Neutral point inverter controller using H infinity techniques by M. Alsharif, Ali Omar

“…This can be achieved by using a neutral-point circuit that consists of a conventional neutral leg and a split dc link. In this project, a H infinity (H∞ ) current controller is proposed to force the current flowing through the split dc link to be nearly zero so that the neutral-point current is stable, and then, a current control loop is added to eliminate the imbalance of the current so that the neutral-point current is balanced with respect to the dc terminals. …”
