This paper proposes asymmetric cascaded H-bridge multilevel inverter with reduced number of switches suitable for industrial applications and renewable energy too. Cascade Multilevel Inverters are very popular and have many applications in electric utility and for industrial drives. When these inverters are used for industrial drive directly, the THD contents in output voltage of inverters are ...

In this paper, Artificial Neural Network (ANN) technique has been used for the estimation of voltage THD (Total Harmonic Distortion), current THD and power factor, mainly from input and output measurements of five different chorded induction motors fed from a pulse width modulation inverter voltage supply. A sinusoidal pulsewidth modulation (SPWM) inverter feeding five different chorded three-p...

In this paper, minimization of the total harmonics (THD) present in the output voltage of multilevel inverters is discussed . In order to reduce the harmonic contents of the inverter's output voltage the best approach is THD minimization. In multilevel inverters, if fundamental frequency switching strategy is considered,(each switch turning on and off once per output cycle), the switching angle...

Laser photoionization and ligand photodissociation in Ln(thd)(3) (Ln = Eu, Tb, Gd; thd = 2,2,6,6-tetramethyl-3,5-heptanedionato) are studied in a molecular beam via time-of-flight mass spectrometry. The fragmentation patterns are strongly wavelength dependent. With 355 nm excitation, the mass spectrum is dominated by Ln(2+), Ln(+), and LnO(+) fragments. The bare Ln ions are believed to arise fr...

OBJECTIVE To explore predictors of the 6-month clinical outcome of thalamic hemorrhage, and evaluate if minimally invasive thalamic hematoma drainage (THD) could improve its prognosis. METHODS A total of 54 patients with spontaneous thalamic hemorrhage were evaluated retrospectively. Clinical data, including demographics, stroke risk factors, neuroimaging variables, Glasgow Coma Score (GCS) o...

Renewable energy sources are developed as a result of the increased demand for electrical power. The nature solar source is DC. DC many applications needs to be converted AC. inverter used convert power from Total harmonic distortion (THD) significant concern with inverters. Multi-level inverters reduce THD. stair output voltage multi-level not only reduces THD but also switches' stresses, so l...

This work proposes three phase five level Bridge module type Diode Clamped Multilevel Inverter (DCMLI) using various modulating techniques for induction motor load.

This paper proposes a new floating gate MOSFET (FGMOS) based voltage-controlled grounded resistor. In the proposed circuit FGMOS operating in the ohmic region is linearized by another conventional MOSFET operating in the saturation region. The major advantages of FGMOS based voltage-controlled grounded resistor (FGVCGR) are simplicity, low total harmonic distortion (THD), and low power consumpt...

This paper presents Simultaneous variation and control of the output voltage and frequency, reduction in the harmonic components in load currents. These inherent features have to be employed in many industrial applications such as variable speed drives, uninterruptible power supplies and other power conversion systems. However, the reduction of the harmonic components in output currents and vol...

Multilevel Inverters (MLIs) have drawn increasing attention in numerous applications, especially in drives, distributed energy resources area, utility etc. MLIs have the ability to synthesize a near sinusoidal output voltage wave with minimal Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) in low frequency switching. Even though they offer lower THD, the presence of lower order harmonics is objectionable and h...
