First, a three-phase three-level converter with only one capacitor is proposed. Second, a modulation strategy with predictive capacitor-voltage control is proposed to stabilize the capacitor voltage at half of the DC-source voltage and regulate the output-voltage trace reference.
HVAC 3-PHASE CAPACITOR BANKS Designing capacitor banks starts with basic information collection with respect to facility and immediate utility network characteristics. Network rated voltage, operating voltage, frequency, and short circuit availability are necessary for proper capacitor bank design.
If more than one phase has to achieve level 1 output voltage, the switching state of relevant phases is imposed by the current sense in the capacitor branch in order to ensure the FC voltage regulation. What's more, branch current can be an addition of one, two, or three phases currents.
This paper presented a novel three-phase, three-level flying capacitor converter (FCC) that innovatively incorporates only one capacitor, representing a significant advancement over conventional FCC designs, which typically rely on multiple capacitors.
In three-phase, 27 combinations of voltage possibilities are reachable but the three options avoid all the combinations including a level 2 and a level 0, that is, 15 combinations over 27. Converter operation is then impossible. First option of 3L-FC sharing common part (not working). 3L-FC, three-level flying capacitor.
Ebrahimi et al. improved upon the conventional three-phase FCC and proposed a novel modulation strategy to output a four-level voltage with only three capacitors . However, this scheme can only be used in four-level FCCs, and its application is limited.
