Space Vector Modulation for Five-Level Current Source Converter with Optimal Vector Sequence and DC Current Balancing Control

Multilevel current source converter (MCSC) is an effective way to increase the power rating of conventional current source-fed motor drive, especially its current rating. However, there are still several challenges existing in this kind of configuration, which mainly focus on its space vector modulation (SVM) technique and the inherent DC current imbalance issue. In this paper, an SVM scheme with optimal vector sequence and DC current balancing …
