摘要
This paper proposes a control strategy of a three -phase five-level double converter for induction motor drives. The converter consists of the five-level NPC rectifier, DC link, and the five-level NPC inverter. In this control strategy, the DC link voltages are controlled by using a closed loop with an optimized stabilization system called clamping bridge. It provides a fast and flexible control of the converter capacitor voltage. This method will redress the imbalance of DC link voltage. This control strategy is completely independent from the load control, leading to a simpler implementation. The three-phase five-level NPC rectifier-inverter system is an ideal interface between a utility and renewable energy sources such as photovoltaic or wind generator.
