In this paper comparative study of proposed hybrid multilevel inverter (HMI) operating in modified pulse width modulation (PWM) mode with cascaded H-bridge multilevel inverter (CHMI) is done. Two types of HMIs are proposed with same configuration. To control the two HMIs, modified PWM techniques are derived from sinusoidal pulse width modulation (SPWM) to reduce the switching losses in the inve...

This paper proposes a feed-forward control in a halfbridge resonant dc link inverter. The configuration of feed-forward control is based on synchronous sigma-delta modulation and the halfbridge resonant dc link inverter consists of two inductors, one capacitor and two power switches. The simulation results show the proposed technique can reject non-ideal dc bus improving the total harmonic dist...

Space Vector Based Pulse Density Modulated scheme for multilevel inverter is proposed in this paper. A two level and three level inverters with three different DC input voltages are used to produce 18 stepped output sinusoidal voltage. First order sigma delta modulator is used to obtain Pulse Density Modulation. The vector space is divided into 18 segments for spatial quantization. Sixty degree...

The steady-state oscillation of a zero-voltageswitching clamped-voltage self-oscillating ballast driven by a saturable transformer is analyzed and simulated. Its selfoscillating operation is divided into six stages according to the hysteresis B–H loop of saturable transformer cores. Stage-wise circuit analysis shows the saturable transformer limits the lamp current and dominates the switching f...

Single-stage boosting capability of impedance network (IN) inverters makes this family an attractive choice for DC/AC applications with low input DC voltage. A specific time shoot-through (ST) state is required to achieve the voltage gain. Conventionally ST and zero output vector should be applied simultaneously. This constraint limits modulation index increases stress semiconductor devices, pa...

In PWM inverter-fed drives, a variation of Common mode voltage (CMV) causes unbalanced voltage operation in induction motor. Multilevel inverters reduce this problem, but the complexity of the power circuit increases with an increase in the number of inverter voltage levels. In this paper, a five-level inverter is compared with two, three and four levels and this five level structure is propose...

Electrified vehicles on the market today all use the classical two-level inverter as the propulsion inverter. This thesis analyse the potential of using a cascaded H-bridge multilevel inverter as the propulsion inverter. With a multilevel inverter, the battery is divided into several parts and the inverter can now create voltages in smaller voltage levels than the two-level inverter. This, amon...

Multilevel inverters in renewable applications usually require a high-voltage dc link fed by front-end dc--dc boost stage. Such two-stage power conversion, however, increases the switch count, leading to higher costs and losses. To lower number of switches, this letter proposes six-switch inverter, capable generating seven-level voltage triple-voltage boost. Both features are achieved with only...
