Abstract
Medium voltage direct current (MVDC) based ship integrated power system (IPS) is regarded as the future developing trend of ship power system. Medium-voltage high power inverter for ship electric propulsions is one of the key problem. In order to improve the output voltage, power and harmonic performance, a family of symmetrical hybrid multilevel inverter for open-winding multi-phase motor based propulsion drive is presented in this paper. Each phase of this inverter is composed of a high-frequency multilevel DC/DC converter cell and a high-voltage H-bridge cell. The DC/DC converter is operated at high frequency with low voltage devices and the H-bridge is operated at fundamental frequency with high voltage devices. All the phases are connected to a common DC-link and each drives an isolated winding of an open-winding motor. A symmetrical hybrid five-level topology is taken as an example and the control method is discussed in this paper. Simulation results demonstrate the feasibility of this topology and control method.
