions, along with THD profiles, are presented. This inverter’s performance was compared to that of similar converters with intrinsic gain. A 1200 W experimental prototype was built to demonstrate the system’s feasibility and benefits. When compared to existing topologies, simulation and experimental results indicate that the proposed inverter provides superior high gain, smooth control, low stress, and a long life time.
