Reliability of multilevel power converters has received increased attention over the past few years, due to the relatively high component failure probability caused by the large number of switching devices utilized in the converter topologies. Thus, the fault-tolerant operation of multilevel converters plays an essential role in safety-critical industrial applications. This paper introduces an improved...
This paper investigates the power cycling lifetime of a three-phase three-level neutral-point-clamped (NPC) inverter used in a 50-kVA adjustable speed drive (ASD). Considering the short lifetime of NPC inverters under low output frequency conditions, an improved discontinuous pulse width modulation (DPWM) method is introduced to extend the inverter lifetime. This improved DPWM method is achieved by...
