In this letter, a hybrid modulation concept consisting of three-level space vector modulation (3L-SVM) and phase-shifted pulse width modulation (PS-PWM) is proposed for five-level active-neutral-point-clamped (5L-ANPC) converter. Under this concept, a simpler 3L-SVM plus PS-PWM scheme is applied to realize 5L modulation, instead of using complex 5L-SVM. The control of neutral voltage, flying capacitor voltage, and the improved dc voltage utilization are all implemented. With the help of the proposed concept, well-developed 3L-SVM schemes can be directly applied to the 5L-ANPC converter, which significantly simplify the gating signal generation. This concept can also be applied to other hybrid clamped 5L converters with two dc-link capacitors. It provides a unique solution, which utilize lower level SVM scheme to control higher level multilevel converters.
