A primary goal of these systems is to increase the energy injected to the grid by keeping track of the maximum power point (MPP) of the panel, by reducing the switching frequency, and by providing high reliability. In the last years, multilevel converter topologies have been also considered in PV applications. Multilevel converter topologies can generate high-quality voltage waveforms with powe...

This paper presents a micro controller based control of multilevel inverter for single phase Induction motor. IGBT is used as power element. Pulse width modulation techniques (PWM), introduced three decades ago, are the most used methods to control the voltage and frequency supplied to electrical AC machines. This work proposes a new switching scheme for the cascaded H-Bridge multilevel inverte...

Asymmetrical structure is used to reduce the number of bridges and gate drive circuits and DC sources. This structure therefore provides the capability to produce higher voltages at higher speeds with low switching frequency which has inherent low switching losses and high converter efficiency. Newton Raphson (N-R) algorithm is investigated for the selective harmonic elimination (SHE) to calcul...

In all multilevel topology with several DC link, the voltage balancing problem of DC capacitors is a key problem. This paper proposes a new topology of chopper circuit for dc capacitor voltage balancing in diode clamped multilevel inverters (DCMLI). In the presented topology the number of switches is reduced respect to other proposed topology in literatures. Suggested topology is modular and ha...

This article presents a ground breaking traction drive for fuel cell-powered light rail vehicles based on multilevel cascade converter with H-bridge cells. The provides dc–ac power conversion unique buck–boost capability to compensate the variation of cell terminal voltage load power. In comparison conventional boost inverter, connection dc–dc and source proposed has significant benefits much s...

Both Hybrid Electric Vehicles (HEVs) and Electric Vehicles (EVs) need a traction motor and a power inverter to drive the traction motor. The requirements for the power inverter include high peak power, optimum consumption of energy, low output harmonics and inexpensive circuit. In this paper, a new structure of multilevel inverter with reduced number of switches is proposed for electric vehicle...

<span lang="EN-US">Wind energy conversion system (WECS) is composed of many non-linear power electronic sub systems, which contribute significantly in harmonic emissions that a threat for the quality electrical power. Hence, better integration WECS grid and order to satisfy IEEE 519 standards, must inject with rate total harmonics distortion (THD) less than 5%. Multilevel Inverters are an...

Multilevel inverters have an attracted a great deal of attenuation in medium voltage and high power application. Due to their lower switching losses, EMI, high efficiency. Among the several multilevel inverters topology it is more attractive due to the simplicity of control. This paper proposes to CHMLI output voltage level is increase to reduced total harmonic Distortion. Hence the paper mainl...
