Abstract
This paper explores the fundamental limitations of neutral-point voltage balancing problem for different loading conditions of three level voltage source inverters. A new model in DQ coordinate frame utilizing current switching functions is developed, as a means to investigate theoretical limitations and lend more intuitive insight into the problem. The low frequency ripple of the neutral point caused by certain loading conditions is observed and quantified.
