Abstract

A cascaded H-bridge multilevel converter topology is the ultimate solution for energy conversion in various industrial applications due to its exceptional features, such as high modularity and fault-tolerant capability. However, two circumstances can lead to unbalanced operation of the inverter, potentially causing a decrease in its reliability and survivability: unequal DC voltage sources and faulty cells. In recent decades, scientists and engineers have conducted intensive research and meaningful studies to propose control solutions capable of maintaining the stable and continuous operation of the inverter under these operational concerns. Typically, each challenge is addressed separately using a distinct compensation control scheme in the existing literature. The paper aims to offer a comprehensive review of the existing compensation control schemes appropriate for CHBMIs operating under unbalanced conditions. It overviews the most popular control schemes and summarizes their usefulness in such scenarios. The theoretical foundations of each control scheme are presented and discussed, including their operating principles, implementation schemes, advantages, and disadvantages. The paper concludes with suggested future trends that require further research for CHBMIs’ continued growth and adoption in various industrial applications.
