A new general cascaded multilevel inverter using developed H-bridges is proposed. The proposed topology requires a lesser number of dc voltage sources and power switches and consists of lower blocking voltage on switches, which results in decreased complexity and total cost of the inverter. These abilities obtained within comparing the proposed topology with the conventional topologies from afo...

The distributed energy sources are commonly used small energy generating sources. Combination of these small energy sources will form microgrid in an interrelated manner to provide a required amount of demand power management. A grid connected PV system consist of solar panels, batteries with back up in case of emergencies, DC-DC converters, Maximum power point tracker (MPPT) and Demand power m...

In recent years, DC microgrid has attracted considerable attention of the research community because of the wide usage of DC power-based appliances. However, the acceptance of DC microgrid by power utilities is still limited due to the issues associated with the development of a reliable protection scheme. The high magnitude of DC fault current, its rapid rate of rising and absence of zero cros...

This paper presents performance evaluation of an asymmetrical parameter type two-phase induction machine drive using two-phase three-leg voltage source converter (VSC) operating in motoring and generating modes. A system is simulated using MATLAB/SIMULINK. The proposed converter system includes a machine side converter using a three-leg VSC and a front end converter using a single-phase full br...

The article presents a single phase asymmetrical multilevel inverter with reduced components and low voltage stress which reduces the size cost of system. structure provides maximum output 23 levels DC sources. There exists several reliability issues in lowering total harmonic distortion (THD) by utilizing higher design MLI despite its merits. Achieving THD is challenging task for researchers. ...

This paper presents a modified nine switch inverter with two inputs and two Z-source networks. This inverter has two DC inputs and two AC outputs. Input DC voltages can be boosted to the required level. Amplitude, frequency and phase of AC output voltages can be controlled, independently. The proposed converter can be used in applications with two unregulated DC sources, which require feeding ...
