Abstract

Multilevel inverter has the advancements of high output voltage, high output power, output voltage waveform being similar to sinusoidal wave, small variety rate and little EMI. Due to these features, multilevel inverter has wide application prospect in comprehensive treatment of power quality, traction, specialty in high voltage speed modulation field. This paper presents a review of different topologies like diode-clamped inverter (neutral-point clamped), capacitor-clamped inverter (flying capacitor), and cascaded inverter with separate DC sources, control strategies and SVPWM techniques in detail. Applications which the multilevel inverters play a key role presently are generalized. Finally, future development trends are addressed.
