This paper deals with the problem of voltage security in microgrids. In general, voltage security is an issue for power systems, where the lack of reactive power is a concern. For microgrids a complexity is imposed, since frequency and voltage level deviations may take place by the operation of droop-controlled inverters. This paper incorporates the load margin calculation into a microgrid stru...

Space Vector Modulation (SVM) Technique has become the most popular and important PWM technique for three phase Voltage Source Inverters. Z-Source Inverters have the ability to boost the dc link voltage, thus increasing the output ac voltage beyond the values reached by conventional inverters. The enhanced ratio from ac output voltage to dc link voltage is possible due to an impedance network c...

This paper presents a new composite soft-switching configuration for single-phase inverters where power bridge leg modules are used. The presented configuration consists of only one inductor and one capacitor as well as two low-power-rated switches/diodes for full-bridge circuits. It can realize snubber functions and/or resonant zero-current switching at any load current for switches in power i...

PWM inverters are widely used in UPS systems and driving induction motors. They give AC sinusoidal voltage under linear or non-linear loads which is a basic tracking control problem. Since the duty cycle of a PWM inverter is unchanged within one switching period, inverters are very suitable to be represented by discrete-time state equations. A discrete-time sliding-mode controller based on an i...

Recently, multilevel inverters are more researched due to the advantages they offer over conventional voltage source inverters in grid connected applications. Passive filters are connected at the output of these inverters to produce sinusoidal waveforms with reduced harmonics and to satisfy grid interconnection standard requirements. This work proposes a new passive filter topology for a pulse ...

In this paper, two new cascaded inverters are proposed, by using the series connection of new Submultilevel inverters. Each of the proposed Submultilevel inverters consists of three batteries and eight power switches. Four algorithms are presented to determine the voltages of these batteries for each of the proposed structures. In this study the comparison between the proposed structures with c...

Multilevel inverters are increasingly being used in high-power medium voltage applications due to their superior performance compared to two-level inverters. Among various modulation techniques for a multilevel inverter, the space vector pulse width modulation (SVPWM) is widely used. The complexity is due to the difficulty in determining the location of the reference vector, the calculation of ...

We know that, the inverters are broadly classified as two level inverters and multilevel inverters. This conventional inverters have many limitations at high power and high voltage applications. However, the multilevel inverter becomes popular for high power and high voltage applications due to their increased number of levels at the output. As number of levels increases, the harmonics are redu...

This paper presents the simulation of single phase three level, five level, seven level , nine level and eleven level inverters.. These different level inverters are realized by cascading one, two, three HBridges respectively in MATLAB. A multilevel inverter achieves high power ratings and improves the performance of the whole system in terms of harmonics. In this paper a simple control strateg...
