Abstract:
|
This paper presents a new Power Electronic Building Block (PEBB) designed to facilitate theimplementation of different power converter topologies. The proposed PEBB consists of two diodesand two transistors and it can be used to implement the most relevant power converter topologies, dueto its modularity. The addition of the two diodes is an exclusive feature of the new PEBB, whichpermits to implement neutral point clamped (NPC) multilevel converters. The application of the PEBBto build a three-level NPC converter and a dc-dc push-pull converter is presented and detailed in thepaper, and demonstrate that the presented PEBB can be useful to shorten converter development times. |
