– The mathematical theory of resultants is used to compute the switching angles in a multilevel converter so that it produces the required fundamental voltage while at the same time cancels out unwanted order harmonics. Experimental results are given for the three DC source case. It is shown that for a range of the modulation index mI , the switching angles can be chosen to produce the desired ...

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)...

This paper presents a new cascaded multilevel inverter topology in asymmetric configuration. Initially general topology is presented and then extended for higher number of stages. In this paper a new cascade diagonal dc source multilevel inverter topology is proposed, which included the increased number of output voltage levels with minimum number of switches as well as with minimum dc voltage ...

This paper proposes a novel cascaded multilevel topology, named Single-dc-Source quasi-Z Source Cascade Multilevel Inverter. inverter has the ability to provide independent regulation of dc bus voltage each H-bridge, ensuring real power balancing and true symmetric waveforms. In addition, Inverter allows operating with single low PV array. provides detailed analysis operation design methodology...

This paper studies the complex bifurcation phenomena of a voltage-controlled Buck-inverter cascade system. A state-flow chart is drawn to illustrate the complex relations among the linear operating modes. Combined with the state transition function of each mode, the time response of the system can be obtained. For period-one steady state, the periodic mapping function and its fixed point are fu...

In high power high voltage application BLDC motor are widely used because of higher efficiency, simple in construction, lower cost, less in maintenance and higher torque or high output power per unit volume. For driving the BLDC motor an electrical commutator (inverter) is required. PWM inverter gives good performance. In two level inverter there are problems of harmonics distortions, low elect...

Analysis of the reason of cascade H-bridge inverter topology using carrier phase shift modulation method cannot compensate the harmonic, using carrier level layered modulation method can solve the problem of cascade H-bridge topology that it cannot compensate harmonic problems. Experimental results show that the modulation algorithm can effectively reduce the modulation delay, improve the contr...
