Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of power electronics technology, and more specifically to a dead-zone-free three-level topology circuit. Background Technology
[0002] Three-level is a commonly used power inverter topology for converting direct current (DC) to alternating current (AC). In a three-level topology, the power switches of each half-bridge inverter can be turned on and off independently, resulting in three distinct output levels: positive, negative, and zero. The positive level is formed by the upper transistor of the upper half-bridge inverter being on and the lower transistor of the lower half-bridge inverter being on; the negative level is formed by the lower transistor of the upper half-bridge inverter being on and the upper transistor of the lower half-bridge inverter being on; and the zero level is formed when both transistors of the two half-bridge inverters are off. By switching between positive and negative levels, the three-level topology can generate an output voltage waveform that approximates an ideal sine wave. Compared to the traditional two-level topology, the three-level topology exhibits lower total harmonic distortion (THD) and higher output quality, thus enabling more efficient and accurate power conversion. It is widely used in industrial drives, electric vehicles, and renewable energy applications.
[0003] Traditional three-level topologies suffer from shoot-through issues in the bridge arms. This leads to unnecessary energy waste and overload of the power switches, while also increasing power system losses and heat. To address this issue, a dead time needs to be added to the drive signal of the bridge arm switching power transistors. However, the dead time introduces low-order harmonics into the bridge arm output voltage, reducing the power quality of the bridge arm output. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a dead-time-free three-level topology circuit, which can eliminate the shoot-through problem of the bridge arm and eliminate the need to add a dead time to the drive signal of the bridge arm switching power transistor, thereby improving the output power quality of the bridge arm.
