[0002] The current mainstream three-level inverter topologies include diode-clamped three-level inverters and T-type three-level inverters. The principles of the two topologies are similar and they can work with exactly the same modulation strategy. There are problems such as neutral point voltage fluctuation and common-mode voltage in three-level inverters, which seriously affect their safety and reduce the output voltage quality. In view of the problems of midpoint voltage fluctuation and high common-mode voltage in T-type three-level inverters, scholars at home and abroad have proposed many modulation strategies. Among them, the proposed modulation strategies mainly focus on the selection of the synthesis of basic vectors.

[0003] The existing modulation strategies are mainly divided into the traditional SVPWM modulation strategy and the control method based on constructing virtual synthesis vectors. However, the traditional SVPWM control strategy uses all basic vectors, including a large number of high common-mode vectors, resulting in the output common-mode voltage remaining at While the modulation strategy based on virtual synthesis vectors has problems such as complex basic vector selection and calculation process, and general control effect.

[0028] The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings and specific embodiments. This embodiment is implemented on the premise of the technical solution of the present invention, and gives the detailed implementation manner and specific operation process, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited to the following embodiments.

[0029] This embodiment provides a T-type three-level modulation method for reducing the common-mode voltage. By reselecting appropriate vectors for the synthesis of virtual vectors, a new synthesis method is explored. And it is ensured that under this method, the common-mode voltage is small, the midpoint voltage is balanced, and it is described in the 60° coordinate system, avoiding a large number of trigonometric function operation processes and shortening the operation time. Furthermore, a T-type three-level modulation method for reducing the common-mode voltage is proposed.

[0030] As Figure 1 shown, it specifically includes the following steps:

[0031] Step S1: Convert the three-phase space voltage vectors of the T-type three-level inverter from the 90° coordinate system to the 60° coordinate system. The topological structure of the T-type three-level inverter is as Figure 2 shown, where each 60° in the 60° coordinate system is a large sector. The voltage vector space diagram converted to the 60° coordinate system is as Figure 3 and Figure 4 shown.

[0032] Step S2: Synthesize the converted three-phase space voltage vectors into large vectors, medium vectors, small vectors, and zero vectors according to the amplitude size, including the zero vector V0 = V OOO , the first small vector the second small vector the first large vector V L1 = V PNN , the second large vector V L2 = V PPN and the medium vector

[0033] According to the above vectors, each large sector is divided into several small sectors, where the combination of P, N, and O represents the corresponding switch state of the inverter.

[0034] Step S3: Calculate the vector action time of each small sector, and obtain the pulse sequence according to the vector action time.

[0035] Step S4: Obtain the PWM signal according to the vector action time and the pulse sequence, and control the conduction and cut-off of the switch tubes of the T-type three-level inverter according to the PWM signal.

[0036] Among them, the common-mode voltage range corresponding to the switch state selected in this embodiment is The basic application range of the traditional SVPWM control strategy is By reducing the magnitude of the common-mode voltage corresponding to the switch state, the common-mode voltage can be reduced from the root.

[0037] Specifically, in step S1, after converting the coordinate system, the large sector where the reference voltage vector is located can be determined according to the following method:

[0038] When \(0^{\circ}\leq\theta\lt60^{\circ}\), the voltage vector is located in the first major sector;

[0039] When \(60^{\circ}\leq\theta\lt120^{\circ}\), the voltage vector is located in the second major sector;

[0040] When \(120^{\circ}\leq\theta\lt180^{\circ}\), the voltage vector is located in the third major sector;

[0041] When \(180^{\circ}\leq\theta\lt240^{\circ}\), the voltage vector is located in the fourth major sector;

[0042] When \(240^{\circ}\leq\theta\lt300^{\circ}\), the voltage vector is located in the fifth major sector;

[0043] When \(300^{\circ}\leq\theta\lt360^{\circ}\), the voltage vector is located in the sixth major sector.

[0044] Where \(\theta\) is the angle between the reference voltage vector and the g-axis.

[0045] Wherein, in each major sector, the synthetic vector can divide it into 5 minor sectors. The specific vector composition is shown by Figure 5 The first minor sector is composed of a zero vector, a first small vector and a medium vector. The second minor sector is composed of a zero vector, a first small vector and a second small vector. The third minor sector is composed of a first large vector, a first small vector and a medium vector. The fourth minor sector is composed of a first large vector, a second large vector and a medium vector. The fifth minor sector is composed of a second small vector, a second large vector and a medium vector. Through the vector synthesis rule in step S2 and the above sector composition, the voltage vector space of the T-type three-level inverter is re-planned, effectively reducing the common-mode voltage.

[0046] In this embodiment, the action time of the vector is calculated by the NTV rule and volt-second balance. The finally obtained vector action time is shown in Table 1:

[0047] Table 1 Vector action time table for different minor sectors

[0048]

[0049] Where T s represents the control cycle size, and g represents the control parameter.

[0050] Through the above vector action time, the pulse sequence of each minor sector can be obtained, as shown in Table 2:

[0051] Table 2 Pulse sequence table for each minor sector

[0052] Small sector (n) Pulse sequence 1 <![CDATA OPN - OON - OOO - PON - PNO - PON - OOO - OON - OPN > 2 <![CDATA OPN - OOO - PON - POO - PNO - POO - PON - OOO - OPN > 3 <![CDATA OPN - OON - PON - PNN - PNO - PNN - PON - OON - OPN > 4 <![CDATA OPN - PPN - PON - PNN - PNO - PNN - PON - PPN - OPN > 5 <![CDATA OPN - PPN - PON - POO - PNO - POO - PON - PPN - OPN >

[0053] Finally, a PWM signal for controlling the inverter switching tube is obtained. By controlling the conduction and disconnection of the inverter switching tube, the common-mode voltage is reduced.

[0054] To verify the suppression effect of the common-mode voltage in this embodiment, a simulation experiment is designed using Matlab. The main simulation parameters are: a DC-side power supply of 600 V, a resistor of 0.001 Ω, a capacitor of 0.0003 F, and a load of 87 Ω. The simulation diagram of the output common-mode voltage is as Figure 6 shown.
