This paper presents a three-phase cascaded five-level H-bridge quasi-switched boost inverter (CHB-qSBI). The merits of the CHB-qSBI are as follows: single-stage conversion, shoot-through immunity, buck-boost voltage, and reduced passive components. Furthermore, a PWM control method is applied to the CHB-qSBI topology to improve the modulation index. The voltage stress across power semiconductor devices and the capacitor are significantly lower using improved pulse-width modulation (PWM) control. Additionally, by controlling individual shoot-through duty cycle, the DC-link voltage of each module can achieve the same values. As a result, the imbalance problem of the DC-link voltage can be solved. A detailed analysis and operating principle with the modulation scheme and comprehensive comparison for the CHB-qSBI are illustrated. The experimental and simulation results are presented to validate the operating principle of the three-phase CHB-qSBI.

An improved control strategy for three-phase grid-connected inverters with space vector pulse width modulation (SVPWM) is proposed. When the grid current contains harmonics, the d-and q-axes grid currents is interacted in the traditional control method, and the waveform quality of the grid current is poor. As the reference output voltage cannot directly reflect the change of the reference grid current with the traditional control strategy, the dynamic response of the grid-connected inverter is slow. In order to solve the aforementioned problems, the d-and q-axes grid currents in the decoupled components of the grid current controller are substituted by the d-and q-axes reference grid currents, respectively. The operating principles of the traditional and proposed control methods are illustrated. Experimental results show that the grid-connected inverter with the improved control strategy has high waveform quality of the grid current and fast dynamic response.


Smart grid technology can be best utilized by having proper grid supporting equipment. This paper demonstrates the use of a three-phase, 9-level, hybridised cascaded multi-level inverter topology in a smart grid. A pulse width modulation scheme with phase disposition is employed in this inverter to control the firing signals to operate this circuit. These firing signals can be monitored and controlled for optimal usage in smart grid operation. Operational principles with switching equations are described in detail. Crucial voltage identification has been performed by analyzing the THD in output during source shortages by performing Fast Fourier transform analysis. Least THD of 15.82% is attained in the output voltage waveform of the proposed three phase inverter topology.

<p><span>The study made in this paper concerns the use of the voltage-oriented control (VOC) of three-phase pulse width modulation (PWM) rectifier with constant switching frequency. This control method, called voltage-oriented controlwith space vector modulation (VOC-SVM). The proposed control scheme has been founded on the transformation between stationary (α-β) and and synchronously rotating (d-q) coordinate system, it is based on two cascaded control loops so that a fast inner loop controls the grid current and an external loop DC-link voltage, while the DC-bus voltage is maintained at the desired level and ansured the unity power factor operation. So, the stable state performance and robustness against the load’s disturbance of PWM rectifiers are boths improved. The proposed scheme has been implemented and simulated in MATLAB/Simulink environment. The control system of the VOC-SVM strategy has been built based on dSPACE system with DS1104 controller board. The results obtained show the validity of the model and its control method. Compared with the conventional SPWM method, the VOC-SVM ensures high performance and fast transient response.</span></p>

Nowadays Static Synchronous Compensator (STATCOM) has gradually become one of the representative techniques in the field of dynamic reactive power compensation in the power distribution system. This paper analyzed the topology and the voltage imbalance problem of the up and down capacitors on DC side of the three-phase four-wire STATCOM. In allusion to the imbalance problem of neutral point, a novel control strategy based on the control of zero-sequence current was proposed. By the triple close-loop control strategy, the STATCOM can achieve great control accuracy and dynamic performance. Simulation result proves that the proposed control method is effective.
