After active neutral point clamped(ANPC) adopts SiC-MOSFETs, SiC-MOSFETs are easily damaged due to the excessive peak voltage. This paper establishes a single-phase parasitic inductance model of ANPC based on the SiC-MOSFET half-bridge modules. Then, based on this model, the cause of peak voltage on SiC-MOSFETs during ANPC commutation is analyzed. Finally, a short-loop commutation modulation strategy is proposed under the full working conditions of ANPC. The modulation strategy considers the influence of modulation carriers selection and dead time on ANPC commutation and optimizes the ANPC commutation loop to suppress the overvoltage on SiC-MOSFETs during ANPC commutation.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
