摘要

The five-level active neutral point clamped (5L-ANPC) converter has great potential for medium-voltage high-power applications. However, the effect of the system computational time-delay is not considered in existing flying-capacitor (FC) voltage balance methods. This computational time-delay can lead to flying-capacitor over-charge and over-discharge problems. To solve these problems, the processes of flying-capacitor over-charge and over-discharge are theoretically analyzed and a delay compensation strategy is proposed. With this strategy, the problem of FC over-charge and over-discharge can be effectively overcome. Finally, simulation and experimental results are presented to validate the effectiveness of the proposed strategy.
