In order to ensure the safe and reliable operation of three-phase four-wire (3P4W) three-level grid-connected converter (TL-GCC) from the point view of neutral point voltage (NPV) self-equilibrium, a sufficient condition based on carrier-based pulse width modulation (CBPWM) strategy is presented. The analysis of NPV self-equilibrium based on the sufficient condition is presented while different forms of current are outputted. Then, a novel active control method based on producing zero sequence direct current is proposed to balance NPV. The theoretical analysis of NPV self-equilibrium as well as the effectiveness of the proposed active NPV control method are verified by experimental results.
