Abstract

This paper work exploits a new dual open-winding three-phase multilevel inverter configuration suitable for high power medium-voltage applications. Modular structure comprised of standard three-phase voltage source inverter (VSI) along with one additional bi-directional semiconductor device (MOSFET/IGBT) per phase and two capacitors with neutral point. Hence, introduces the additional voltage levels in each phase of the VSI. Further, this paper developed a modified single carrier five-level modulation (MSCFM) scheme in such way to overcome the complexity of standard space vector modulations, ready for implementation purpose. Proposed dual-inverter configuration generates multilevel outputs with benefit includes reduced THD and dv/dt in comparison to other dual-inverter topologies. Complete model of the multilevel ac drive is developed with simple MSCFM modulation in Matlab/PLECs numerical software. Preliminary results are provided in this paper confirm the suitability of investigation for real implementation.
