Comparative study on various unipolar PWM strategies for single phase five-level cascaded inverter
A single phase cascaded inverter consisting of two full bridges creates a five-level AC output voltage. Due to switch combination redundancies, there are certain degrees of freedom to generate the five-level AC output voltage. This paper presents the different types of unipolar pulse width modulation (PWM) strategies for the chosen inverter. The effectiveness of the developed strategies are ...

Hydraulic engineering of inverted siphons in Roman age: a review
In this work the authors wish to present a technology, less known if compared with the Roman age arcaded bridges used to cross broad and deep valleys: the inverted siphons. These structures are very complex hydraulic systems: for their good functioning, in fact, not only adequate constructing tricks were necessary, but also good theoretical knowledge, to be applied during the planning stage. In ...

A predictive algorithm for minimising dead–time distortions in sine–wave VSI with L–C output filter
In many applications, single–phase sine–wave inverters are operated with low–pass filters at the output to deliver a low–distortion sinusoidal voltage to the load. In such cases, it is essential that the output be as close to a sinusoid as possible. However, conventional bridge–type inverters, which must be operated with some dead time, suffer from dead–time distortion problems. This effect ...

Multilevel inverters have recently emerged as very important alternatives in high power applications. Several modulation methods have been applied to multilevel inverters. When utilised at low switching frequencies, existing multilevel carrier-based pulse width modulation (PWM) strategies have no special provisions to render quality output; several lower order harmonics are included in the ...

An adaptive hysteresis dead-band-based SVPWM method for multi-level inverter
The fast rise time of output voltage pulses (dv/dt) in PWM multi-level inverters (MLI) is one of the major factors of the increase of electromagnetic interference EMI and the shortness of motor useful life. Moreover, irregular voltage pulses, which only appear for critical modulation indexes, can deepen this interference phenomenon. To overcome this problem, this paper proposes an adaptive ...
