the dc-link capacitor voltage imbalance problem will occur in the actual operation of cascaded H-bridge rectifier. To solve the problem of dc-link voltage balance under unbalanced load
we put forward the range of load imbalance within the dc-link reference voltage. In order to reduce the complexity of the phase-locked loop to the system control
the lockless loop control structure is adopted. Through in-depth study of the two-dimensional control algorithm
the voltage waveform of two-bridge modulation wave is deduced. Then
according to the principle of power balance
the load unbalance limit range is deduced when the system is under unit power factor. Meanwhile
the reference range of dc-link voltage is given. The simulation and experiment results have verified the validity and effectiveness of dc-link reference voltage selection range and the load imbalance limit range
which provides an important basis for the design of cascaded H-bridge rectifier system parameters.
