Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to a multi-level converter for bidirectional elevator energy recovery. Background Art
[0002] A high-performance elevator converter is extremely crucial for an elevator control system. First, the voltage and current control accuracy of the elevator converter should be high, and high-precision speed regulation of the motor in the elevator drive system should be achieved. Second, the elevator converter should achieve high-efficiency power conversion and reduce its own losses. Third, the elevator converter should be able to achieve bidirectional power flow, that is, power can flow from the DC side to the AC side and also from the AC side to the DC side. In this way, the motor can be driven to work in the electric state, and energy can also be fed back to the power grid when the motor is in the generating state, achieving the purpose of energy conservation and emission reduction.
