Description

Five-level inverter
Technical Field
The application relates to the technical field of power electronics, in particular to a five-level inverter.
Background
The multi-level inverter is power generation equipment for converting a direct-current power supply into an alternating-current power supply, and has wide application prospect in high-power application places such as photovoltaic power generation, wind power generation, new energy combined power generation and the like because the multi-level inverter can provide good large voltage and large current.
The currently widely used multilevel inverter comprises a five-level inverter, referring to fig. 1, which is a schematic diagram of a five-level inverter in the prior art, as shown in fig. 1, the existing five-level inverter is usually a neutral point clamped five-level inverter, a direct current source Vdc is connected in series with capacitors C1 and C2 with the same capacity, voltages on the capacitors C1 and C2 are Vdc/2, and a node O point between the capacitors C1 and C2 is used as a reference zero potential, namely neutral point clamping. The switching tubes T3 and T4 are connected in series, and the switching tubes T5 and T6 are connected in series and then connected to the node O respectively. The switching tubes T1, T2, T7 and T8 form an H bridge with a voltage polarity conversion function, and when other switching tubes are turned off, the switching tubes T1 and T8 are turned on or the switching tubes T2 and T7 are turned on, the output level of the inverter output to the power Grid is Vdc or-Vdc respectively. When the switching transistors T3-T6 are conducted, the absolute value of the output level of the inverter is the level of the capacitor C2, namely Vdc/2. When the H bridge is short-circuited, namely other switching tubes are turned off, the switching tubes T2 and T8 are turned on, or the switching tubes T1 and T7 are turned on, the output level of the inverter is 0.
As can be seen from the structure of the five-level inverter and the working principle thereof, when the switching transistors T3-T6 are turned on, the capacitor C2 discharges, thereby providing an inverter output level of Vdc/2, and under other on conditions, the capacitor C2 charges, and the dc source provides the inverter output level, or the H-bridge is shorted, and the inverter output level is 0. Because the capacitor C2 can generate voltage change in the charging and discharging processes, the voltage of the capacitor C2 is difficult to stably maintain at the Vdc/2 potential during discharging, and the accuracy of the output level of the existing five-level inverter is lower.
