Abstract

To reduce the device number per unit level of the existing nine-level inverters, a topology of single-phase transformerless nine-level inverter was proposed. The proposed topology consists of only 10 switching devices and 4 capacitors. Firstly, the working principle of the proposed topology was analyzed in detail, and the comparison with conventional nine-level topologies in terms of device switching loss and conduction loss was presented. Then, combined with one-dimensional space vector modulation, a floating capacitor voltage estimation method was presented by the analysis of the operation mode before the arrival of redundant switching state. On this basis, a floating capacitor voltage sensorless control scheme was proposed, to achieve the balance of the floating capacitor voltages. Finally, simulations and experiments verified the effectiveness and correctness of the proposed topology and floating capacitor voltage sensorless control method.
