This paper presents a detailed harmonic analysis in terms of Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) for different power circuit topologies of multi level inverter fed induction motor drives. The most common multilevel inverter topologies are the neutral-point-clamped inverter (NPC), flying capacitor inverter (FC), and cascaded H-bridge inverter (CHB). This work is to analyze the performance of all the...

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...

Distributed generation (DG) will play an important role in future power generation systems, especially in stand-alone applications. Three phase four-leg inverter is a well-known topology which can be used as an interface power converter for DGs. Thanks to the fourth leg to provide the neutral path, the four-leg inverter is able to supply balanced loads as well as unbalanced loads. In this paper...

In this paper, a simplified space–vector pulse width modulation technique for multilevel inverters is proposed. This method is based on the simplification of the space–vector diagram of a five level inverter into that of a three level inverter. In turn, the three level inverter space vector diagram is simplified into that of two level inverter. Hence, the algorithm of five level space-vector pu...
