This paper presents a thorough study on Five-Level Packed U-Cell inverter called PUC5. The main advantage of PUC5 topology over other popular multilevel ones is the redundant switching states, which facilitate the voltage balancing of the flying capacitor in its configuration. Switching states of the PUC5 inverter are analyzed to ensure an easy voltage balancing process. That voltage controlled auxiliary...
In this paper, a new cascaded nonlinear controller has been designed and implemented on the packed U-cell (PUC) seven-level inverter. The proposed controller has been designed based on a simplified model of PUC inverter and consists of a voltage controller as an outer loop and a current controller as an inner loop. The outer loop regulates the PUC inverter capacitor voltage as the second dc bus. The...
Packed U-Cell (PUC) converter has been introduced as a 7-level converter in early 2008. Since then, different analysis and projects have been performed on, including various applications such as inverter and rectifier, linear and nonlinear voltage controllers. In this paper, authors try to do a detail review on this topology covering all aspects like topology design in single and three-phase, operation...
In this paper the three-phase 7-level Packed U-Cell (PUC) converter has been employed as a shunt active power filter (APF) to compensate the load harmonics in a power network. Using multilevel converter as APF results in generating low distortion waveforms as well as operating in low switching frequency. A PI controller has been used to compensate the load harmonics and to correct the source side...
In this paper a new single-phase five-level buck-boost active rectifier is introduced called capacitor tied switches (CTS). The proposed rectifier has two independent DC outputs that can be connected to two different loads. Different switching states and the average mode of the proposed topology are analyzed to design the associated controller aims at regulating the two output DC voltages, generating...
