Abstract:
|
Multilevel converters have been under research and
development for more than three decades and have found successful
industrial application. However, this is still a technology under
development, and many new contributions and new commercial
topologies have been reported in the last few years. The aim of this
paper is to group and review these recent contributions, in order to
establish the current state of the art and trends of the technology,
to provide readers with a comprehensive and insightful review of
where multilevel converter technology stands and is heading. This
paper first presents a brief overview of well-established multilevel
converters strongly oriented to their current state in industrial applications
to then center the discussion on the new converters that
have made their way into the industry. In addition, new promising
topologies are discussed. Recent advances made in modulation and
control of multilevel converters are also addressed. A great part of
this paper is devoted to show nontraditional applications powered
by multilevel converters and how multilevel converters are becoming
an enabling technology in many industrial sectors. Finally,
some future trends and challenges in the further development of
this technology are discussed to motivate future contributions that
address open problems and explore new possibilities |
