Modulation and Voltage Balancing of a Five-Level Series-Connected Multilevel Inverter With Reduced Isolated Direct Current Sources
Abstract
The series connection of low-power modules is an alternative solution to realize a multilevel inverter. Unlike a cascade connection, the series connection approach significantly reduces the number of isolated dc sources, thereby the design complexity, cabling of the transformer, and overall system cost become low. In this article, the operation of the series-connected multilevel inverter is presented for a five-level operation, and it is …
