Large battery storage systems are proposed to act as short-time buffer to cope with transient instabilities. A promising converter to interface such low-voltage high-power battery banks is the T-type Neutral- Point-Clamped Converter (TNPC). A generalized implementation of a variant of the well-known space vector modulation featuring lower losses is proposed in this work. The derived relations to select a particular switching sequence are based on the binary logic and symmetry of the possible states in such a three-level converter. The algorithm proposed in this work dynamically adjusts the switching sequences to accommodate capacitive as well as inductive behavior.enNeutral-point-clamped (NPC) convertersbus clampingspace-vector modulation (SVM)pulse-width modulation (PWM)T-type NPC (TNPC)620conference contribution
