Two-level inverter and three-level neutral point diode clamped inverter for traction applications: a comparative analysis study

A Study of Three-Level Neutral Point Clamped Inverter Topology

The three-level Neutral Point Clamped (NPC) inverter has become matured and widely used topology in high-power medium-voltage applications due to several advantages associated with it as compared to other available multilevel topologies. This paper presents a brief review on operation of threelevel NPC inverter. Different modulation strategies used in NPC inverter is also discussed. The problem...

Thirteen and Fifteen Level Neutral Point Clamped Multilevel Inverter

Multilevel inverters (MLI) becomes more accepted over the last few years in high power application of electrical engineering with the advantage of less disturbances and the possibility to work at lower switching frequencies as compared to conventional two-level inverters. In this paper the simulation of single phase multilevel inverter is present. Simulation of three level, five level, seven le...

Investigations on Three Phase Five Level Diode Clamped Multilevel Inverter

Multilevel inverters have become more popular over the years in high power electric applications without use of a transformer and with promise of less disturbance and reduced harmonic distortion. This work proposes three phase five level Diode Clamped Multilevel Inverter (DCMLI) to simulate various modulating techniques for induction motor load. These Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) techniques inc...

Implementation and Comparison between Two Algorithms of Three-Level Neutral Point Clamped Voltage Source Inverter

This paper presents a comparison between two Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) algorithms applied to a three-level Neutral Point Clamped (NPC) Voltage Source Inverter (VSI). The first algorithm applied is the triangular-sinusoidal strategy; the second is the Space Vector Pulse Width Modulation (SVPWM) strategy. In the first part, we present a topology of three-level NCP VSI. After that, we develop t...
