This paper combines quasi-Z-source into a typical five-level inverter, which includes two dc voltage sources, two quasi-Z-sources and five switching devices. In this structure, the output voltage amplitude is not limited to dc voltage source and it can be increased by quasi-Z-source. Besides, due to nature of Z-source families, this new structure is reliable and higher efficiency. Also, in this...

Multilevel inverter technology has emerged recently as a very important alternative in the area of high-power mediumvoltage energy control. This paper presents the most important topologies like diode-clamped inverter (neutral-point clamped), capacitor-clamped (flying capacitor), and cascaded multicell with separate dc sources. Emerging topologies like asymmetric hybrid cells and soft-switched ...

Cascaded H-Bridge multilevel inverter is a promising topology and provides alternative way for converters that are used in grid connected photovoltaic, wind power generation and in motor drive. Output power can be expanded simply with modularity and control. Though it has wide application area and tremendous merits, it has greater disadvantage that it uses separate DC supply for each HBridge. C...

This paper presents a unique voltage-raising topology for single-phase seven-level inverter with triple output voltage gain using single input source and two switched capacitors. The has been boosted up to three times the value of by configuring capacitors in series parallel combinations which eliminates use additional step-up converters transformers. selective harmonic elimination (SHE) approa...

This paper presents new and efficient modulation techniques applied on the recently introduced compact nine-level switched-capacitor inverter (C9LSCI). The also discusses performance of under selective harmonic elimination (SHE) mitigation (SHM) based heuristic Bat-Algorithm (BA) technique. Two employing CD-type carrier waves M-type are proposed, showing a rise in efficiency, an increase RMS vo...

All fundamental frequency estimators based on spectral analysis rely heavily on a proper harmonic selection of the voice analyzed. Since in practice other spectral peaks pertaining to different sources are present in the signal, various schemes have been design to ensure a satisfactory elimination of non pertinent harmonics. This paper introduces a new harmonic selection algorithm based on harm...

The growing installed wind capacity over the last decade has led many energy regulators to define specific grid codes for generation systems connecting electricity grid. These requirements impose strict laws regarding Low Voltage Ride Though (LVRT) and High (HVRT) capabilities of turbines during voltage disturbances. main aim this paper is propose LVRT HVRT strategies that allow remain connecte...

We demonstrate an all-optical technique for the elimination of timing jitter in short pulse transmission systems. The technique relies on pulse pre-shaping followed by optical switching in a periodically poled lithium niobate waveguide via cascaded second harmonic and difference frequency generation. ©2010 Optical Society of America OCIS codes: (060.2330) Fiber optics communications; (130.3730)...
