One of the more relevant aspects to improve the two-stage microinverter architecture consists on reduce the size of the required decoupling capacitor in order to enable the use of technologies with a greater service life such as thin-film capacitors. However, the diminution of the capacitor size introduces a deterioration of the power quality level at the grid side because the ripple component of...
Multiphase series-connected motor drives can be supplied from a two-level voltage source inverter (VSI), which has either a prime or a composite number of legs (phases). It has been shown recently that, in the case of a prime number of inverter/machine phases, limits of the linear PWM region get extended over those valid for a particular phase number due to the phase transposition applied in the series...
For low-power grid-connected applications, a single-phase converter can be used. In photovoltaic (PV) applications, it is possible to remove the transformer in the inverter to reduce losses, costs, and size. Galvanic connection of the grid and the dc sources in transformerless systems can introduce additional ground currents due to the ground parasitic capacitance. These currents increase conducted...
This paper presents the particularization of a recent multilevel multiphase space vector pulse-width modulation algorithm for three-phase converters. This modulation technique takes advantage of the switching state redundancy, which permits to achieve different goals like extending the modulation index range and reducing the number of switchings. The particularized algorithm is then compared with...
Multilevel technology achieves high power ratings with voltage limited devices. Recently a new space vector pulse-width modulation algorithm for multilevel multiphase voltage source converters with low computational cost has been presented. This algorithm can be used with any number of phases; therefore, it can be also used with classical three-phase topologies. In this paper, the multiphase algorithm...
Four-leg voltage-source converters provide an effective neutral connection in three-phase systems with neutral wire. They can be applied to inverters, rectifiers or active filters to control the neutral current caused by unbalanced or nonlinear loads as well as unbalanced sources. From the modulation point of view, the four-leg converters can be considered as four-phase systems. Hence, the modulation...
