These converters have attracted a lot of attention during recent years and exist in different …

With wide-spread application of power electronic converters in high power systems, there
has been a growing interest in system reliability analysis and fault-tolerant capabilities. This …

With wide-spread application of power electronic systems across many different industries,
their reliability is being studied extensively. This paper presents a comprehensive review of …

This paper is related to faults that can appear in multilevel (ML) inverters, which have a high
number of components. This is a subject of increasing importance in high-power inverters …

Reliability is one of the key issues for the application of Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistors
(IGBTs) in power electronic converters. Many efforts have been devoted to the reduction of …

This paper proposes a new diagnosis method of an open-switch fault and fault-tolerant
control strategy for T-type three-level inverter systems. The location of the faulty switch can …

In this paper, a novel failure-detection technique and its analog circuit for insulated gate
bipolar transistors (IGBTs), under open-and short-circuit failures, are proposed. This …

Compared with neutral-point-clamped (NPC) inverters, active NPC (ANPC) inverters enable
a substantially increased output power and an improved performance at zero speed for high …

Multilevel converters have many power devices and drivers. Thus, a direct reliability
calculation based only on the first failure occurrence on one of the components clearly leads …
