In this article, a hybrid control law is proposed for the three-phase three-level Neutral Point Clamped (NPC) converter working as a rectifier in order to regulate the output DC voltage. The control problem deals with the unbalance capacitor voltages as well as the phase currents. The proposed algorithm is based on the Hybrid Dynamical System theory, which takes into account the hybrid nature of the NPC converter, i.e., the continuous and discrete dynamics, ensuring uniform global asymptotic stability of the operating point. Finally, the effectiveness of the proposed control algorithm is validated in simulation. Index Terms-Three-phase three-level neutral point clamped converter, rectifier, hybrid dynamical system, nonlinear time-varying system.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
