Publisher Summary This chapter demonstrates the state of the art of multilevel power
converter technology, discussing fundamental multilevel converter structures and …

This paper presents a control scheme and comprehensive analysis for a unified power flow
controller (UPFC) on the basis of theory, computer simulation and experiment. This …

This paper presents the development of a control scheme for a multilevel diode-clamped
converter connected in a series-parallel fashion to the electrical system such that it can …

This paper presents dynamic control and performance of a unified power flow controller
(UPFC) intended for installation on a transmission system consisting of two sets of three …

This paper presents a transient analysis of a unified power flow controller (UPFC), and
design of capacitance of the DC-link capacitor. Active power flowing out of the series device …

The neutral-point-clamped multilevel converter is an attractive implementation of the unified
power flow controller because it facilitates back to back operation, high voltage operation …

Capacitor voltage unbalance in neutral point clamped (NPC) multilevel inverters is an
inherent challenge and has a severe effect on five and higher level inverters. Current …

In this paper, novel two-quadrant buck/boost and one-quadrant boost four-level DC/DC
power converters are introduced. The primary application for these converters is that of …
