A General Low-Frequency Zero-Sequence Circulating Current Suppression Approach for Coordinated PWM Schemes in Two-Parallel Three-Phase Two-Level Power Converters

Journal Article IEEE Transactions on Power Electronics · January 1, 2026 This article addresses the challenge of mitigating low-frequency circulating currents caused by imbalanced inductance while preserving the inherent benefits of coordinated pulsewidth modulation (PWM) schemes. The analysis reveals that traditional common-mo ... Full text Cite

Improved Fault Diagnosis Capability in CHBMCs: Counter Design for Multiple OC Switches via an E-SVM Unit

Journal Article IEEE Transactions on Power Electronics · January 1, 2026 The cascaded H-bridge multilevel converter (CHBMC) is widely used in medium- and high-voltage applications due to its flexibility and scalability. However, its numerous switches make it prone to open-circuit (OC) faults, which lead to overshoot currents an ... Full text Cite
