Flying Capacitor Multicell (FCM) converters are very interesting alternative for medium voltage and high power applications. The main reason is increase in the number of output voltage levels and its apparent frequency. Balancing of flying capacitors voltages is an important constraint to proper performance of FCM converters. So, observation of these flying capacitors voltages for using in active...
Multilevel converters have emerged as a promising alternative to traditional two level converters, especially flying capacitor converters because of the fact that this topology requires only a main DC-link voltage and presents a easy way to increase the output voltage levels by increasing the number of cells. Unfortunately, a balancing of capacitor voltage is required. Recently, predictive control...
A method for estimating and compensating the zero introduced by the capacitor equivalent series resistance (ESR) in the buck converter transfer function is introduced. The method is well-suited for practical implementation with digital controllers. The ESR zero is estimated by online measurement of the output voltage ripple and the power stage corner frequency. Accordingly, the coefficients of the...
