Abstract
Neutral-point-clamped (NPC) power conversion topologies are among the most popular multilevel topologies in current industrial products and in industrial and academic research. The proper operation of multilevel three-phase NPC DC–AC converters requires the use of specific pulse-width modulation (PWM) strategies that maintain the DC-link capacitor voltage balance and concurrently optimize various performance factors such as efficiency and harmonic distortion. Although several such PWM strategies have been proposed in the literature, their formulation is often complex and/or covers only particular cases and operating conditions. This manuscript presents a simple formulation of the original virtual-vector-based PWM, which enables capacitor voltage balance in every switching cycle. The formulation is presented, for the general case, in terms of basic phase voltage modulating signals, with no reference to space vectors, involving any number of levels and for any operating conditions, including the overmodulation region. The equivalence of the presented formulation to the original PWM strategy is demonstrated through simulation under different scenarios and operating conditions. Thus, this manuscript offers in a one-stop source a simple, effective, and comprehensive PWM formulation to operate multilevel three-phase NPC DC–AC converters with any number of levels in any operating condition.
