This paper proposes a control method for a photovoltaic generation system based on a three-level boost converter and paralleled three-level T-type inverters (3LT2Is).First, the analytical model of each conversion stage is developed. Then, an appropriate control structure is proposed, which includes active and reactive power control, circulating current suppression, and capacitor voltage balancing. The effectiveness of the proposed control strategy is demonstrated under different operating conditions, including different filter parameters among the parallel inverters, unequal load sharing, and variations in both load and solar irradiation. The obtained results confirm the effectiveness of the proposed control approach on both the DC and AC sides of the system, demonstrating its high capability to suppress circulating currents and ensure capacitor voltage balancing.

his paper presents an observer-based Sensor Fault-Tolerant Control scheme for a DC–DC buck converter operating under sensor faults and measurement noise. The proposed method employs a switching observer designed to estimate and compensate for sensor faults, ensuring stable converter operation even under simultaneous voltage and current sensor failures. The observer functions at the control level, serving as a protective layer that shields the double-loop control structure from faulty sensor feedback. Unlike conventional residual-based or multi-observer methods, the proposed approach utilizes a single observer that dynamically adapts to the converter’s switching modes, significantly reducing computational burden while enhancing estimation accuracy. The observer design is formulated within an 𝓗 ∞framework, and its stability conditions are derived in terms of Linear Matrix Inequalities . Simulation results conducted in MATLAB/Simulink under multiple fault cases demonstrate that the proposed FTC scheme effectively identifies and compensates sensor faults within microseconds, maintaining precise voltage regulation and current tracking under all tested conditions

The work in this article focuses primarily on the problem of capacitor voltage imbalance in a three-level NPC inverter. This problem is inherent in the inverter operation and significantly affects its performance, especially the harmonic distortion rate (THD), efficiency and stability of the system. Therefore, this paper proposes a novel voltage balancing control strategy based on adjusting the redundant vectors application times in the space vector modulation. Furthermore, in order to determine the appropriate adjustment direction, a control variable based on the signs of the inverter currents and the capacitor voltage deviation is incorporated into the distribution times of the redundant vectors. The proposed method is easy to implement and offers significant advantages, particularly in terms of THD values, computation time, and balancing efficiency. Finally, the proposed method was experimentally verified, and the obtained results demonstrate high capacitor voltage balancing capability and excellent overall performance.

Parallel multilevel inverter becoming a very attractive structure for medium- and high-power/voltage applications. This is mainly due to the fact that it can achieve high-power level and overcome voltage /current limitations of switching devices. However due to the differences in hardware parameters, the circulating current appears in this structure and degrades its performance. This paper presents a circulating current control method for paralleled three-level neutral point clamped (NPC) inverter. The analytical model that describes the circulating current generation and behaviors is demonstrated, and then using this model, a control method to eliminate the circulating current is proposed. The proposed strategy is realized by introducing a control variable adjusting the application times of the redundant vectors of the three-level space vector modulation (SVPWM). In addition, a PI-controller based on closed loop control is synthetized to determine automatically the appropriate adjustable duration, during which the redundant vectors will be applied to eliminate the circulating current among the paralleled inverter. Finally, the effectiveness of the proposed circulating current control method under different operating conditions is confirmed through experimental validation.

Three-level neutral-point-clamped (NPC) inverter is used in many industrial applications due to its attractive advantages in terms of harmonics content, achieved power level, and electromagnetic interference reduction. However, the main concern in this topology is the imbalance of the neutral point (NP) voltage in the dc side of the inverter. Indeed, the NP voltage distorts the output voltage of the inverter and increases voltage stress on its switching devices. In this article, a new NP voltage balancing control based on modified three-level space vector pulse width modulation (SVPWM) is proposed. The core idea of this method consists in adjusting the application times of redundant vectors in such a way that the NP voltage is kept balanced. In this method, the appropriate adjustment direction is determined by measuring only the capacitor voltages and the output currents of the inverter. The performances of the proposed method are validated and compared through various experimental tests, and the obtained results show an excellent NP voltage balancing regardless of the modulation index values

This paper suggested a circulating current control strategy dedicated for paralleled multilevel t-type inverters. The suggested circulating current control strategy consist in integrating into the three-level space-vector pulse width modulation a control variable allowing the adjustment of small vectors duty cycles. The method is easy to implement for modular design, and can effectively eliminate the circulating current even though, the inverters have an asymmetry in hardware or control parameters. The effectiveness of the proposed circulating current control is validated under different operating conditions through Processes-in-the Loop simulation (PIL) using TMS320F28335 DSP board.

Parallel inverter is one of the most interesting topology to achieve high power level, overcame current limitation on the switching devices and also to enhance the output current waveforms. However, the circulating current results from the common connection of both AC and DC sides directly can increase the current stresses and conduction losses of the switching devices and reduces inverters efficiency. This paper provides an investment on the threelevel Space vector modulation and proposes a new strategy to eliminating the circulating current for paralleled three-level t-type inverters. Results obtained confirmed the performance and the effectiveness of the proposed circulating current control strategy.

