When we speak of efficiency, we are referring mainly to electrical efficiency. This usage, however, is a restriction of the meaning of the word efficiency itself. In power-electronics applications the ...

Although they require more complex circuits, three-level inverters are more efficient than their two-level cousins. Effective partitioning simplifies implementation of the three-level configuration.

Three-level rectifiers and inverters constitute a critical component in modern power conversion systems, offering improved voltage quality, reduced harmonic distortion and increased power efficiency ...

Semikron has added a new topology for use in three-level inverters to its Semitop IGBT product range. The topology is designed to integrate IGBT technology with lower switching and conduction losses ...

The U.S. conglomerate plans to deploy and test new controls with its commercial PV LV5 inverter platform. It aims to develop “grid-forming” controls to allow wind and solar inverters to form voltage ...

Semikron has added a new topology for use in three-level inverters to its Semitop IGBT product range. The topology integrates IGBT technology with lower switching and conduction losses to produce ...

The Technologie-Lizenz-Büro (TLB) is offering licenses for manufacturers in the field of wind power, motor control, electricity supply systems and uninterruptible power supplies. On 5 September 2013, ...

Unidrive SP includes an encoder-equipped ac induction motor that accurately controls speed and position for a wide range of loads. G7 ac drive features 480-V 3-level inverter architecture to eliminate ...

Scientists in India have tested a new inverter topology with a single-phase, induction-motor water pump. The seven-level inverter, with five power semiconductor switches, is said to be particularly ...
