This paper presents a comparative analysis of the Z-source inverter with two different control techniques namely the simple boost control and the maximum constant boost control with third harmonic injection. The Z-source inverter has the capability to buck-boost the input voltage without any intermediate boost conversion stage. It utilizes the shoot-through states effectively to boost the input...

This paper proposes a new topology namely Improved Current Fed Switched Inverter which is derived from the current fed switched inverter. The new topology improves the value of modulation index from its previous topology where the value of modulation index was restricted. The system is suitable for the renewable applications since it draws continuous input current. Single stage high boost inver...

In this paper, a modular three-phase multilevel inverter specially suited for electrical drive applications is proposed. Unlike the cascaded H-bridge inverter, this topology is based on power cells connected in cascade using two inverter legs in series. A detailed analysis of the structure and the development of design equations for the load voltage with n levels are carried out using pulsewidt...

Abstract—This paper presents bifurcation and chaos in a PWM currentmode H-bridge inverter. This inverter exhibits various interesting bifurcation phenomena. First, we briefly explain the behavior of a PWM currentmode H-bridge inverter from viewpoints of the switched dynamical system. In order to analyze the circuit dynamics we derive a return map exactly. Using this map, the stability of the pe...

This paper presents the modeling, the detailed simulation and the test of an efficient medium voltage adjustable speed drive. The system consists on a three-level Neutral-Point Clamped (NPC) inverter supplied by a 12-pulse rectifier. To achieve a motor-friendly supply, an LC filter is inserted between inverter output terminals and induction motor terminals. A Direct Torque Control (DTC) tunes t...
