- Multiphase multilevel drives are important in high power applications, e.g. ship propulsion and wind energy conversion, where future applications of this technology are expected. A novel carrier-based PWM technique for multiphase neutral-point-clamped converters is developed here, which achieves active balancing of the neutral-point voltage. The algorithm benefits from a reduced number of switching transitions and the theory is verified by an experimental study. This work is the main output from a 6-month PhD researcher visit to LJMU (andrea.cervone@unina.it), which has led to the wider research collaboration with the University of Naples Federico II, Italy and subsequent further joint published work.
