Traditional cascade multilevel inverter can only transmit one-direction of energy. This paper proposes a new cascade multilevel inverter topology and control strategy based on part units to realize the energy feedback. By using PWM converter to replace uncontrollable converter in part units of the traditional inverter, and combining the inverter with H-bridge inverter, the two-direction running...

his paper presents a new hybrid cascaded H-bridge multilevel inverter motor drive DTC scheme for electric vehicles where each phase of the inverter can be implemented using a single DC source. Traditionally, each phase of the inverter requires � DC source for 2� + 1 output voltage levels. In this paper, a scheme is proposed that allows the use of a single DC source as the irst DC source which w...

Received Aug 27, 2014 Revised Dec 2, 2014 Accepted Dec 25, 2014 In this paper, a new control method for quasi-Z-source cascaded multilevel inverter based grid-connected photovoltaic (PV) system is proposed. The proposed method is capable of boosting the PV array voltage to a higher level and solves the imbalance problem of DC-link voltage in traditional cascaded H-bridge inverters. The proposed...

This project aims at using (PD-MCPWM) Phase disposition multi carrier pulse width modulation technique to reduce leakage current in a transformerless cascaded multilevel inverter for PV systems. Advantages of transformerless PV inverter topology is as follows, simple structure, low weight and provides higher efficiency , but however this topology provides a path for the leakage current to flow ...

In this paper a developed symmetric and asymmetric cascaded multilevel inverter is proposed. In asymmetric mode, the values of DC voltage sources are defined in a way that the number of output levels gets more than the condition when the symmetrical DC sources are used. In this regards, to calculate the required magnitudes of DC links several solutions are proposed. It’s obvious that the propos...

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...

This study includes a multilevel cascaded inverter along with a control strategy. This proposed control scheme directs the inverter to support the grid under three phase balanced voltage sags and during one or two phase faults. Control of voltage between grid and Distributed Generation (DG) system is a challenging subject. Integrating DG with the grid is the fundamental element of this study wh...
