Preface

In this book, a thorough and comprehensive analysis of multilevel converters with a common DC voltage source is presented. Their control and modulation strategies are described as well as their characteristics and design trade-offs.

The fact that power electronic converters are at the core of modern conversion systems, together with the need for improving efficiency and operation flexibility, lead to constant technical challenges around power converter topologies and control methods. Nowadays, modern semiconductor devices have reached high current and voltage levels. In addition, their power handling limits can be extended if they are used in multilevel converter configurations. However, a detailed understanding of characteristics and ...
