TL;DR: This article updates and summarizes the recently developed multilevel topologies with a reduced component count, based on their advantages, disadvantages, construction, and specific applications, and proposes a comparative method with novel factors to take component ratings into account.

TL;DR: A significant factor (FC/L) is proposed, which is developed to define the number of the required components per pole voltage level and a detailed comparison based on FC/L is provided in order to categorize the different topologies of the MLIs addressed in the literature.

TL;DR: The proposed MMLI inverter consists of repeated modular primary cells that are connected in series configuration and can be extended to get more output voltage levels by adding additional cells without increasing voltage stresses across power switches.

TL;DR: A novel multilevel topology for three-phase applications, having three-level and hybrid N-level modular configurations, enabling low-, medium-, and high-voltage operations, is presented, and the key features of the proposed topology in terms of component count, blocking voltage, and dc-link requirements are highlighted via a comparative study.

TL;DR: Flexible solution using software control algorithms coupled with an embedded RT kernel on powerful embedded processor cores, combined with reconfigurable logic and dedicated resources on the Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA).
