About this ebook

Multilevel Inverters: Conventional and Emerging Topologies and Their Control is written with two primary objectives: (a) explanation of fundamentals of multilevel inverters (MLIs) with reference to the general philosophy of power electronics; and (b) enabling the reader to systematically analyze a given topology with the possibility of contributing towards the ongoing evolution of topologies. The authors also present an updated status of current research in the field of MLIs with an emphasis on the evolution of newer topologies. In addition, the work includes a universal control scheme, with which any given topology can be modulated. Extensive qualitative and quantitative evaluations of emerging topologies give researchers and industry professionals suitable solutions for specific applications with a systematic presentation of software-based modeling and simulation, and an exploration of key issues.

Topics covered also include power distribution among sources, voltage balancing, optimization switching frequency and asymmetric source configuration. This valuable reference further provides tools to model and simulate conventional and emerging topologies using MATLAB®/Simulink® and discusses execution of experimental set-up using popular interfacing tools.

The book includes a Foreword by Dr. Frede Blaabjerg, Fellow IEEE, Professor and VILLUM Investigator, Aalborg University, Denmark.

  • Includes a universal control scheme to help the reader learn the control of existing topologies and those which can be proposed in the future
  • Presents three new topologies. Systematic development of these topologies and subsequent simulation and experimental studies exemplify an approach to the development of newer topologies and verification of their working and experimental verification.
  • Contains a systematic and step-by-step approach to modelling and simulating various topologies designed to effectively employ low-power applications

Chapter 1

Basics of Inverters

Abstract

In this chapter, fundamental concepts related to power electronics and inverters are discussed. Popular terminology is defined so that understanding multilevel inverters becomes much easier.

1.1 Introduction

While the demand for electrical energy continues to grow throughout the world, it is estimated that 100% of electrical energy will flow through power electronics, especially in developed countries [1]. It is anticipated that the role of power electronics in this era will be as crucial as that of computers and communication technologies. Power electronics has changed the face of electrical engineering. Applications of power electronics include regulated power supplies, uninterruptible power supplies (UPS), electrochemical processes, heating and lighting control, welding, reactive power compensation, flexible AC transmission systems, active filters, energy storage, motor drives, and so on. Of all power electronics converters, DC to AC converters (i.e. inverters) are most widely employed in the modern set-up of electric power generation, transmission, distribution, utilization, and
