Abstract

This paper proposes a dual three-level, T-type, neutral-point clamped (T-NPC) inverter fed dual permanent magnet synchronous motor topology for low-voltage, high-power traction applications. The switching pulses of the T-NPC inverters are interleaved and controlled, such that they produce equal and opposite three-phase currents at their output. This maintains balanced dc-link voltages in steady-state and transient conditions, even with slight mismatches between two sets of three-phase loads. Thus, the proposed configuration decouples the modulation strategy from the capacitor balancing control. Simulation and experimental results demonstrate that in comparison to the conventional single T-NPC inverter, the proposed topology reduces dc-link capacitors' voltage deviation and current stress by more than 90% while avoiding additional switching instances to balance capacitor voltages.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
