Power devices based on wide-bandgap material such as silicon carbide (SiC) can operate
at higher switching speeds, higher voltages, and higher temperatures compared to those …

Neutral-point-clamped multilevel converters are currently a suitable solution for a wide
range of applications. It is well known that the capacitor voltage balance is a major issue for …

Neutral-point-clamped (NPC) inverters are the most widely used topology of multilevel
inverters in high-power applications (several megawatts). This paper presents in a very …

This paper briefly reviews the common-mode voltage (CMV) and neutral point (NP) voltage
for neutral point clamped three-level inverter (NPC TLI). Then, the space vector pulsewidth …

The neutral-point voltage unbalance problem holds back the extensive application of neutral-
point-clamped (NPC) multilevel converters with more than three voltage levels in industry …

Four-level hybrid-clamped inverter is a newly proposed topology that can operate under a
wide voltage range without switches connected in series. However, when it is applied in …

In this paper, a model-predictive control of medium voltage, grid-tied four-level diode-
clamped inverter for use in high-power wind energy conversion systems is presented. The …

The output voltage quality of some of the single-phase multilevel inverters can be improved
when their dc-link voltages are regulated asymmetrically. Symmetrical and asymmetrical …

In addition to energy losses produced by mistracking the global power peak, partially
shaded PV systems are susceptible to extra power losses due to power mismatch in their …

In this paper, a model predictive scheme is proposed to control the grid-connected high-
power four-level diode-clamped inverter. To predict the future behavior of active and reactive …
