Harmonics Analysis of Single Phase VSI with 5-level and 7-level Inverter
Abstract: Abstract: The conventional two-level inverter is most commonly used for AC drive systems. The inverter produces harmonics, which will cause heating of the power electronic devices as well as load and deteriorate the life of it. Thus, anyhow harmonics should be suppressed or removed, the most common or well-known method to filter out harmonics are introduction of various filters between inverter and load according to requirements. The filters are mainly …

Improvement of Indirect Vector Control Induction Motor Drive Performance under Low Speed Operation using Five-Level Inverter
Abstract: The dynamic performance of vector controlled induction motor drive is poor and peak motor torque decreases under low speed operation. This reduction in torque is due to the non-linearity of voltage to frequency (Hz) during low frequency operation. The non-linearity is caused by stator voltage drop which in turn requires a larger percentage of overall terminal voltage. To overcome these problems multilevel inverter fed induction motor drive is presented in …

27- Level High Frequency Transformer Based- MLI for Integration of Renewable Energy
Abstract: This research proposes a unique high-frequency transformer (HFT)-based multilevel inverter(MLI) with 27 levels can be constructed with a single DCpower supply and twenty switching devices. The proposedMLI topology comprises three medium frequency isolationtransformers, each with a different rated voltage. Since thetransformers used in MLI operate at high frequencies, thesuggested system has a smaller volume and weight. Acascaded H-bridge (CHB) connects each transformer'sprimary windings, and the secondary windings areconnected in series …

Comparison of Symmetrical and Asymmetrical Cascaded H-Bridge Inverter with Single DC Source
Abstract: This paper presents the comparison of traditional cascaded H-bridge inverter with isolated DC sources (symmetrical arrangement) and the proposed cascaded H-bridge inverter with single DC source (asymmetrical arrangement). Also, fundamental switching strategy is used to generate the control pulses. A conventional cascaded H-bridge (CHB) inverter requires ‘n’ numbers of DC sources for 2n + 1 levels. Without requiring transformers, the scheme proposed here allows the use of a single DC …
