This paper presents a method to control both the dc boost and the ac output voltage of Z-source inverter using neural network controllers. The capacitor voltage of Z-source network has been controlled linearly in order to improve the transient response of the dc boost control of the Z-source inverter. The peak value of the line to line ac output voltage is used to control and keep the ac output...

The Dynamic Voltage Restorer (DVR) is a commercially available, popular device to eliminate voltage sags and swells in the distribution lines. Its basic function is to inject the voltage difference (difference between the pre-sag and sag voltage) to the power line and maintains the pre-sag voltage condition in the load side. The efficiency of the DVR depends on the performance of the efficiency...

Multilevel inverters are suited for high power drive applications due to their increased voltage capability. Specifically, as compared to three level inverters, for a given dc bus voltage, a four-level inverter is able to synthesize better waveforms with reduced device ratings. In a medium voltage drive, a conventional diode bridge rectifier is a low cost multilevel solution if the dc bus volta...

In all multilevel topology with several DC link, the voltage balancing problem of DC capacitors is a key problem. This paper proposes a new topology of chopper circuit for dc capacitor voltage balancing in diode clamped multilevel inverters (DCMLI). In the presented topology the number of switches is reduced respect to other proposed topology in literatures. Suggested topology is modular and ha...

this paper presents the new topology of three phase on line uninterruptible power supply (ups) by employing t-source inverter (tsi) with maximum constant boost pulse width modulation (pwm) control and the results are compared with the conventional uninterruptible power supply (ups). the conventional ups consists of voltage source inverter (vsi) with step up transformer or dc-dc booster which de...

Use of nonlinear loads at high voltages has increased tremendously in industry. These non-linear loads distort power quality by generating harmonics. Conventional active filters have limitations in high power high voltage systems. Use of multilevel inverter in active filters effectively reduces harmonics in high voltage systems eliminating need of high cost and bulky transformer. This paper pre...

This paper presents a new control technique to regulate the capacitor voltage in cascaded multilevel inverters. Without requiring transformers, the scheme proposed here allows the use of a single dc power source with the remaining n − 1 dc sources being capacitors. This paper focuses mainly to achieve an effective capacitor voltage regulation with the Phase shift modulation and energy storage u...

In this paper, a hysteresis current control technique for a single-phase five-level inverter with cascaded H-bridge topology is proposed. The basic study to implement the logic for correct voltage-level selection, various schemes available in the literature have been described and will provide a useful framework and point of reference for the future development of hysteresis modulation for mult...
