					Abstract—The use of common dc-link parallel three-phase PWM parallel module and degrade the overall performance of the par-  
					converters without isolating transformers will cause zero-sequence  
					circulating current problem. Previous works have proven that the  
					circulating current is mainly affected by zero vectors employed in  
					each PWM cycle. This paper proposes a novel method to suppress  
					allel system. Consequently, circulating current suppression has  
					become a focus in this field [4].  
					The zero-sequence circulating path can be cut open by using  
					an isolating transformer at ac side [5], but the parallel system will  
					the circulating current. Detailed analysis is presented on the causes  
					of zero-sequence circulating current based on a derived average become costly and bulky. Using separate dc power supply will  
					model. A zero vectors feed-forward control strategy in combina-  
					tion with traditional PI control method is proposed to reject dis-  
					turbances in zero-axis current system. In addition, a dual current  
					sampling and dual PWM duty ratio update (DSDU) scheme is used  
					encounter similar problems [6]. For parallel systems with both  
					common dc-link and ac bus to reduce costs and size, interphase  
					reactors may be used to provide high zero-sequence impedance  
					[7], [8]. Nevertheless, the reactors cannot prevent low-frequency  
					to expand the bandwidth of zero-axis current loop. As a result, bet-  
					ter circulating current suppression performance can be achieved in components in the circulating current.

					in pervious works [9], [10]. The paralleled converters can be  
					centrally controlled as one converter [11], for example, a two-  
					converter parallel system can be controlled as a six-phase con-  
					verter, however, whereas design of this control system will  
					be complicated. Special PWM techniques are proposed to in-  
					hibit the circulating current [12]–[14]. The discontinuous space  
					modulation-based interleaved PWM method would effectively  
					reduce the circulating current, but it would result in high cur-  
					rent ripple in converter output currents, and this drawback may  
					be alleviated by the phase-shifted scheme proposed in [13]. The  
					proposed HEPWM method of Chen [14] would effectively elim-  
					inate both the high-frequency and low-frequency components  
					of circulating current, but it suffers from high switching losses.  
					Due to the fact that the zero-sequence circulating current is  
					mainly affected by zero vectors employed in each PWM cycle,  
					control method for decreasing common mode voltage distur-  
					bance with multicarrier technique is proposed by Hou [15]. The  
					multicarrier can effectively mitigate the circulating current by  
					means of nullifying the use of zero vectors. On the other hand,  
					the circulating current control method for SVPWM technique  
					was discussed in [16]. A control variable was introduced to ad-  
					just the distribution of zero vectors in each PWM cycle with  
					a proportional integral (PI) controller. However, the limitations  
					to the bandwidth of zero-axis circulating current loop is rarely  
					discussed. Nonlinear control methods were also presented to  
					resist the circulating current [17], [18], yet the algorithms are  
					too complicated to implement. An open-loop control method  
					is proposed in [19] and the control methods on zero-sequence  
					circulating current caused by dead time effect [20] has been  
					developed.

					I. INTRODUCTION  
					HREE-PHASEPWM converter hasbeenwidelyemployed  
					in low-voltage high-current applications [1]–[3] owing to  
					T
					its advanced features. As the capacity of converter is increased,  
					the use of parallel three-phase converters has become more pop-  
					ular due to its simplicity, low cost, and high flexibility. However,  
					when the common dc-link converters are connected in parallel  
					without using of isolating transformers, the zero-sequence cir-  
					culating current problem will occur. Circulating current can be  
					produced by the differences in inductors and converter currents,  
					other aspects such as dead time, measuring errors, analog to digi-  
					tal conversion, discretization, loose of synchronism between the  
					carriers cause the circulating current problem. The circulating  
					current will result in current distortion and harmonic loss in
