Abstract
This article presents two single-phase to single-phase three-wire converters based on two-level and three-level neutral-point-clamped legs. The converters present a shared-leg between the grid and load. A space-vector pulsewidth modulation technique considering the harmonic distortion and the semiconductor losses is presented, besides the dc-link voltage-balance technique to balance the neutral-point voltage. The converters can supply the loads with constant amplitude and frequency under grid voltage disturbances. These characteristics make the proposed converters suitable for applications as uninterrupted power supply. The proposed converters are compared to a conventional two-level converter from simulated results for evaluating the semiconductor losses and harmonic distortion. The experimental results are provided to illustrate and validate the operation of the proposed systems.
