Abstract

The paper presents a solution to the problem of multilevel current converter control to improve the quality of AC output current waveforms. The three-level three-phase current converter has been designed using parallel galvanic connection of three standard current converters. The control algorithm is aiming for a minimal output current THD factor obtained using the least number of transistor switching. The multilevel current converter technique can be applied especially in energy conversion in RES systems with energy sources like photo-voltaic stack or wind farm
