Description

Multilevel Inverters: Conventional and Emerging Topologies and Their Control is written with two primary objectives: (a) explanation of fundamentals of multilevel inverters (MLIs) with reference to the general philosophy of power electronics; and (b) enabling the reader to systematically analyze a given topology with the possibility of contributing towards the ongoing evolution of topologies. The authors also present an updated status of current research in the field of MLIs with an emphasis on the evolution of newer topologies. In addition, the work includes a universal control scheme, with which any given topology can be modulated. Extensive qualitative and quantitative evaluations of emerging topologies give researchers and industry professionals suitable solutions for specific applications with a systematic presentation of software-based modeling and simulation, and an exploration of key issues. Topics covered also include power distribution among sources, voltage balancing, optimization switching frequency and asymmetric source configuration. This valuable reference further provides tools to model and simulate conventional and emerging topologies using MATLAB®/Simulink® and discusses execution of experimental set-up using popular interfacing tools. The book includes a Foreword by Dr. Frede Blaabjerg, Fellow IEEE, Professor and VILLUM Investigator, Aalborg University, Denmark.

Key Features

  • Includes a universal control scheme to help the reader learn the control of existing topologies and those which can be proposed in the future
  • Presents three new topologies. Systematic development of these topologies and subsequent simulation and experimental studies exemplify an approach to the development of newer topologies and verification of their working and experimental verification.
  • Contains a systematic and step-by-step approach to modelling and simulating various topologies designed to effectively employ low-power applications

Readership

Researchers and Engineers working on development of topologies for specific applications such as HVDC, renewable energy, electric vehicles; Electrical, power, renewable and energy engineers; undergraduate and postgraduate students willing to learn the application of philosophy of power electronics for multilevel power conversion

    Good book for basics and advanced learning

    Concepts are well explained, much easier than reading hell lot of research papers. Great work !

    A Great Book for Multilevel Inverters and For Power Electronics too !

    This is the ONLY book available which can help you understand multilevel inverters. I have been going thru so many research papers for past many months but reading this book once has cleared my concepts. My university has an elective course too in multilevel inverters and our prof is now referrring to this book. PROS: Fundamentals are explained very very clearly. In addition to multilevel inverters, if you are also interested in power electronics in general, you should read this book. You will understand how power electronics work. Simulation of multilevel inverters becomes easy, Simulink models are explained. Control scheme is explained which is topology independent. All topologies in one place and a very detailed comparison. Very refined concepts like power balancing are explained, CONS A bit expensive book, but the cost is worth it in terms of contents. Fault tolerance is not fully addressed.

    Extremely good and the only one !

    Finally I have a book exclusively on multilevel converters. Read it with great attention. Afdrresses all points related to mlis. Must buy for researchers like me working on mlis. way to go...
