The paper describes an investigation of fault tolerant control strategies for permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) driven by a fault-tolerant inverter. The inverter is a topology-modified inverter with fault-tolerant capability, which can be configured as the standard 3-phase 6-switch inverter and reconfigured as 3-phase 4-switch or 2-phase 4switch inverter under the fault condition. By an...

There is strong trend in the photovoltaic (PV) inverter technology to use transformer less topologies in order to acquire higher efficiencies. The general function of multilevel inverter is to synthesis desired voltage from solar source. This inverter has advantageous of industrial applications. The use of converters will increase losses and cost in conventional methods. The proposed seven leve...

A six-level inverter system for an open-end winding induction motor drive is presented in this paper. Multilevel inversion is achieved by feeding an open-end winding induction motor with a 3-level inverter from one end and a 2-level inverter from the other end of the motor. The 3level inverter used in the proposed drive, is realized by cascading two 2-level inverters. The combined inverter syst...

In this paper, a new family of single-stage high step-up boost voltage inverter based on transformer is proposed, called T-Z source inverters. By replacing two inductors in the classical Z-source inverter with two transformer, the proposed inverter produces a very high boost voltage gain when, the turn ratio of the transformer is larger than one. Compared to the trans-Z source inverter, the pro...

Cascaded Hybrid MultiLevel Inverter (CHMLI) is an attractive topology for high voltage DC-AC conversion. This paper focuses on a single-phase five-level inverter with reduced number of switches. The inverter consists of a full bridge inverter and an auxiliary circuit with four diodes and a switch. The inverter produces output voltage in five levels: zero, +0.5Vdc, +Vdc, -0.5Vdc and –Vdc.. A nov...

The multilevel inverters have highly desirable characteristics in high power high voltage applications. The multilevel inverter was started first with diode clamped multilevel inverter. Later, various configurations have been came into existence for many applications. However the multilevel inverters have some demerits such as requiring higher number of components, PWM control method is complex...

 The advent of the transformerless multilevel inverter topology has brought forth various pulse width modulation (PWM) schemes as a means to control the switching of the active devices in each of the multiple voltage levels in the inverter. An analysis of how existing multilevel carrier-based PWM affects switch utilization for the different levels of a diode-clamped inverter is conducted. Two ...
