Control of three phase 7-level CHB voltage-source active rectifier

This paper introduces control algorithm of three-phase seven level cascaded H-bridge operates as voltage source active rectifier. The proposed control strategy combines PI and PR controllers with mathematical model of converter current loop and provide direct current control with voltage balancing. The theoretical conclusions are verified by simulations made for small-scale laboratory prototype.
