Four-level hybrid-clamped (4L-HC) inverter is a newly proposed topology which is suitable for high-performance medium-voltage drives. Each phase of this topology consists of eight switches and a flying capacitor and the dc-link is split into three parts by two neutral points. In order to ensure the topology operating properly, the voltages across the flying capacitors and three dc-link capacitors should be controlled and maintain balanced at their nominal values. This paper presents a decoupled voltage balancing method for this 4L-HC inverter, including the voltage balancing of dc-link capacitors and flying capacitors. A modified phase-shifted pulse-width modulation method is used to regulate the voltages of flying capacitors and the central dc-link capacitor. The relationship between the neutral-point currents and the output voltage is studied and the upper and lower dc-link capacitor voltages are balanced by injecting an optimum zero-sequence voltage. Simulation and experimental results are presented to verify the validity of this method.
