Abstract
The Neutral point clamped (NPC) inverter has unbalancing problems of neutral point voltage and DC link capacitors voltages, generally dc link capacitor voltage unbalance leads to neutral point voltage unbalance. In this paper neutral point voltage is balanced using sine PWM associated with phase shift technique. But for NPC inverters with more than three level even though neutral point voltage is balanced dc link capacitor voltages are unbalanced and neutral point voltage varies with a wide range, Hence a control strategy is proposed in this paper for controlling both problems and is applied for NPC three level, five level, seven level and nine level inverter. Simulation results are presented to show effectiveness of proposed equalizing control circuits. Total harmonic distortion (THD) values are observed for the developed control technique.
