In this paper a novel multilevel current source inverter structure is proposed. This inverter is likely to be used in low/medium power applications. The proposed topology is analyzed and then compared with conventional inverters in order to validate the superiority of the proposed inverter. In this topology, all the desired current levels can be obtained using lower number of circuit devices. T...

In this paper, the design and implementation of adaptive speed controller for a sensorless synchronous reluctance motor (SynRM) drive system is proposed. A combination of well-known adaptive input-output feedback linearization (AIOFL) and adaptive backstepping (ABS) techniques are used for speed tracking control of SynRM. The AIOFL controller is capable of estimating motor two-axis inductances ...

In this paper, the operation principle of the Z-source inverter is analysed in detail. According to the characteristics of allowed short–shrougt zero state in the Z-source inverter, SPWM control method of the Zsource inverter is obtained by inserting fixed short–shrougt zero state into zero state of SPWM. It is simple and easily implemented in practice. However, in inductive load condition the ...

A soft-switching inverter topology (the Class Φ) is presented which draws dc source current through a transmission line or a lumped-network approximation of a distributed line. By aligning the inverter switching frequency just below the line’s λ/4-wave resonance, the Class Φ topology enforces oddand even-harmonic content in its drain voltage and input current, respectively. The symmetrizing act...

To fulfill the challenging demands of the growing grid, new concepts of the inverters are needed. In this project a reduced switch modular inverter design is detailed. A reduced switch modular inverter design is presented for a modern power system which inputs power from both AC and DC Renewable Sources. The modular inverter is the combination of both three phase inverter and three phase invert...

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..
