Abstract
Description
Technical Field

[0002] Traditional inverters consist of a front-end switching unit and a rear-end H-bridge connected in parallel.

Unlike other bridge circuits, it solves the problem of high voltage stress inherent in traditional switched capacitor inverters, simplifying the complexity of the circuit control loop. The introduction of inductive components in the charging and output voltage loops avoids peak voltage fluctuations during capacitor charging, reducing output current distortion. This protects the circuit while extending its lifespan and reducing component costs, effectively realizing the inverter's boost function and broadening the application scenarios of multilevel inverters.
[0045] like Figure 1 As shown, the inverter consists of a switched capacitor circuit and a bridge switching circuit; the switched capacitor circuit and the bridge switching circuit are interconnected.
[0046] The switched capacitor circuit includes a power supply V. in Switches S3 and S4, capacitor C1, and inductor L1; the power supply V in The positive terminal of the capacitor is connected to the drain of switching transistor S3 and the drain of switching transistor S4 through the first circuit node. The source of switching transistor S3 is connected to the positive terminal of capacitor C1 through the second circuit node. The negative terminal of capacitor C1 is connected to the source of switching transistor S4 and one end of inductor L1 through the third circuit node. The other end of inductor L1 is connected to power supply V through the fourth circuit node. in Negative terminal connection;
[0047] The bridge switching circuit comprises a left half-bridge switching circuit and a right half-bridge switching circuit; the left half-bridge switching circuit and the right half-bridge switching circuit are respectively connected to the switched capacitor circuit.
[0048] The left half-bridge switching circuit includes switching transistor S1 and switching transistor S2; the drain of switching transistor S1 is connected to power supply V through the first circuit node. in The positive terminal of transistor S2 is connected to the drain of transistor S3, and the drain of transistor S4.

[0049] The right half-bridge switching circuit includes switching transistors S5 and S6; the drain of switching transistor S5 is connected to the source of switching transistor S3 and the positive terminal of capacitor C1 through a second circuit node, and the source of switching transistor S6 is connected to the inductor and power supply V through a fourth circuit node. in The negative terminal of the switch S5 is connected, and the source of the switch S5 is connected to the drain of the switch S6 through the sixth circuit node.
[0050] Figure 1The circuit topology features a symmetrical arrangement of switching transistors at both ends, resembling a rhombus shape. Internally, it comprises capacitors, power supplies, and power devices. This multilevel inverter structure includes an independent input power supply V. in Independent nonlinear components: capacitor C1 and inductor L1, six switching transistors S1-S6, and inductive impedance Z1; the power supply V in It is an independent DC power supply; the inductive impedance Z1 is connected to the left half-bridge switching circuit through the fifth circuit node, and the inductive impedance Z1 is also connected to the right half-bridge switching circuit through the sixth circuit node; in the rhomboid structure, the switching transistors S1, S2 and S5, S6 together form a bridge circuit to realize positive and negative polarity voltage output; inductive devices are introduced into both the charging circuit and the output voltage circuit of capacitor C1 to improve the performance of nonlinear components and ensure the stability of the output; the charging and discharging state of the capacitor is controlled according to the operating sequence of the switching transistors; the input power supply V in The capacitor is charged according to the conduction rules in the closed loop; with switch S3 on, the power supply V... in Capacitor C1 is charged via switch S3 and inductor L1; when capacitor C1 is fully charged, the voltage across its terminals is the same as that of the power supply V. in The voltages are equal; the DC source V in the circuit in The capacitor C1, in conjunction with the various switching transistors, provides power through the fifth and sixth circuit nodes, ultimately achieving 0 and ±V. in ±2V in It has a total of 5 output levels, with a maximum output voltage gain of 2 times.
[0051] Meanwhile, after the inductor L1 is introduced, the charging and discharging of capacitor C1, especially the voltage during the discharge process, is relatively smooth; in contrast, without the inductor L1, the charging and discharging of capacitor C1 fluctuates drastically. The inductive impedance Z1 includes both purely resistive and inductive parts. Without the inductive component, the output waveform is a stepped wave, but now the output is a sine wave, indicating that the harmonic distortion rate is significantly reduced after adding the inductive component.
[0052] The most significant feature of the inverter topology proposed in this invention is its ease of cascading into multiple modular circuits.

