Can a three-level NPC inverter have natural DC-link voltage balancing?
For the three-level NPC inverter with a natural balancing ability, the relatively simple carrier-based switching strategy can be used. Natural DC-link voltage balancing of four-level inverters is more complex than three-level ones. It is investigated in this paper in a single-phase full bridge inverter (4L-FBCLD), which is presented in Fig. 1.
What is a single-phase neutral point clamped (NPC) inverter?
A single-phase Neutral Point Clamped (NPC) inverter is a type of power electronic converter that converts DC to AC A single-phase Neutral Point Clamped (NPC) inverter is a type of power electronic converter that converts direct current (DC) to alternating current (AC) with the added benefit of reducing voltage stress on the switching devices.
What are the different types of NPC inverters?
NPC inverters can be found on the market together with a flying-capacitor and other topologies, mostly in three levels. They can all be attractive to customers because of their indicators. The four-level inverters, such as the flying capacitor, have been analysed in research literature for many years.
Can a single-phase NPC inverter with one-leg clamping pulse width modulation improve efficiency?
In this article, a single-phase IT-type NPC inverter with one-leg clamping pulse width modulation (OLC-PWM) is proposed for efficiency and reliability improvements. The proposed IT-type NPC inverter with OLC-PWM can improve the efficiency by taking the advantages of I-type and T-type NPC inverters regarding the power loss.
Is NPC a good inverter?
Considering target implementations and some indicators, the NPC inverter can offer more favourable solutions than other inverters, such as, for example the modular multilevel converter . An increase of the NPC converter modulation to four levels [5 - 15] or higher [16 - 23] is favourable for voltage stress on switches and output voltage quality.
What is a bidirectional switch in a NPC inverter?
In this topology, the bidirectional switch arrangement consists of four diodes and one IGBT switch. This arrangement inherently increases conduction losses of topology. Generally, any NPC inverter topology suffers from a DC-link capacitor voltage (DCL-CV) balancing issue.
