In this paper, a 3-phase series-connected hybrid converter system is introduced. The converter system is constructed by a GTO converter and an IGBT converter connected in series by two output transformers aiming at a high voltage high efficiency converter. The GTO converter operates in a square-wave switching mode at the same switching rate as a reference output voltage in order to minimize the device switching losses. The IGBT converter is built in an NPC (neutral-point-clamped) arrangement and operates in a PWM switching mode at a high switching rate. The former produces a base part of the total output voltage. The latter not only produces an additional part of the total output, but also offsets the harmonic components generated by the GTO converter. The control strategy for the system is proposed, and the experiment on an inverter, rectifier and STATCOM operation is demonstrated using the proposed hybrid converter. The experimental results verified the validity of the proposed hybrid configuration and its control strategy.
