A novel neutral point voltage control strategy of three-level NPC converter and its single switch cycle control region analysis

针对三电平中点钳位(neutral point clamped,NPC)变流器中点电压波动问题,分析了三电平变流器基本工作原理,提出了一种适用于任意调制策略的三电平变流器中点电压平衡策略。该策略以输出线电压满足要求为控制目标,根据中点电压的波动情况实时修正调制策略的输出开关状态。鉴于单开关周期完全可控区域的重要意义,本文分别分析了调制策略为正弦脉宽调制(sinusoidal pulse width modulation,SPWM)策略和空间矢量脉宽调制(space vector pulse width modulation,SVPWM)策略时新型中点电压平衡策略的单开关周期完全可控区域。理论分析和仿真结果表明,新型中点电压平衡策略具有普遍适用、实现简单的优点,其单开关周期完全可控区域受调制策略、调制度、运行时间和功率因数的影响。

A novel neutral point （ NP ） voltage control strategy of three - level neutral point clamped （ NPC） converter was proposed to eliminate the NP voltage fluctuation under any modulation strategy. The novel NP voltage control strategy was based on the control target of output line voltage, and real-time correction of output switching states were given according to the NP voltage fluctuation. It is suitable for any modulation strategy as it only deals with the output switching states of any modulation strategy. In order to analyze the control effect of the proposed strategy, the single switch cycle control region was taken as the measurement standard and analysis of fully control region was conducted respectively when using the two most commonly used modulation strategy, sinusoidal pulse width modulation （ SPWM） strategy and space vector pulse width modulation （ SVPWM） . The theoretical analysis and simulation results show that the novel NP voltage control strategy has the advantages of wide application and easy implementation. Whereas, the fully control region of the new strategy is affected by modulation strategy, modulation index and power factor.
