In order to reduce the volume and size of distribution power transformer, precise and extended controlling of transformer output, the conventional transformers are replaced by intelligent universal transformers (IUTs). In this paper, an IUT, typical of Iran national grid, with the voltage ratio of 20kV:380 V is designed and simulated. Regarding the IUT implementation, a cascaded H-bridge invert...

Total harmonic distortion (THD) is a term used to describe the net deviation of a nonlinear waveform from ideal sine waveform characteristics. Total harmonic distortion is the ratio between the RMS value of the harmonics and the RMS value of the fundamental. In multilevel Inverter As we try to increase the number of levels THD reduces. This paper contains different single phase multilevel inver...

In this paper, a seven level modified cascaded multilevel inverter is proposed for industrial drive applications. Apart from selecting the conventional level inverters, Multi level inverters has been chosen for the industrial drive applications as it reduces the total harmonic distortion. The involvement of higher number of switches increases the complexity of the system, which leads to losses ...

Abstract Cascaded multilevel inverters synthesize a mediumvoltage output based on a series connection of power cells which use standard low-voltage component configurations. This characteristic allows one to achieve high-quality output voltages and input currents and also outstanding availability due to their intrinsic component redundancy. Due to these features, the cascaded multilevel inverte...

Multilevel converters offer advantages in terms of the output waveform quality due to the increased number of levels used in the output voltage modulation. This advantage is particularly true for cascade H-bridge (CHB) converters that can be built to produce a large number of levels owing to their modular structure. When increase the number of levels it requires more number of switches, it impl...
