An improved TDM-based controller for a multilevel three-phase active frontend with variable DC ratios: The extended Negev rectifier by Eli Barbie, Dmitry Baimel

“…The new controller expands the Negev rectifier to attain a DC-link supply of either Equal DC Sources (EDCS) or Unequal DC Sources (UDCS) with variable DC ratios up to 1:5 while preserving the power factor correction functionality of the original Negev rectifier and reducing its switching frequency by more than 50 %. When validated as a frontend solution for UDCS-based MultiPoint Clamped (MPC) 3ɸ Multilevel Inverters (MLI), both staircase modulation and pulse-width modulation schemes are supported, achieving 16.3 % reduction in Line-voltage THD (LTHD) compared to conventional approaches. …”
