Abstract

This paper presents a novel hybrid multilevel inverter using DC-Link voltage combination in order to improve the waveshape of output voltage and reduce harmonics. The proposed multilevel inverter can generate an 11-level output voltage. It employs three H-bridge cell, which consists of single phase full-bridge inverter module. Among them, two modules are used for level generation, and one module performs PWM switching. Nine levels are synthesised by the level inverter, and two levels are added to output by the PWM inverter. As a result, it generates an 11-level. The operational principles are explained in depth, and the validity of the proposed system is verified through the PSpice simulation and experimental results based on a prototype.

본 논문에서는 고조파를 저감시키고 출력파형 개선을 위한 방법으로 입력측 DC링크 전압의 조합을 이용한 새로운 하이브리드형 멀티레벨 인버터를 제안한다. 제안한 인버터는 단상 풀-브릿지 인버터 모듈로 구성된 3개의 H-bridge cell로 구성되어 있다. 2개의 풀-브릿지 모듈은 레벨생성을 위해 사용되고 나머지 하나의 모듈은 PWM 스위칭 동작에 사용되어진다. 레벨 생성을 위한 인버터에 의해 9레벨이 생성되고 PWM 동작을 위한 인버터에 의해 2레벨이 더해지게 되어 결과적으로 총 11레벨의 출력전압을 생성시킬 수 있다. 제안한 시스템의 기본적인 동작원리를 상세하게 설명하고 PSpice 시뮬레이션과 시작품을 이용한 실험을 통해 타당성을 증명할 수 있었다.
