Abstract

The high-frequency modulation method (HFM) for a switched capacitor (SC) inverter often leads to high switching loss since it increases switching frequency. In order to reduce the switching frequency and switching loss in the HFM for SC inverter, this paper proposes a novel hybrid modulation strategy as well as a corresponding demo switched capacitor topology. The hybrid strategy limits the number of high-frequency switches, thus reducing the switching loss significantly. Meanwhile, the demo topology maintains the merits of current switched capacitor inverter such as low switch count, quadruple voltage-boosting ability and self-balancing capacity. The principle of the hybrid modulation method and the circuit configuration of the inverter are analyzed in detail. And comparisons are introduced to demonstrate the advantages of the proposed modulation method and topology. Finally, experimental results have proved the feasibility of the proposed inverter.
