This technology is a scalable power conversion system for AC/DC and DC/DC power transformations which used voltage balancing to minimize the number of components needed in the conversion cell.
Multilevel power converters are useful devices to manipulate high voltage power in the grid while offering higher quality signal outputs; however, these systems are often quite complex in both their design and implementation. They often have complicated circuit topologies and unstable voltage balancing, which can lead to inefficiencies in the system causing power losses and instability. Additionally, the complex hardware required is often a limitation in the scale-up of these systems.
This technology is a voltage balanced, multilevel power converter grid architecture topology with a simplified design that can easily and efficiently convert AC/DC and DC/DC power signals. The converter is made of individual cells, each of which is tuned and voltage balanced itself. This allows for the system to be easily scaled to as many converter cells as desired to handle the voltage of the system. There is no limit of cells which can be used in tis topology, making this a robust and efficient method for signal power conversion.
