Abstract

The invention discloses a three-level inverter DC midpoint voltage balance control method. In the control method of the invention, according to the fluctuation magnitude of the midpoint voltage, DC bias and amplitudes of positive and negative modulated waves are adjusted, and thus, balance control on the midpoint potential is thus realized. The control method of the invention has the advantages that the realization is simple; the response is quick; the DC voltage utilization rate has no loss; harmonic distortion can be ensured not to happen to the outputted voltage and the current in an unbalanced midpoint voltage condition; the balance control on the midpoint potential can be effectively realized; safety of a switching device can be ensured; and harmonics of the outputted voltage can be reduced.

Description

technical field

[0001] The invention relates to a three-level DC-AC power conversion device, in particular to a method for controlling the DC midpoint potential of a three-level DC-AC power conversion device. Background technique

[0002] Multilevel inverters can reduce the harmonic content of the output voltage and reduce the voltage stress of switching devices, and are widely used in high-voltage and high-power applications. Among them, the three-level neutral-point clamped inverter is the most extensively researched and applied. The prerequisite for the normal operation of the three-level neutral-point clamped inverter is that the neutral-point voltage remains balanced. The unbalanced midpoint voltage will lead to an increase in the harmonic content of the output voltage and current. If the voltage fluctuates sharply or there is a large steady-state deviation, it will lead to an increase in the voltage stress of the switch tube of the bridge arm, which may cause overvolt...
