[0050] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand and implement the technical solutions provided in the embodiments of this application, the topology of the active neutral-point clamped three-level inverter will be described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0051] See Figure 1A This figure is a schematic diagram of an active neutral-point clamped three-level inverter provided in an embodiment of this application.

[0052] For ease of description, the following description uses only a single-phase topology of the ANPC. It should be understood that the ANPC can also be three-phase, and the three-phase topology is the same. The active neutral-point clamped three-level inverter provided in this application includes: a switching bridge arm and a neutral-point clamping transistor.

[0053] The switch bridge arm includes a first switch transistor T1, a second switch transistor T2, a third switch transistor T3, and a fourth switch transistor T4 connected in series. The first end of the first switch transistor T1 is connected to the positive DC terminal, the second end of the first switch transistor T1 is connected to the first end of the second switch transistor T2, the second end of the second switch transistor T2 is connected to the first end of the third switch transistor T3, the second end of the third switch transistor T3 is connected to the first end of the fourth switch transistor T4, and the second end of the fourth switch transistor T4 is connected to the negative DC terminal.

[0054] In this configuration, the first terminal of the first capacitor C1 is connected to the positive DC terminal, the second terminal of the first capacitor C1 is connected to the midpoint O (i.e., neutral point O), the first terminal of the second capacitor C2 is connected to the midpoint O, and the second terminal of the second capacitor C2 is connected to the negative DC terminal.

[0055] The midpoint clamping transistors include a fifth switch T5 and a sixth switch T6. The first terminal of the fifth switch T5 is connected to the common terminal of the first switch T1 and the second switch T2, and the second terminal of the fifth switch T5 is connected to the midpoint O. The first terminal of the sixth switch T6 is connected to the midpoint O, and the second terminal of the sixth switch T6 is connected to the common terminal of the third switch T3 and the fourth switch T4. Switches T5-T6 also have anti-parallel diodes, namely D1-D6.

[0056] To facilitate understanding, the three-level circuit is explained below with reference to the accompanying diagram. The three-level circuit includes +1, 0, and -1.

[0057] See Figure 1B The figure is a schematic diagram of an ANPC with a level of +1 provided in an embodiment of this application.

[0058] from Figure 1B It can be seen that when T1 and T2 are on, the ANPC level is +1. If T6 is also on when T1 and T2 are on, then T6 is in a meaningless on-state, with no current flowing through it. This unnecessarily increases the on-time of T6, increasing its losses and heat generation. Moreover, the ANPC's control over T6 increases control complexity and wastes the controller's control logic.

[0059] See Figure 1C The figure is a schematic diagram of an ANPC with a voltage level of 0 provided in an embodiment of this application.

[0060] from Figure 1CIt can be seen that when T5 and T2 are on, the level of ANPC is 0. If T4 is also on when T5 and T2 are on, then T4 is in a meaningless on state, with no current flowing through it. This unnecessarily increases the on-time of T4, increasing its power loss and heat generation.

[0061] See Figure 1D The figure is a schematic diagram of an ANPC with a level of -1 provided in an embodiment of this application.

[0062] from Figure 1D It can be seen that when T3 and T4 are on, the level of ANPC is -1. If T5 is also on when T3 and T4 are on, then T5 is in a meaningless on state, with no current flowing through it. This unnecessarily increases the on-time of T5, increasing its power loss and heat generation.

[0063] As shown in the diagram above, a 0-level signal corresponds only to the 0+ state, not the 0- state. The 0- state means that T6 and T3 are turned on, while other switches are turned off. Furthermore, in traditional technology, T6 is never turned on and hardly flows any current, so it does not heat up. However, T5 operates more frequently, and its losses and heat generation are greater than T6's. Therefore, it is prone to uneven switching losses and heat generation, posing a risk of overheating failure.

[0064] To make the above-mentioned objectives, features and advantages of this application more apparent and understandable, the embodiments of this application will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.

[0065] See Figure 2 This figure is a schematic diagram of another type of ANPC provided in the embodiments of this application.

[0066] In this embodiment of the application, in order to balance the conduction time and power consumption of each switch, the controller controls the switching state of each switch, so that the ANPC operates in the +1, 0+, 0- and -1 level states.

