DC link balancing of space vector modulation controlled three-level converter for ocean wave energy conversion

Abstract

In this study, the power extraction from oscillating water column device is done by using three level active rectifier and three level inverter which is controlled by using NTV-SV-PWM method. The mid-point balancing of the DC-link is achieved by using a look-up table, aiming to improve the efficiency, the response time of the system and the quality of the power transferred to the grid.
