Abstract

The invention discloses a multilevel converter with energy storage. The present disclosure relates to a multilevel power converter 1 comprising at least one phase leg. The phase leg comprises a plurality of cascaded chain link connected cells 2, each cell comprising a capacitor 3 and two semiconductor switches 5 in series, each with an anti-parallel connected diode 6. The plurality of cascaded chain link connected cells comprises first and second cells 2a and 2b which form a mirrored cell-pair such that the two semiconductor switches of each of the first and second cells are all connected in series with each other. The converter further comprises an energy storage 4 connected between the first and second cells.

Description

technical field [0001] The present disclosure relates to a multilevel power converter including at least one phase leg. A phase leg comprises a plurality of cascaded chain-link connected cells, each cell comprising a capacitor and two semiconductor switches in series, each semiconductor switch having a diode connected in anti-parallel. Background technique [0002] Modular multilevel converters have become popular due to their high efficiency, modularity and scalability, and ability to generate voltage waveforms with low harmonic content, which effectively reduces the need for large AC filters. [0003] Several modular multilevel converter topologies exist, of which M2LC (also known as MMLC and MMC) is one of the most popular topologies, especially in high voltage direct current (HVDC) applications and motor drives etc. [0004] WO2010 / 124706 and WO2011 / 060823 disclose conventional half-bridge converter units and H-bridge converter units for M2LC, with a battery connected t...
