چکیده
For medium voltage, high power applications 3-phase neutral point clamped AC-DC multilevel converters are becoming a good choice. In this paper the performance of a 3-phase neutral point clamped Active Front End three level converter for high power application with simplified control scheme is presented. A complete mathematical model of the control scheme is developed and performance is investigated for balanced load in terms of voltage unbalance across dc link, voltage stress across the switches and THD in the line current.

This paper presents the hybrid seven-level cascaded active neutral-point-clamped (ANPC)-based multilevel converter. The converter topology is the cascaded connection of a three-level ANPC converter and an H-bridge per phase. The proposed topology provides a tradeoff between different component counts to achieve a good loss distribution, avoid direct series connection of semiconductor devices, k...

Abstract Traditional railway power supply systems impose substantial power quality problems (PQ) on the utility network, such as unbalance, harmonics and a large amount of reactive power. This paper proposes a topology based on three-phase to single-phase modular multilevel converters (MMC) to obviate these problems. The MMC based traction substations (TSS) are connected directly to the utili...
متن کاملLoss Balancing in Three-level Active-neutral-point-clamped Converter
The 3L-NPC (Neutral-Point-Clamped) is the most popular multilevel converter used in high-power medium-voltage applications. An important disadvantage of this structure is the unequal distribution of losses among the switches. The performances of 3L-NPC structure were improved by developing the 3L-ANPC (Active-NPC) converter which has more degrees of freedom. In this paper the switching states a...
