A Fault Compensation Scheme for Cascaded H-Bridge Inverter With Reduced Common Mode Voltage

Manuchehr Fathi et al.

Summary: In this article, a common mode voltage (CMV) injection method is proposed to tolerate cell failure for cascaded H-bridge (CHB) inverters. The proposed method aims to balance unequal line-to-line voltages and reduce the impact of injected CMV on load and inverter functionality. It is evaluated through simulation and experimental results obtained from an 11-level CHB converter.

Modulated Model Predictive Control for Multilevel Cascaded H-Bridge Converter-Based Static Synchronous Compensator

Qian Xiao et al.

Summary: A novel modulated MPC-P-2 method is proposed for CHB converter-based STATCOM application, effectively reducing the number of evaluated control sets in each control period by decoupling the voltage balancing control process from the cost function. This ensures both the dynamic output characteristics and low computation burden of the MPC method are guaranteed simultaneously.

Online Diagnosis and Ride-Through Operation for Cascaded H-Bridge Converter Based STATCOM With a Single Open-Circuit IGBT

Yuanhui Chen et al.

Summary: A simple online fault diagnosis method and fault ride-through approach are proposed for addressing the common IGBT open-circuit faults in CHB converters. The fault diagnosis method quickly determines the exact location of the open-circuit IGBT through analyzing output current characteristics, while the fault ride-through approach seamlessly transfers the faulty module's operation to maintain half of the rated output voltage. Comprehensive simulated and experimental results validate the effectiveness of the proposed approach in various adverse situations.

Symmetric Cascaded H-Bridge Multilevel Inverter With Enhanced Multi-Phase Fault Tolerant Capability

Yousef Neyshabouri et al.

Summary: This article introduces a new method for the operation of three-phase symmetric cascaded H-bridge multilevel inverter after power switch failure. The proposed method optimally reconfigures the inverter to continue operation with maximum healthy capacity, even with multiple faults. A fault tolerant control scheme with zero-sequence voltage injection is used to synthesize a balanced line-to-line voltage, maximizing the postfault line-to-line voltage while minimizing the common mode voltage.
