This paper presents the novel multilevel inverter fed control structure for induction motor based Direct Torque Control (DTC) strategy using a seven-level Multi Point Clamped (MPC) Voltage Source Inverter (VSI) is presented. It is shown that the multilevel topology presents enough degrees of freedom to control both electromagnetic torque and stator flux with very low ripple and high dynamics on...

In this paper, a new cascaded multilevel inverter by capability of increasing the number of output voltage levels with reduced number of power switches is proposed. The proposed topology consists of series connection of a number of proposed basic multilevel units. In order to generate all voltage levels at the output, five different algorithms are proposed to determine the magnitude of DC volta...

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...

1,2 Electrical and Electronics Engineering, Sree Buddha College Of Engineering Abstract—This paper highlights the performance of a five level inverter fed ac drive system. The presence of harmonics in the output voltage and current waveforms of traditional voltage source inverter (VSI) causes significant amount of energy loss. Multilevel inverters can reduce this harmonic content in the output ...

Received Jul 8, 2014 Revised Oct 6, 2014 Accepted Oct 20, 2014 Renewable power generation using photovoltaic is very interesting to be developed to deal with the problems of conventional energy sources and environmental issues. The photovoltaic power generation can operate both in stand-alone and grid-connected operations. This paper presents an application of the single-phase five-level common...

In high power high voltage application BLDC motor are widely used because of high efficiency, simple construction, low cost less maintenance and high torque or high output power per unit volume. For driving the BLDC motor we required inverter. PWM inverter which gives good performance. In two level inverter there is a problem of harmonics distortion, lower electromagnetic interference, high DC ...

This paper is about a PV system connected to the electric grid by power electronic converters, using classical PI controller. The modelling for the converters emulates the association of a DC-DC boost with a two-level power inverter (TwLI) or three-level power inverter (ThLI) in order to follow the performance of a testing experimental system. Pulse width modulation (PWMo) by sliding mode contr...
