Description:
This book offers a novel, comprehensive analysis of voltage-source multilevel converters and their applications. Focusing on converters with a common DC voltage source, the authors examine two case studies that include both symmetrical and asymmetrical topologies. The text provides a simple and immediate understanding of the principles of operation of voltage-source DC/AC multilevel converters and includes graphical representation of the states of power switches of universal multilevel converters. This enables readers to understand traditional topologies and also offers a powerful tool for the analysis of new topologies.
