Dc-link capacitor voltage balancing for a five-level diode-clamped active power filter using redundant vectors

This paper investigates the compensation and modulation processes of the five-level diode-clamped APF, compensating a three-phase rectified RL load by redundant vectors. From the analysis, a hybrid SVM algorithm allows capacitor voltage balancing. Simulation and experimental results validate the SVM algorithm.
