This invention provides a method and
system for balancing the midpoint potential of a three-level, three-phase, four-wire modular
inverter. The method includes: designating one of multiple
inverter modules connected in parallel with AC / DC buses as a midpoint potential adjustment module, and the rest as non-midpoint potential adjustment modules; the midpoint potential adjustment module acquires the positive and negative
DC bus voltages and calculates the
voltage difference between them, performs filtering and closed-
loop control calculations on this
voltage difference to generate a midpoint potential compensation control quantity, and injects this control quantity as a zero-sequence compensation component into a modulation
signal to generate a drive
signal to adjust the
DC bus midpoint potential; the non-midpoint potential adjustment modules do not participate in the midpoint potential compensation control, but only perform zero-sequence current control. This invention achieves midpoint potential balancing in a three-phase, four-wire
inverter without the need for an external hardware balancing circuit, solves the midpoint potential adjustment conflict problem in multi-module AC / DC parallel scenarios, effectively suppresses zero-sequence
circulating current, and improves
system operational stability.
