56 3-L DC Link ML Converter Properties<br />

TABLE 21, NUMBERS OF STATES OF THE 5-L ANPC TYPE 1<br />

Number of discrete 2-D space vectors in αβ: 61<br />

Number of discrete 3-D space vectors in abc: 125<br />

Number of states g<strong>en</strong>erating differ<strong>en</strong>t voltage, or<br />

NP or FC curr<strong>en</strong>t (only consi<strong>de</strong>ring 7 states per<br />

phase)<br />

Total number of converter states for the 5-L ANPC<br />

The large number of redundant states can be used to control NP and FC voltages (see<br />

paragraph 4.5.3.1), as well as for optimization of loss distribution or optimization of CM voltage.<br />

The total number of redundant states for a giv<strong>en</strong> topology is also a measure for the controllability<br />

of the converter. More redundant states indicate a higher <strong>de</strong>gree of freedom and improved<br />

controllability of the converter.<br />

FC curr<strong>en</strong>ts are <strong>de</strong>fined by the state of the corresponding phase leg alone; the NP curr<strong>en</strong>t is<br />

<strong>de</strong>fined by the states of all three phases: I NP = I NPa + I NPb + I NPc. For the case of I a + I b + I c = 0,<br />

the NP curr<strong>en</strong>t can be equal to an individual phase output curr<strong>en</strong>t or the sum of two phase output<br />

curr<strong>en</strong>ts, which is equal to minus any of the individual phase output curr<strong>en</strong>ts. This means the NP<br />

curr<strong>en</strong>t is zero, or plus or minus a giv<strong>en</strong> single phase curr<strong>en</strong>t for any converter state.<br />

Output voltage vectors can be <strong>de</strong>scribed by grouping the output levels (from 0 to 4) of the<br />

three phases in braces: {abc} 3D. Note that such an output voltage vector does not contain any<br />

information on redundant states, but it can contain information on CM: {100} 3D and {433} 3D<br />

g<strong>en</strong>erate the same DM but differ<strong>en</strong>t CM voltage. TABLE 22 shows all possible states for the<br />

differ<strong>en</strong>tial vector {100} 2D, TABLE 84 in app<strong>en</strong>dix 9.4 lists all states of the first 60° segm<strong>en</strong>t of an<br />

ANPC 1 converter with the corresponding NP and FC curr<strong>en</strong>ts.<br />

4.3 Space vector repres<strong>en</strong>tation<br />

Three phase values can be repres<strong>en</strong>ted as vectors in a three dim<strong>en</strong>sional space, directly using<br />

the phase quantities (e.g. phase output voltages) as variables for the three coordinates. The<br />

subspace of physically available voltage vectors for any three phase VSI is a cube, if each phase can<br />

in<strong>de</strong>p<strong>en</strong>d<strong>en</strong>tly assume minimum and maximum voltage.<br />

In most applications, the differ<strong>en</strong>tial mo<strong>de</strong> (DM) voltage betwe<strong>en</strong> the three phases is most<br />

important as it <strong>de</strong>fines the main operation of the converter and is responsible for the power<br />

transfer. The common mo<strong>de</strong> (CM) voltage on the other hand has no explicit function with respect<br />

to output quantities, but rather creates parasitic effects like stress of winding insulation in a<br />

transformer or g<strong>en</strong>eration of bearings curr<strong>en</strong>ts in a motor. Therefore, the CM voltage can<br />

optimized for minimization of parasitic effects or it can be used for the control of converter<br />

internal quantities like NP voltage.<br />

Due to the differ<strong>en</strong>t functions of DM and CM, it is helpful to use a repres<strong>en</strong>tation separating<br />

DM and CM. A coordinate transformation can be used to get two new coordinates repres<strong>en</strong>ting the<br />

DM and one coordinate repres<strong>en</strong>ting the CM (αβ0-system). Other systems are possible, for
