Abstract
Five-level hybrid active clamped converters provide improved performance and switching device utilization over conventional five-level active neutral point clamped converters. Topologies include increased dc-link voltage relative to active neutral point clamped designs and enable capacitor voltage balancing, and are suitable for next generation high-power DC to AC converters, such as in photovoltaic applications, in both single phase and three phase configurations.
