TLDR
Experimental and numeric results verify the impacting of the two methodologies design in a five-level flying capacitor inverter.Abstract:
This work evaluates two capacitors design methodologies for Flying Capacitors Inverters. The first design methodology is developed through analysis of one switching period of the flying capacitor inverter. The second one analyses a complete output period of the inverter using the double Fourier series. Bolt methodologies use of the Phase-Shift Pulse Width Modulation. Experimental and numeric results verify the impacting of the two methodologies design in a five-level flying capacitor inverter.read more

Voltage Balancing of a New Five-Level Multilevel Inverter with a Modified Carrier Pulse Width Modulation Scheme
TL;DR: In this paper , the authors proposed a voltage balancing algorithm based on a modified multi-carrier based modulation technique for a new five-level multilevel inverter, where the carriers are distributed non-uniformly throughout the carrier space leading to an output voltage with overlapped voltage steps.
