An integrated dual voltage loop control for capacitance reduction in CHB-based regenerative motor drive systems by Yang, Zezhou, Sun, Jianjun, Tang, Yi, Huang, Meng, Zha, Xiaoming

“…The inherent second-harmonic ripple power in a cascaded H-bridge (CHB)-based motor drive system poses the demand of large capacitors in the dc link of each cell. In this paper, an active power decoupling method based on negative sequence current injection and its corresponding dual voltage closed-loop control are proposed to solve this problem without adding any extra components. …”
