Power electronic converters are widely used in wind energy conversion system (WECS) applications. Therefore, with the increasing manufacturing capacity of multi-MW wind generators, multi-level converters, or parallel configuration of converters are becoming more attractive solutions towards DC collection from the wind generator. Among the multilevel converters, three-level full-scale neutral point diode clamped (3L-NPC) converter are using extensively for such applications in order to reduce the voltage stress on the semiconductor devices. In this article, a comparative study based on several devices used by NPC, capacitor clamped (CC) as well as Vienna rectifier has been done. Furthermore, their estimated cost comparison and complexity of control switches have been debated. By keeping in view the merits and demerits of these rectifiers, a low cost three-level active rectifier having a smaller number of active switches with a simple control scheme have been implemented. Considering a three-phase electric grid as a generated source, a 2.2KW low-cost three-level Vienna rectifier is simulated using MATLAB/Simulink. DSP (TMS320F28335) based experimental results ratify the simulated circuit with THD<5%.

Due to IGBT open-circuit fault of CRH2 EMU’s traction inverter, a method of its fault diagnosis with the three-phase current signals as detection objects is conducted. By applying the wavelet analysis, three-phase current signals are decomposed for four times. With the coefficients of each layer obtained, the energy values of layers are calculated as well as the vectors corresponding to failure modes. According to the vectors regarded as input and the expected output, a BP neural network is established. Through training the network, the parameters of network can be defined. In addition, to test and evaluate the performance of network, certain noise is added to the three-phase current signals. Simulation results show it is feasible for the fault diagnosis of traction inverter.
