In case of low voltage (12 to 24V) solar and battery powered sinus inverter applications a special converter topology for managing the high input current rating is required. Conventional solutions uses paralleled power MOSFETs to realize high current (several 100A) switches. In this paper a synchronized multi phase PWM concept was chosen to rise the over all efficiency of the inverter. In gener...

This paper proposes a single-phase seven-level inverter for grid-connected photovoltaic systems, with a novel pulse width-modulated (PWM) control scheme. Three reference signals that are identical to each other with an offset that is equivalent to the amplitude of the triangular carrier signal were used to generate the PWM signals. The inverter is capable of producing seven levels of output-vol...

This paper compares the performance of diode clamped three level inverter based STATCOM with sinusoidal and space vector PWM techniques. Space Vector Pulse Width Modulation (SVPWM) technique is the most advantageous technique than the conventional sinusoidal PWM technique for a multilevel inverter. The space vector pulse width modulation technique is an advanced, computation-intensive PWM metho...

The Flying Capacitor Multi Level Inverter (FCMLI) has a great advantage with respect to the availability of voltage redundancies. This work proposes a switching pattern for a modified inverter structure. It is used to improve the performance of chosen single phase five level H-bridge type FCMLI as compared to conventional FCMLI. The chosen multi level inverter is simulated for various multicarr...

In general Pulse width modulation (PWM) techniques of a voltage source inverter (VSI) need a sinusoidal reference signal and triangular carrier signal to generate the required modulating signals for the desired output. Modifications in modulating techniques can be considered in two ways, namely modified reference and modified carrier. The existing multilevel carrier based pulse width modulation...

A zero-voltage transition (ZVT) soft-switching inverter for an induction motor drive is developed. The proposed soft-switchng inverter is formed from the traditional pulse-wi dth modulated (PWM) inverter by simply augmenting with auxiliary resonant circuits, and the soft switching is acheved through applying PWM switching control signals with suitable delays for the main and auxiliary switches....

This paper presents the development of a resonant DC link inverter for an electric vehicle application. The resonant link frequency is approximately 70kHz and the inverter drives a low voltage 2.2kW AC induction motor. The IGBT inverter operates off a 240V DC supply and an active clamping circuit limits the resonant bus voltage to 500V. A synchronized PWM scheme is used to modulate the resonant...
