Abstract: Three-phase two-level voltage source converters are used for distribution static compensator (DSTATCOM) applications and can be replaced by a multilevel inverter. In this paper, an LCL filter interfaced cascaded H-bridge multilevel inverter-based (CHBMLI) DSTATCOM is simulated and its performance is analyzed considering the system parameters. The analysis considers factors including t...

The objective of this paper is to present a multilevel inverter topology for induction motor with open-end winding. Multi level inversion is achieved by feeding an open-end winding induction motor with a two-level inverter in cascade with three auxiliary circuits from one end and a single two-level inverter from the other end of the motor. The combined inverter and auxiliary system with open-en...

Power electronic converters, especially DC/AC Sinusoidal Pulse Width Modulation inverters have been extending their range of use in industry because of their numerous advantages. They typically synthesize the stair –case voltage waveform (from several dc sources) which has reduced harmonic content. This paper describes the development of design, modelling and simulation of the proposed seven le...

Now-a-days, non-conventional energy sources are playing a vital role in the generation of electrical energy. This is due to disadvantages conventional like pollution, non-availability resources, greenhouse effect. Hence more concentration made by researcher’s on these so called as renewable sources. These used with converters along filters give best output. In this work, we focusing solar and h...

This paper presents the application of differential evolution algorithm to obtain optimal switching angles for a single-phase seven-level to improve AC voltage quality. The proposed inverter in this article is composed of two H-bridge cells with non-equal DC voltage sources in order to generate multiple voltage levels. Selective harmonic elimination pulse width modulation (SHPWM) strategy is us...

– The mathematical theory of resultants is used to compute the switching angles in a multilevel converter so that it produces the required fundamental voltage while at the same time cancels out unwanted order harmonics. Experimental results are given for the three DC source case. It is shown that for a range of the modulation index mI , the switching angles can be chosen to produce the desired ...

In this paper comparison of Selective Harmonic Elimination (SHE) method with different Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) technique which are used as gate pulse for firing the IGBT‟s. Higher order harmonics are easily eliminated by selecting a proper tuned value filters but lower order harmonics such as 3rd, 5th, 7th, and 9th are not easily eliminated. This paper includes NewtonRapson method with ran...

In order to reduce the volume and size of distribution power transformer, precise and extended controlling of transformer output, the conventional transformers are replaced by intelligent universal transformers (IUTs). In this paper, an IUT, typical of Iran national grid, with the voltage ratio of 20kV:380 V is designed and simulated. Regarding the IUT implementation, a cascaded H-bridge invert...
