Abstract :
In this paper, the authors review various power converter structures for four level voltage DC conversion. General considerations about the structure design and offered advantages are exposed. Then the modelling and the balancing paradigm for each structure are presented. Two structures need a reduced number of external voltage stabilizers and are studied. Their PWM design are detailed and performances are compared with simulation results.
