Abstract:
A voltage balance control device and a voltage balance control method for a flying-capacitor multilevel converter are provided. A current direction forecasting unit acquires a voltage change amount of any selected flying capacitor of the flying-capacitor multilevel converter, and receives a feedback signal of two adjacent switch elements corresponding to the selected flying capacitor. A computing result is generated according to an average value or a cumulative value of the feedback signal in the adjusting period. After multiplication and/or division is performed on the voltage change amount and the computing result, the current direction can be forecasted according to the obtained sign. Consequently, the voltage balance of the flying capacitor of the flying-capacitor multilevel converter can be achieved.
