Multilevel converters have been under research and development for more than three
decades and have found successful industrial application. However, this is still a technology …

As multilevel inverters are gaining increasing importance, newer topologies are being
proposed to reduce part count for large number of levels in output voltage. A simplified five …

Having a reduced number of switches and isolated DC sources yet generating a higher
number of voltage levels has been always the challenge when selecting the appropriate …

This work is devoted to review and analyze the most relevant characteristics of multilevel
converters, to motivate possible solutions, and to show that we are in a decisive instant in …

This paper introduces a new multilevel converter topology that has many steps with fewer
power electronic switches. The proposed circuit consists of series-connected submultilevel …

In this paper, a novel cascaded seven-level inverter topology with a single input source
integrating switched-capacitor techniques is presented. Compared with the traditional …

In this paper, a new topology of a cascaded multilevel converter is proposed. The proposed
topology is based on a cascaded connection of single-phase submultilevel converter units …

A novel H-bridge multilevel pulsewidth modulation converter topology based on a series
connection of a high-voltage diode-clamped inverter and a low-voltage conventional inverter …

The cascaded multilevel converters are the most favorable topologies of multilevel
converters. However, they have the main disadvantage of using multiple independent dc …

This paper presents a cascaded H-bridge multilevel inverter that can be implemented using
only a single dc power source and capacitors. Standard cascaded multilevel inverters …
