| Abstract |
A new topology of multilevel converter is presented in this paper. This new topology called
Stacked Multicell Converter (SMC) allows to increase the number of voltage levels compared with the
standard flying capacitor multicell converter while decreasing the energy stored in the converter. The
topology consists of a hybrid association of commutation cells allowing to share the bus voltage over
several switches, and also to improve significantly the output waveforms of the converter (increased
number of levels and increased apparent switching frequency). The topology, the corresponding
modulator and the basic operation are detailed. In a third part, explanations about the control of the
SMC converter are given. Simulations and experimental results obtained on a 50kVA experimental
set-up are presented. |
