[0052] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention more clear, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention are clearly and completely described. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of them. All other embodiments derived by persons of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without inventive effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0053] It should be noted that, for the sake of convenience, the switch IGBT is used to represent the controllable (on and off) switch tube in the embodiment of the present invention, but the switch tube in the present invention is not limited to IGBT. Take IGBT as an example for explanation. The first end of the IGBT refers to the collector, the second end refers to the emitter, and the control end refers to the gate. A driving control signal is applied to the control end of each switch tube in the embodiment of the present invention. For the sake of brevity, it will not be described in detail later. The power switch tube in the embodiment of the present invention can also be implemented by other controllable switch tube devices other than IGBT, such as MOSFET. At the same time, in order to ensure the normal operation of each switching device in the embodiment of the present invention, a freewheeling diode needs to be connected in parallel to each switching device. The parallel direction of the freewheeling diode is related to the type of the switching device. The technician can set it according to the type of the switching device, which is not limited here. If not specified, the switching device defaults to including a freewheeling diode, which will be pointed out in this embodiment in special cases.

[0054] The embodiments of the present application provide a low-cost three-phase five-level rectifier, thereby solving the technical problem of a large number of active devices used in existing three-phase multi-level rectifiers, saving active devices and reducing device costs.

[0055] The technical solution in the embodiments of the present application is to solve the above technical problems, and the overall idea is as follows:

[0056] Multi-level rectifiers show certain potential in the field of new energy. 1) Higher voltage and power levels can be provided; 2) the harmonic performance of the converter can be further improved, and the power factor can be improved; 3) various losses of power devices in the topology can be reduced, and the switching frequency and voltage stress of the devices can be reduced; 4) under the premise of ensuring power, the voltage in the system is increased and the current in the system is reduced, thereby solving the problems of large current, high loss, difficult power distribution and high voltage stress of devices in the design of high-power chargers, so multi-level rectifiers have attracted widespread attention. More and more multi-level rectifiers are applied to medium, high voltage or high power occasions, for example, in the megawatt-level high-power alternating current driver, a multi-level rectifier in series with a multi-level rectifier is used; in the application of electric aircraft, more than three multi-level rectifiers are also favored.

[0057] Figures 1 to 4 Four traditional five-level rectifier structures are shown. Figure 1 For a Vienna-type multi-level rectifier, Figure 2 For a diode-clamped multi-level rectifier, Figure 3 For a flying capacitor multi-level rectifier, Figure 4 For a hybrid multi-level rectifier.

[0058] The traditional three-phase multi-level rectifier topology is composed of three single-phase multi-level rectifiers, and the number of power devices in the three-phase rectifier topology is three times that of the single-phase rectifier. For example, a three-phase five-level diode-clamped rectifier topology composed of three single-phase diode-clamped five-level rectifiers includes 18 switching devices and 24 diodes; a three-phase five-level flying capacitor rectifier topology composed of three single-phase flying capacitor five-level rectifier topologies includes 18 switching devices, 6 diodes and 6 floating capacitors; a three-phase five-level hybrid five-level rectifier topology composed of three single-phase hybrid five-level rectifier topologies includes 18 switching devices, 6 diodes and 3 floating capacitors; therefore, the total cost of the devices is relatively high. In high-voltage and high-power applications, the cost of active devices accounts for a higher proportion of the total cost of the devices, and this disadvantage is more prominent. Secondly, the above-mentioned part of the topology cannot realize self-balancing control of the bus voltage dividing capacitor and the floating capacitor, and in actual application, an additional balancing circuit is needed, which undoubtedly increases the cost of the devices and reduces the power density.

[0059] To solve the above problems, an embodiment of the present application is a low-cost three-phase five-level rectifier, compared with the traditional three-phase five-level diode-clamped rectifier, the new low-cost three-phase five-level rectifier saves 8 active switching devices and 14 diodes while ensuring the quality of the output waveform, and at the same time, the rectifier does not need an additional capacitor balancing circuit, effectively reducing the cost of the devices.
