Power electronic converters are becoming more and more popular for various industrial applications. To overcome the limitation of semiconductors current and voltage ratings in high power applications, series and parallel connection of switches is often considered an effective solution. In addition, stepped waveform in the output of inverter has better harmonic spectrum than 2-level waveform in ...

The sensorless model predictive force control (SMPFC) is a strong method for controlling the drives of three-phase 4(6)-switch inverter linear induction motors. This kind of inverter can be employed for fault tolerant control in order to solve the problem of open/short circuit in 6-switch inverters (B6). This paper proposed a method for the SMPFC of a linear induction motor (LIM) with a 4-switc...

This paper presents the operational modes and the design of the active clamp flyback inverter. The auxiliary switch, clamp capacitor (Cclamp) and resonant inductor (Lr) are used in flyback inverter to minimize the spike voltage at the transformer primary side. Therefore, the voltage stress of main switch can be decreased. The active clamp circuit can also help the main switch in order to achiev...

We propose a new converter control scheme for a converter–inverter system. The strategy is to fully utilize the inverter dynamics in controlling the converter dynamics. We obtain the power dynamics for both converter and inverter systems, and control the converter power so that it matches the required inverter power exactly. Then, in the ideal case, no power flows through the dc-link capacitors...

A novel switched-capacitor-based cascaded multilevel inverter is proposed in this paper, which is constructed by a switched-capacitor frontend and H-Bridge backend. Through the conversion of series and parallel connections, the switched capacitor frontend increases the number of voltage levels. The output harmonics and the component counter can be significantly reduced by the increasing number ...

Absrracl--A dual two-level inverter fed open-end winding induction motor drive is proposed in this paper. A total of 64 voltage space phasor combinations are possible in this scheme as each inverter produces eight voltage space phasors. The proposed scheme produces voltage space phasor locations similar to that of a 3-level inverter. In a 3-level Inverter the series connected DC link capacitors...

This paper proposes a novel method based on pulse width modulation techniques to reduce and control the common-mode voltage in three-phase multilevel inverters. Besides controlling the common-mode voltage, this method is capable of controlling capacitors voltages and load currents with low switching losses and harmonic contents. In fact, due to the existence of different pulse patterns and the ...
