This work presents a novel hybrid three-phase multilevel inverter that employs a three-phase Neutral Point Clamped converter and single-phase Half-Bridge cells in a particular cascade connection. Its cascaded structure allows its application in medium-voltage applications with low voltage semiconductors. The inverter operation is analyzed and can lead to a 5, 7 or 9 level structure. A hybrid modulation scheme for the operation with five levels at the output phase voltage is proposed, which leads to unidirectional power flow in all dc sources and, thus, eases the implementation. The proposed structure and modulation scheme are analyzed and explained in details and simulation and experimental results are provided to verify the presented analysis.
This paper presents the current stress on semiconductors of three phase Z-Source Inverter applying Simple Boost Modulation. The Z-Source Inverter employs a unique impedance network that applies step-up DC-DC and DC-AC functions at single stage. For this reason, this inverter is an interesting option on photovoltaic system. It will be presented the operation stages of the inverter with Simple Boost Modulation to understand the development of the average and rms current equations of the semiconductors. The boost stage is defined by a new stage known as shoot-through, in which, both semiconductor of the same leg is commanded to conduct at the same time. This behavior changes a lot the current waveforms, demanding a complex effort calculation. To validate the calculations, theoretical results were compared with results from simulation. Also, it was obtained the Artigo submetido em 15/01/2016. Primeira revisão em 21/04/2016.
