Abstract— Distributed energy resources systems are small power generation tools used to afford substitute solution or added enrichment of traditional electric power system. This paper is mainly concentrated on 1Ø multi-level inverter for Distributed Energy Resources. The objective of this paper is to reduce switches with increase in multi-level outputs which inherently reduces the cost & harmon...

In this paper, a modular three-phase multilevel inverter specially suited for electrical drive applications is proposed. Unlike the cascaded H-bridge inverter, this topology is based on power cells connected in cascade using two inverter legs in series. A detailed analysis of the structure and the development of design equations for the load voltage with n levels are carried out using pulsewidt...

Abstract—This paper presents bifurcation and chaos in a PWM currentmode H-bridge inverter. This inverter exhibits various interesting bifurcation phenomena. First, we briefly explain the behavior of a PWM currentmode H-bridge inverter from viewpoints of the switched dynamical system. In order to analyze the circuit dynamics we derive a return map exactly. Using this map, the stability of the pe...

This paper presents the modeling, the detailed simulation and the test of an efficient medium voltage adjustable speed drive. The system consists on a three-level Neutral-Point Clamped (NPC) inverter supplied by a 12-pulse rectifier. To achieve a motor-friendly supply, an LC filter is inserted between inverter output terminals and induction motor terminals. A Direct Torque Control (DTC) tunes t...

Multi-Level Inverter technology has in the area of high-power medium-voltage energy scheme, because of their advantages such as devices of lower rating can be used thereby enabling the schemes to be used for high voltage Reduced Total Harmonic Distortion (THD).Since the dv/dt is the Electromagnetic Interference from the scheme the switching losses Lower switching frequencies can be paper presen...

This study presents space vector-based quasi-two-level operation of a diode-clamped multilevel inverter which improves dc link utilisation and output voltage quality, and avoids the dc link capacitor voltage balancing problem experienced with standard multilevel operation. Beside a review of quasi-two-level operation and the capacitor voltage balancing method, the study presents a detailed disc...

In this paper, the operation principle of the Z-source inverter is analysed in detail. According to the characteristics of allowed short–shrougt zero state in the Z-source inverter, SPWM control method of the Zsource inverter is obtained by inserting fixed short–shrougt zero state into zero state of SPWM. It is simple and easily implemented in practice. However, in inductive load condition the ...

Grid connected inverters play a crucial role in generating energy to be fed to the grid. A filter is commonly used to suppress the switching frequency harmonics produced by the inverter, this being passive, and either an L- or LCL-filter. The latter is smaller in size compared to the L-filter. But choosing the optimal values of the LCL-filter is challenging due to resonance, which can affect st...
