The cascaded H-bridge (CHB) inverter is one of the most attractive multilevel topologies for
renewable energy applications. Due to the fact that CHB inverters employ a large number of …

In this study, a fault‐tolerant structure and its controlling method for a cascaded H‐bridge
multilevel inverter is introduced. When a fault occurs in one of the modules, the proposed …

This paper presents a new fault-tolerant solution for cascaded H-bridge (CHB) converters,
which generates equal output voltages in both prefault and single fault conditions. To …

Multilevel inverters are used in a number of high-power applications, including industrial
motor drives, flexible power transmission, and, renewable energy systems. Since the MLI …

Multilevel converters are mainly used in medium-voltage high-power applications. Active
neutral-point-clamped (ANPC) flying capacitor multicell (FCM) converter is a well-known …

This paper presents simplified techniques for the space vector modulation (SVM) of any n-
level multilevel inverter. Three techniques have been presented to simplify the identification …

This paper introduces a new fault-tolerant strategy for a cascaded H-bridge (CHB)-based
static synchronous compensator (STATCOM) with a single failure in power switches. A …

Fault-tolerant operation ability is of great importance for stable operation of cascaded H-
bridge (CHB) converters, under open-circuit (OC) or short-circuit (SC) switch failures in …
