A design optimization method is presented which utilizes automatic optimization capabilities within TCAD frameworks. This method is applied to doping profile optimizations of ultra-low-power CMOS transistors with 0.25 and 0.1 μm gate lengths. Two different performance goals are utilized, to maximize the drive current of an NMOS transistor and to minimize the gate delay time of a CMOS inverter s...

In this paper presents a symmetrical five level cascaded inverter topology for Induction motor drive. It can continuously works at lower power stage. For this symmetrical circuit, when the number of level is increased, the voltage and power will also get increased. For reducing harmonics the Sinusoidal PWM method is used. The multilevel inverter gives the output to drive the three phase Inducti...

This work considers new applications of Firefly and Fireworks algorithm for solving the selective harmonic elimination problem in inverter output waveforms. The higher order harmonics in the output of the inverter can be eliminated easily by using small passive filters. Lower order harmonic elimination requires selecting a pre-specified firing angle. That angle is one of the many solutions of a...

Multilevel converters offer high power capability, associated with lower output harmonics and lower commutation losses. Their main disadvantage is their complexity, requiring a great number of power devices and passive components, and a rather complex control circuitry. This paper proposes a single-phase sevenlevel inverter for grid connected PV systems, with a novel pulse width-modulated (PWM)...

The Z-source inverter (ZSI) with battery operation can balance the stochastic fluctuations of photovoltaic (PV) power injected to the grid/load, but the existing topology has a power limitation due to the wide range of discontinuous conduction mode during battery discharge. This paper proposes a new topology of the energy stored ZSI to overcome this disadvantage. Two strategies are proposed wit...

Abstract-A new control approach for three-phase gridconnected inverters is presented. The inverter stage is a standard three-phase half bridge. During each 60° of line cycle, the three-phase half bridge can be de-coupled into parallel-connected a dual-buck inverter. Based on Onecycle control, a Unified Constant-frequency Integration controller (UCI) is proposed for the dual-buck inverter. The c...
