Abstract
An asymmetric three-level neutral point diode clamped converter for switched reluctance motor drives is proposed in this paper. The modulation method, the dc-link voltage balancing algorithm, and the current control scheme of this converter are presented. The proposed three-level converter is compared with the conventional two-level asymmetric half-bridge converter in terms of cost, current ripple, noise, and power losses. Compared to the conventional two-level converter, the proposed three-level converter has much lower current ripple, lower noise, and higher efficiency. The effectiveness of the proposed converter is verified by both simulation and experimental results.
