In the research field of multilevel converters, three-level NPC (neutral-point-clamped) converters, which unfortunately may cause the deviation of the neutral-point voltage of DC-link capacitors, are widely discussed. Theoretically, virtual space vector modulation (VSVM) could guarantee the balance control of the neutral-point voltage. However, there still exist some uncontrollable space vector regions. Based on VSVM, this paper proposes a varied virtual space vector modulation (VVSVM) method for three-level NPC converters. Under complete modulation conditions, this method can control the balance of the neutral-point voltage of DC-link capacitors by adjusting the duty cycle of small vectors and regulating the current generated by virtual medium vectors. Compared with commonly used VSVM methods and mixed modulation strategies, this method is simpler and more practical. The effectiveness and validity of this method are verified by simulations and experiments
