Standard lowand medium-power induction motor drives are based on the pulsewidth modulation (PWM) voltagesource inverter fed from a diode rectifier. The dual topology, based on the current-source inverter/rectifier structure is used in mediumand high-power applications. This paper analyzes the existing motor drives based on current-source topologies and proposes a control strategy that addresses...

This paper presents a new transformer based multilevel inverter, with a novel pulse width modulation scheme to achieve seven-level inverter output voltage. The proposed inverter switching pattern consists of three fundamental frequency sinusoidal reference signals with an offset value, and one high frequency triangular carrier signal. This switching scheme has been implemented using an 8-bit Xi...

The main purpose of this paper is to describe the four-switch brushless dc (BLDC) motor drive for varoius applications. For effective utilization of the developed system, a novel direct current controlled pulse width modulation scheme is designed and implemented to produce the desired dynamic and static speed–torque characteristics. Also, t h e feasibility of the four-switch converter. Keywords...

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 Class DE inverter offers high-efficiency power conversion under high operating frequency (megahertz order) with low switching noises and low switch voltage stress. It has been applied to dc/dc converters as high-density power sources. Conventional converters with the Class DE inverter are controlled by varying the operating frequency, the switch duty ratio or the phase difference with two i...

Inverters with reduced number of switches have been proposed in the literature to improve the capability of cost reduction, total inverters size and switching losses of dc/ac inverter topologies. In addition, they have a lower probability of damaging the semi-conductor switches as well as lower commonmode currents. This paper proposes new designs for inverters with reduced number of switches. F...

This paper proposes five level diode clamped Z source Inverter. The existing PWM techniques used for ZSI are restricted for two level. The two level Z Source Inverter have high harmonic distortions which effects the performance of the grid connected PV system. To improve the performance of the system the number of voltage levels in the output waveform need to be increased. This paper presents c...