[0055] The generation of the drive signal involves comparing four triangular carrier waves and sinusoidal modulation waves of the same amplitude to obtain different forms of square waves; and logically combining the different forms of square waves to generate drive signals for each switch.
[0056] This paper summarizes three research methods for multi-level inverters: carrier phase shifting, harmonic elimination, and carrier pulse width stacking. Based on different application scenarios and comparisons, this invention selects the carrier pulse width stacking method to study the proposed topology. The carrier pulse width stacking method compares triangular carriers of the same amplitude with a sinusoidal modulated wave to obtain different forms of square waves. These different square waves are then logically combined and input into switching devices, achieving the inverter output according to a specific timing sequence. The output five-level inverter requires comparing four types of triangular carriers of the same amplitude with a sinusoidal wave. The carrier pulse width modulation strategy is as follows... Figure 3 As shown. Simultaneously, the logic relationship of the driving signals is obtained according to the carrier pulse width stacking method as follows: Figure 4 As shown.
[0057] To simplify circuit analysis, the embodiments of this invention make the following assumptions: 1) The capacitance parameters of the switching transistors are ignored; 2) Heat loss and other losses on the load are neglected; 3) All other components in the circuit are ideal components. Table 1 shows the corresponding relationship between the switching states of switching transistors S1-S6, the output voltage, and the charging and discharging states of capacitor C1. The operating states of each component are represented in the same way as before. The charging and discharging time of capacitor C1 is consistent within one cycle, and it has the same voltage ripple coefficient, which meets the requirement of self-balancing of capacitor charging and discharging voltage.

[0062] Figure 5(b) shows the output +V in A schematic diagram of the current flow path under level conditions, with S2, S3, and S5 remaining on, and S1, S4, and S6 remaining off. DC power supply V in Together with S3, they form a circuit to charge C1, bringing the voltage across C1 to the power supply voltage V. in S2, S3 and DC power supply V in A series circuit is formed to supply power to the load so that the output voltage across its terminals is equal to V. in At this time, the inverter outputs +V in Level.
[0063] Figure 5(c) shows the output -V in A schematic diagram of the current flow path under level conditions, with S1, S3, and S6 remaining on, and S2, S4, and S5 remaining off. DC power supply V in The circuit formed by S3 charges C1, bringing its voltage to the power supply voltage V. in Simultaneously, the DC power supply forms a series circuit with S1 and S6 to supply power to the load until the output voltage across its terminals equals the input source voltage. At this point, its terminals are -V. in Level.
[0064] Figure 5(d) shows the output +2V. in The diagram illustrates the current flow path under level conditions. S2, S4, and S5 remain on, while S1, S3, and S7 remain off, forming a closed conducting loop. DC power supply V in The circuit is powered by S2, S4, S5, and C1, and the combined voltage gain is twice the voltage output, resulting in a 2V inverter output. in Level.
[0065] Figure 5(e) shows the output -2V. in A schematic diagram of the current flow path under level conditions, with S1, S3, S4, and S6 remaining on, and S2 and S5 remaining off.

[0066] Based on the circuit's modes and properties, the voltage across capacitor C1 during charging is similar to that of the power supply V. in The voltages are the same. Under normal operating conditions, the switching transistors in the off state experience a voltage drop from the input source, known as the reverse peak voltage. When switching transistors S1, S2, S5, and S6 are off, the reverse peak voltage across them is equal to the power supply voltage V. in Half of the voltage, the reverse peak voltage of switches S3 and S4 across the power supply is the power supply voltage V. in Voltage.

[0069] To verify the correctness of the theoretical analysis of the proposed low-voltage stress inverter, the proposed topology was simulated using PSIM software. The input source voltage of the topology was 20V, and the same type of components were used in both circuit topologies.

According to the waveform shown, the voltage of capacitor C1 changes with the switching sequence. When the charging voltage reaches its peak voltage, there are no drastic fluctuations or jumps. After reaching a stable state, the voltage gradually decreases during discharging, changing stably within the period, effectively reducing the heat generation of the device.

As can be seen from the inverter output voltage waveform in Figure 9(a) and the inverter output current waveform in Figure 9(b), the inverter in this embodiment achieves a maximum five-level stepped waveform output, with a peak output voltage of 40V and a peak output current of 0.4A. The load current waveform also closely approximates an ideal sinusoidal stepped waveform. The THD of the output current in the current FFT analysis diagram in Figure 9(c) is 16.3%, which meets the requirements within a certain range, fully verifying the feasibility of this circuit achieving five-level output.