[0067] The active midpoint clamped three-level inverter provided in this application embodiment includes: a switching bridge arm, a midpoint clamping transistor, and a controller 100.

[0068] The switch bridge arm includes a first switch tube T1, a second switch tube T2, a third switch tube T3, and a fourth switch tube T4 connected in series; the midpoint clamping tube includes a fifth switch tube T5 and a sixth switch tube T6; the first end of the fifth switch tube T5 is connected to the common end of the first switch tube T1 and the second switch tube T2, and the second end of the fifth switch tube T5 is connected to the midpoint O; the first end of the sixth switch tube T6 is connected to the midpoint O, and the second end of the sixth switch tube T6 is connected to the common end of the third switch tube T3 and the fourth switch tube T4.

[0069] The controller 100 is used to control the switching transistors and the midpoint clamping transistors of the switching bridge arm, so that the inverter level includes level 0+ and level 0- within a single modulation wave cycle; 0+ means that the fifth switching transistor T5 and the second switching transistor T2 are turned on, and 0- means that the sixth switching transistor T6 and the fourth switching transistor T4 are turned on.

[0070] This application does not specifically limit the exact timing of the occurrence of 0+ and 0-. They can occur simultaneously, or separately in the first and second halves of the cycle. For example, the controller 100 controls the switching transistors and midpoint clamping transistors of the switching bridge arm, so that the inverter's voltage level includes both 0+ and 0- in the first half of the cycle, i.e., the fifth switch T5, the second switch T2, the sixth switch T6, and the fourth switch T4 are simultaneously turned on, while the other switches are turned off. The second half of the cycle includes both 0+ and 0-, i.e., the fifth switch T5, the second switch T2, the sixth switch T6, and the fourth switch T4 are simultaneously turned on, while the other switches are turned off. Alternatively, the controller can control the switching transistors and midpoint clamping transistors of the switching bridge arm, so that the inverter's voltage level includes 0+ in the first half of the cycle and 0- in the second half of the cycle.

[0071] For a better understanding of the 0- state, please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 3 0- means that T6 and T3 are turned on, and all other switches are turned off. In order to balance the conduction time of T5 and T6, the ANPC provided in this application embodiment not only has a level 0+, but also a level 0-.

[0072] The ANPC provided in this application embodiment has a level 0+ state and a level 0- state in a single cycle. Since the fifth and second switches are turned on in the 0+ state and the sixth and third switches are turned on in the 0- state, the sixth switch is not always off. This solution can achieve a balance in the on-time of the fifth and sixth switches, and will not result in a situation where one switch overheats severely while another does not, thereby protecting each switch and reducing the risk of thermal failure.

[0073] To prevent T6 from being in a meaningless conduction state, this application forces T6 to turn off when T2 is on. To prevent T4 from being in a meaningless conduction state, this application forces T4 to turn off when T2 is on. To prevent T5 from being in a meaningless conduction state, this application forces T5 to turn off when T3 is on.

[0074] For ease of description, the following description uses the dual-modulation wave modulation method of the ANPC provided in the embodiment of this application.

[0075] See Figure 4 The figure shows the waveform of the three-phase original modulation wave of ANPC.

[0076] Taking ANPC as an example of a three-phase inverter, Figure 4 The diagram shows the three-phase original modulation waves, which are generally sine waves and can be referred to as the three-phase sinusoidal modulation waves Ua, Ub, and Uc. They can be represented by the following expressions.

[0077] U x (x = a, b, c represent phases A, B, and C)

[0078]

[0079] In the formula, Um represents the phase voltage amplitude, and ω represents the angular frequency. Indicates phase.

[0080] The dual-modulation wave is obtained by taking the maximum and minimum values ​​of the three-phase original modulation wave. To facilitate understanding of the dual-modulation wave, the maximum and minimum values ​​of the three-phase original modulation wave are introduced below.

[0081] See Figure 5 The figure shows the waveforms of the maximum and minimum values ​​of the three-phase original modulated wave.

[0082] Figure 5 The image shown is from Figure 4 The waveforms corresponding to the maximum and minimum values ​​of the three-phase original modulated wave are obtained.

[0083] Three-phase original modulation wave U x The maximum value U in (x = a, b, c) max =Max(U a U b U c ), minimum value U min =Min(U a U b U c ).

