A soft-switching three-level inverter (S3L inverter) is a high-efficiency power electronic inverter intended, in particular, for use with three-phase drives, as a grid-tie inverter for photovoltaic installations or wind turbines and in power supplies. [1] The topology was developed in 2009 at HTWG Konstanz (Constance University of Applied ...
A three-level neutral-clamped inverter is shown in Figure 10. Control methods for a three-level inverter only allow two switches of the four switches in each leg to simultaneously change conduction states. This allows smooth commutation and avoids shoot through by only selecting valid states. [18]
A multi-level converter (MLC) or (multi-level inverter) is a method of generating high-voltage wave-forms from lower-voltage components. MLC origins go back over a hundred years, when in the 1880s, the advantages of DC long-distance transmission became evident. [1] Modular multi-level converters (MMC) were investigated by Tricoli et al in 2017.
3-phase inverter switching circuit showing 6-step switching sequence and waveform of voltage between terminals A and C (2 3 − 2 states) To construct inverters with higher power ratings, two six-step three-phase inverters can be connected in parallel for a higher current rating or in series for a higher voltage rating.
Filtering and damping high-frequency bearing can be done though inserting soft magnetic cores over the three phases giving a high frequency impedance against the common mode or motor bearing currents. Another approach is to use instead of standard 2-level inverter drives, using either 3-level inverter drives or matrix converters. [88] [89]
Fig 2: Topology of (regenerative) voltage-source inverter AC/DC-AC converter [3] Fig 3: Topology of current-source inverter AC/DC-AC converter [4] [5] There are two types of converters with DC link: Voltage-source inverter (VSI) converters (Fig. 2): In VSI converters, the rectifier consists of a diode-bridge and the DC link consists of a shunt ...
Fig. 2: Top and bottom views of an air-cooled 10kW-Vienna Rectifier (400kHz PWM). The Vienna Rectifier is useful wherever six-switch converters are used for achieving sinusoidal mains current and controlled output voltage, when no energy feedback from the load into the mains is available.
Neutral point clamped (NPC) inverters are widely used topology of multilevel inverters in high-power applications. This kind of inverters are able to be used for up to several megawatts applications. See links for more information. [1] [2]
