본 논문에서는 3-레벨 ANPC 방식을 적용하여 하이브리드 자동차에 장착된 IPMSM을 구동하는 인버터를 제안하였다. 3-레벨 ANPC 인버터는 전력 반도체 스위치의 열 분배에 용이하다. 또한 3-레벨 인버터의 경우 dv/dt가 작기 때문에 THD를 감소시켜 출력 필터의 부피와 EMI를 저감 시킬 수 있다. 따라서 자동차의 신뢰성과 안전성을 높일 수 있다. 제안된 논문에서는 2-레벨 인버터와 3-레벨 ANPC 인버터 출력 특성을 분석하고, 스위치 간 온도 특성 분석 및 THD를 시뮬레이션 통하여 비교하였다.

최근 신재생 에너지와 ESS와 같은 분산 전원의 사용이 점차 늘어나면서, 이들을 제어하는 전력 변환 장치에 대한 기대치는 점점 상승하고 있다. 특히 DC 1500V에 대한 요구 및 고 효율, 고 전력밀도에 대한 요구는 최근 Wide band gap 소자의 발전과 함께 산업계 전반에 주요한 이슈이다. 본 논문은 이러한 요구를 만족하기 위한 Hybrid ANPC의 설계를 논하도록 한다. 구성의 정합성을 확인하기 위해, 손실 분석이 진행될 것이며, 최근 SiC 모듈의 발전 방향인 Press-fit type의 설계에 맞춰 Power PCB 설계를 위한 모의 실험을 진행한다.

Several multilevel converter topologies have been proposed and compared. The three-level (3L) neutral-point-clamped (NPC) topology is promising and widely accepted. However, this topology suffers from uneven loss distribution among switches due to its fixed switching strategy. The 3L active NPC (ANPC) topology, which exhibits improved loss distribution profile, was proposed to address this disadvantage. The 3L T-NPC topology, a hybrid configuration of 2L and 3L NPC topologies, was introduced to address not only the loss distribution problem but also the reduction in the number of switches. In the present research, the application of these three topologies in PMSG-based medium-voltage wind turbines was investigated. The power devices considered were 10 kV IGCTs. Performance was evaluated in terms of a power loss of 10 kV IGCT for each NPC topology, which is a crucial indicator of thermal behavior, reliability, cost, and lifetime of any converter. The comparison was performed using ABB make 10 kV IGCT 5SHY17L9000 and the simulation tool PLECS.

This work presents methods for reducing overshoot voltages across the drain-source of silicon carbide (SiC) MOSFETs in grid-connected hybrid active neutral-point-clamped (ANPC) inverters. Compared with 3-level NPC-type inverter, the hybrid ANPC inverter can realize the high efficiency. However, SiC MOSFETs conduct its switching operation at high frequencies, which cause high overshoot voltages in such devices. These overshoot voltages should be reduced because they may damage switching devices and result in electromagnetic interference (EMI). Two major strategies are used to reduce the overshoot voltages, namely, adjusting the gate resistor and using a snubber capacitor. In this paper, advantages and disadvantages of these methods will be discussed. The effectiveness of these strategies is verified by experimental results.

This paper proposes a new hybrid five-level voltage-source inverter topology, based on the conventional five-level active neutral-point-clamped topology (5L-ANPC), where the lower number of switching devices is required, resulting in saving the cost. The operating principle and control method of the proposed topology is described. The comparison of THD, power losses, loss distribution, and cost of components are evaluated among the proposed topology, the 5L-ANPC and 5L-DCI (diode-clamped inverters) topology.
