TL;DR: This paper first presents a brief overview of well-established multilevel converters strongly oriented to their current state in industrial applications to then center the discussion on the new converters that have made their way into the industry.
Journal ArticleDOI
Multilevel Voltage-Source-Converter Topologies for Industrial Medium-Voltage Drives
TL;DR: This paper covers the high-power voltage-source inverter and the most used multilevel-inverter topologies, including the neutral-point-clamped, cascaded H-bridge, and flying-capacitor converters.
Journal ArticleDOI
The age of multilevel converters arrives
TL;DR: In this paper, the most relevant characteristics of multilevel converters, to motivate possible solutions, and to show that energy companies have to bet on these converters as a good solution compared with classic two-level converters.
Journal ArticleDOI
Model Predictive Control—A Simple and Powerful Method to Control Power Converters
TL;DR: The feasibility and great potential of FCS-MPC due to present-day signal-processing capabilities, particularly for power systems with a reduced number of switching states and more complex operating principles, such as matrix converters are found.
Journal ArticleDOI
Circuit topologies, modeling, control schemes, and applications of modular multilevel converters
TL;DR: A review of the latest achievements of modular multilevel converters regarding the mentioned research topics, new applications, and future trends is presented in this article, where the authors present several attractive features such as a modular structure, the capability of transformer-less operation, easy scalability in terms of voltage and current, low expense for redundancy and fault tolerant operation, high availability, utilization of standard components, and excellent quality of the output waveforms.
