Circuit topology and working principle of high power middle voltage and frequency three-level H-bridge DC/DC converter are analyzed. Aiming at the neutral-point voltage unbalancing problem
a double phase-shift PWM control method is proposed
which transforms the conventional single angle phase-shift PWM to double angle phase-shift PWM
and the neutral-point voltage can be balanced due to the different phase-shift angle. The boundary of the neutral-point balancing ability is investigated
and a double phase-shift PWM complex controller is designed. Experiments are comparatively conducted between the new controller and conventional single phase-shift PWM controller. It is shown that the neutral-point current is the reason of unbalanced neutral-point; the double phase-shift PWM controller can generate the asymmetry pulses to balance neutral-point
and this ability gets more powerful with heavier loading with better dynamic property.
