Utilization of a Reduced Switch-Count Topology in Regenerative Cascaded H-Bridge (CHB) Medium-Voltage Drives
Abstract
This article employs a reduced switch-count topology in regenerative cascaded H-bridge (CHB) motor drives. Conventional regenerative CHB drive employs six-switch voltage source converters in the front end of each power cell to capture and utilize the regenerated energy. This solution is accompanied by a high number of switches, gate drives, and control circuits, especially when the number of levels increases. This causes high switching power …
