Description

Technical Field

[0002] Compared to traditional two-level inverters, multi-level inverters have an output waveform that is closer to a sine wave. They have advantages such as low total harmonic distortion, low loss, and low electromagnetic interference. They are now widely used in fields such as motor drives, new energy power generation, high-voltage transmission systems, and power quality control.

Among these, diode-clamped and flying capacitor multilevel inverters contain a large number of switching devices and energy storage components, and their capacitor voltage self-balancing capability is poor, requiring auxiliary circuitry to achieve capacitor voltage balancing. Furthermore, neither of these two types of multilevel inverters has boost capability and cannot generate AC output with an amplitude higher than the input DC voltage, thus limiting their application in low-voltage input situations.

The first node a is connected to the DC power supply U. in The negative terminal, voltage u ao =-U in ; Inductor L is connected in parallel with DC power supply U in Energy is stored at both ends, with current i L Linear rise, capacitor C open circuit, inverter output voltage u o =u ao -u bo =-U in ; Working Mode Six: In the left bridge arm, switches S1 and S2 are turned on, while switches S3 and S4 are turned off. The second node b is connected to the positive terminal of capacitor C, and the voltage u bo =U in ; In the right bridge arm, switches S7 and S8 are turned on, while switches S5 and S6 are turned off. The first node a is connected to the DC power supply U. in The negative terminal, voltage u ao =-U in ; Inductor L is connected in parallel with DC power supply U in Energy is stored at both ends, with current i L The inverter output voltage u rises linearly. o =u ao -u bo =-2U in ; Working Mode 7: In the left bridge arm, switches S1 and S2 are turned on, while switches S3 and S4 are turned off. The second node b is connected to the positive terminal of capacitor C, and the voltage u bo =U in ; In the right bridge arm, switches S6 and S7 are turned on, while switches S5 and S8 are turned off. The first node a and the third node o are shorted to switch S6 via clamping diode D3 or to switch S7 via clamping diode D4. The voltage u... ao =0; When the two ends of inductor L are shorted, the current i L The inverter output voltage u remains unchanged. o =u ao -u bo =-U in .