[0084] See Figure 6 The figure shows a waveform of a dual-modulation wave provided in this application.

[0085] Dual-modulated waves include up-modulated wave U xpos and downmodulated wave U xneg The upper and lower modulated waves are obtained from the three-phase original modulated waves and their corresponding maximum and minimum values, which can be derived from the minimum value U. min It can also be determined by the maximum value U. max get, Figure 6 The upmodulated wave shown is composed of the three-phase original modulated wave and the minimum value U. min The down-modulated wave is obtained by combining the three-phase original modulated wave and the maximum value U. max You can obtain it using the following expression.

[0086]

[0087] See Figure 7 The figure shows a waveform of another dual-modulation wave provided in this application.

[0088] Figure 7 The upper modulated wave shown is composed of the three-phase original modulated wave and the maximum value U. max The downmodulated wave is obtained by combining the three-phase original modulated wave and the minimum value U. min You can obtain it using the following expression.

[0089]

[0090] For ease of explanation, the following will use... Figure 6 The modulation method provided in this application is illustrated using the dual-modulation wave as an example.

[0091] To facilitate the analysis of the original modulated wave and the dual modulated wave, the original modulated wave, the upmodulated wave, and the downmodulated wave are placed in the same figure.

[0092] See Figure 8 The figure shows the waveforms of the original modulated wave and the dual modulated wave provided in this application.

[0093] Taking phase A as an example, when the original modulation wave U of phase A... a When U ≥ 0, it is called the upper half-cycle region; when U a When <0, it is called the lower half of the cycle region.

[0094] The ANPC provided in this application introduces a division of the upper half-cycle region and the lower half-cycle region based on the original modulation wave.

[0095] For ease of understanding, the following will use... Figure 6 The dual-modulation scheme shown illustrates the level state of the ANPC in this application within one cycle.

[0096] See Figure 9 The figure is a level state diagram of an ANPC using dual modulation waves provided in an embodiment of this application.

[0097] Figure 9 It can be seen that within a cycle, the first half of the cycle is divided into regions 3, 1, and 3. The second half of the cycle is divided into regions 4, 2, and 4.

[0098] use Figure 6 The dual-modulation waveform shown specifically involves controller 110 controlling the switching transistors and midpoint clamping transistors of the switching bridge arm, causing the inverter's voltage level to exhibit a first voltage level transition state in the first half-cycle and a second voltage level transition state in the second half-cycle. The first voltage level transition states sequentially include: +1, 0+, -1, 0+, and +1; the second voltage level transition states sequentially include: +1, 0-, -1, 0-, and +1.

[0099] The first level transition state corresponds to Figure 9 Region 3 in the middle corresponds to the second level transition state. Figure 9 Region 4 in the middle.

[0100] The controller 110 is used to control the switching transistors and the midpoint clamping transistors of the switching bridge arm, so that the inverter level in the first half cycle includes a first level transition state, a third level transition state, and a first level transition state in sequence; the third level transition state includes +1, 0+, and +1 in sequence.

[0101] The third level transition state corresponds to Figure 9 Region 1 in the middle.

[0102] use Figure 6 In the dual-modulation wave mode shown, specifically, the controller 110 is used to control the first switch T1 or the sixth switch T6 in the first half-cycle according to the comparison result of the carrier wave and the up-modulation wave in the dual-modulation wave. The switching state of the fourth switch T4 is complementary to that of the first switch T1, and the switching state of the sixth switch T6 is complementary to that of the fifth switch T5. The controller 110 controls the second switch T2 according to the comparison result of the carrier wave and the down-modulation wave in the dual-modulation wave. The switching state of the third switch T3 is complementary to that of the second switch T2.

Since it's inconvenient for the controller to process negative numbers, the down-modulated wave is converted to a positive number for processing. uapos represents the up-modulated wave of phase A. The triangular wave is the carrier wave. The modulated wave is compared with the carrier wave, and the state of each switch is controlled based on the comparison result.

