A novel switched-capacitor-based cascaded multilevel inverter is proposed in this paper, which is constructed by a switched-capacitor frontend and H-Bridge backend. Through the conversion of series and parallel connections, the switched capacitor frontend increases the number of voltage levels. The output harmonics and the component counter can be significantly reduced by the increasing number ...

First of all, in this paper, the topology and operation of the three-phase three-level Z-source inverter based on neutral-point-clamped (Z-NPC) are studied.

It worth mentioning features two topology extension schemes help achieve higher output level and gain. With merit low reduced ...

The class Φ2 inverter is a new switched mode type of resonant inverter. This inverter is applicable for very high frequency application. In this paper, it proposes class Φ2 inverter reduced the voltage stress, and improve the dynamic response. The class E resonant inverter is not suitable for high frequency application, because it produce high voltage stress across the switch. The suitable ball...

The current study proposes a topology for switched Z-source inverter. In the switching method used this structure, unlike conventional, active network switches’ duty cycle is not equal to shoot-through cycle. So, in addition cycle, of impedance switches also involved boost factor. Besides, by extracting small-signal model, it observed that proposed has two control inputs on dc-side. advantage a...