This paper presents an overall control approach for a grid connected photovoltaic (PV) system based on three-level DC-DC boost converter (3LBC) on the front of a three-level t-type inverter (3LT 2 I) acting as active power filter. The neutral-point (NP) voltage balancing is ensured by a new control strategy applied for 3LBC; this avoids the need to change the conventional three-level space vector modulation (SVPWM) algorithm or to add additional components. The capability of the proposed system to control the current injected into the grid, compensate the harmonics and the reactive power demand, and also guarantee the DC-link capacitors voltages balancing is demonstrated through variety of simulations.

Parallel operation of multi-inverters is an effective way to increase the power capacity and the reliability of power electronic systems. However, in parallel inverter operation, one of the most crucial problems is the zero-sequence circulating current (ZSCC). The ZSCC flows between parallel inverters, which results in current distortion, harmonic loss, unbalanced load sharing, and a decline in the overall system performance. In this paper, a sliding mode ZSCC controller for paralleled three-phase inverters is proposed. The suggested controller takes advantage of zero-vector redundancies to adjust their dwell time and cancel any voltage difference that can generate ZSCC between the paralleled inverters. The appropriate adjustment quantity is determined using a sliding mode controller, and as a result, a better ZSCC cancelation can be achieved at different operation conditions. Experimental results of two parallel inverters show the feasibility of the proposed ZSCC elimination method.

Recently, parallel inverters have been investigated to provide multilevel characteristics besides their advantage to increase the power system capacity, reliability, and efficiency. However, the issue of differential currents imbalance remains a challenge in parallel inverter operation. The distribution of switching vectors of the resulting multilevel topology has a certain degree of self-differential current balancing properties. Nevertheless, the method alone is not sufficient to maintain balanced differential current in practical applications. This paper proposes a closed-loop differential current control method by introducing a control variable adjusting the dwell time of the selected switching vectors and thus maintaining the differential currents balanced without affecting the overall system performance. The control strategy, including distribution of switching sequence, selection of adjusted switching vectors, and calculation of adjusting times are described and analyzed in detail in this paper. Finally, experimental results confirm the performance and effectiveness of the proposed method.

Three-level T-Type inverter (3LT2I) topology has numerous advantageous compared to three-level neutral-point-clamped (NPC) inverter. The main benefits of 3LT2I inverter are the efficiency, inverter cost, switching losses, and the quality of output voltage waveforms. In this paper, a photovoltaic distributed generation system based on dual-stage topology of DC-DC boost converter and 3LT2I is introduced. To that end, a decoupling control strategy of 3LT2I is proposed to control the current injected into the grid, reactive power compensation, and DC-link voltage. The resulting system is able to extract the maximum power from photovoltaic generator, to achieve sinusoidal grid currents, and to ensure reactive power compensation.

Multilevel inverters topology is an effective way to improve the capacity of full power converter in distributed generation system. However, the major concern for multilevel inverters is the fluctuation in the neutral-point (NP) voltage. This paper focuses on overall control including NP voltage balancing of a photovoltaic (PV) distributed generation system based on dual-stage conversion of three level DC-DC boost converter (3LBC) and three-level T-type inverter (3LT2I). The voltage-balancing control of two split DC capacitors of the 3LT2I has been transferred to the 3LBC, and thereby there is no need to change the conventional three-level space vector modulation (SVPWM) algorithm or to add additional components. Furthermore, it is simple and easy to implement and only one proportional-integral (PI) is needed to achieve good NP voltage balancing. Last, the capability of the overall system to control the current injected into the grid, reactive power compensation and keep DC-link NP voltage balance is investigated at different operating conditions.

This paper presents the control of a photovoltaic distributed generation system based on dual-stage topology of three level DC-DC boost converter (3LBC) and three-level neutral-point-clamped (NPC) voltage source inverter (VSI). Decoupling control strategy of three-level VSI is proposed to control the current injected into the grid, reactive power compensation, and DC-link voltage. The resulting system is able to extract the maximum power from photovoltaic generator, to achieve sinusoidal grid currents, and to ensure reactive power compensation. The design and the selection of 3LBC are based not only on boosting up the photovoltaic generator (PVG) voltage but also to ensure equal balancing of the DC-link voltage capacitors. Moreover, they do not change the conventional three-level space vector modulation witch required heavy computational capability to implement the neutral point balance control algorithm. The proposed system performance is investigated at different operating conditions.

Interleaving techniques are widely used to reduce input/output ripples, to increase the efficiency and to increase the power capacity of the boost converters. This paper deals with the problem of controlling energy generation systems including photovoltaic generator (PVG) and three phases interleaved boost converter (IBC). The objective is to design controllers that are able to achieve (i) input voltage tracking and robustness with respect to uncertainties that arise due to climate changes (ii) and balanced current sharing between the used converters. First a linear controller based on PI controller is proposed, and the behavior of IBC is compared with conventional boost converter (CBC). Next a sliding mode controller (SMC) for three phases interleaved boost converter is studied and compared to the conventional PI in terms of transient response, current and voltage overshoot percentage, and input current ripple. Furthermore, the robustness of the controllers is verified against variation for solar irradiation.