Figure 7 The dual-modulation wave shown is used to modulate the drive signals of each switching transistor. Utilizing... Figure 7When using the dual-modulation wave control shown, specifically, controller 110 controls the switching transistors and midpoint clamping transistors of the switching bridge arm, causing the inverter's level to exhibit a fifth-level transition state in the first half-cycle and a sixth-level transition state in the second half-cycle. The fifth-level transition states sequentially include: -1, 0+, +1, 0+, and -1; the sixth-level transition states sequentially include: -1, 0-, +1, 0-, and -1. The controller controls the switching transistors and midpoint clamping transistors of the switching bridge arm, causing the inverter's level to sequentially include a fifth-level transition state, a seventh-level transition state, and a fifth-level transition state in the first half-cycle; the seventh-level transition state sequentially includes: 0+, +1, and 0+. The controller controls the switching transistors and midpoint clamping transistors of the switching bridge arm, causing the inverter's level to sequentially include a sixth-level transition state, an eighth-level transition state, and a sixth-level transition state in the second half-cycle; the eighth-level transition state sequentially includes: -1, 0-, and -1.

[0116] The following section, with reference to the accompanying diagram, introduces another method for implementing double-adjusted waveforms.

[0117] See Figure 14A This figure is another level state diagram of ANPC using dual modulation waves provided in an embodiment of this application.

[0118] Figure 14A It can be seen that within a cycle, the first half of the cycle is divided into regions 3, 1, and 3. The second half of the cycle is divided into regions 4, 2, and 4.

[0119] See Figure 14B The image is Figure 14A A schematic diagram of the modulation method for the corresponding region 1.

[0120] from Figure 14B As can be seen, region 1 includes two voltage levels, 0+ and +1, corresponding to the seventh voltage level transition states, namely 0+, +1, and 0+. 0+ corresponds to T5 and T2 being on while the other switches are off. +1 corresponds to T2 and T1 being on while the other switches are off.

[0121] See Figure 14C The image is Figure 14A A schematic diagram of the modulation method for the corresponding region 3.

[0122] from Figure 14C As can be seen, region 3 includes three voltage levels: -1, 0+, and +1, corresponding to the fifth voltage level transition state, namely -1, 0+, +1, 0+, and -1 in sequence. -1 corresponds to T3 and T4 being on while the other switches are off. 0+ corresponds to T2 and T5 being on while the other switches are off. +1 corresponds to T1 and T2 being on while the other switches are off.

[0125] See Figure 14E The image is Figure 14A A schematic diagram of the modulation method for the corresponding region 2.

[0126] from Figure 14E As can be seen, region 2 includes two voltage levels, 0- and -1, corresponding to the eighth voltage level transition states, namely -1, 0-, and -1. 0- corresponds to T3 and T6 being on while the other switches are off. -1 corresponds to T3 and T4 being on while the other switches are off.

[0127] from Figures 10-14E The conduction status of each switch shown demonstrates that the ANPC provided in this embodiment includes both 0+ and 0- throughout the entire cycle, and there are no switches that conduct without meaning. For example, when T2 is on, T4 and T6 are forcibly turned off. When T3 is on, T1 and T5 are forcibly turned off. This embodiment can achieve balanced conduction of each switch, thereby ensuring even heating of each switch and preventing some switches from remaining off while others conduct for excessively long periods. This reduces the risk of thermal failure caused by uneven heating.

[0128] Based on the active neutral-point clamped three-level inverter provided in the above embodiments, this application also provides a control method for the active neutral-point clamped three-level inverter, which will be described in detail below.

[0130] The method includes controlling the switching transistors and midpoint clamping transistors of the switching bridge arm so that the inverter level includes level 0+ and level 0- within a single modulation wave cycle; 0+ refers to the fifth and second switching transistors being turned on, and 0- refers to the sixth and fourth switching transistors being turned on.

[0131] The ANPC provided in this application embodiment has a level 0+ state in the first half cycle and a level 0- state in the second half cycle. Since the fifth and second switches are turned on in the 0+ state and the sixth and third switches are turned on in the 0- state, the sixth switch is not always off. This scheme can achieve a balance in the conduction time of the fifth and sixth switches, and will not result in a situation where one switch overheats severely while another does not, thereby protecting each switch and reducing the risk of thermal failure.

[0139] It should be understood that Figures 9-13 Only Figure 6 The control method shown is based on the dual-modulation wave example. Additionally, it can also utilize... Figure 7 The dual-modulation wave shown is used to modulate the drive signals of each switching transistor. Utilizing...
