AbstractIn this paper, a new three-phase, five-level inverter

topology with a single-dc source is presented. The proposed topology is obtained by cascading a three-level flying capacitor inverter
with a flying H-bridge power cell in each phase. This topology has
redundant switching states for generating different pole voltages.
By selecting appropriate switching states, the capacitor voltages
can be balanced instantaneously (as compared to the fundamental) in any direction of the current, irrespective of the load power
factor. Another important feature of this topology is that if any
H-bridge fails, it can be bypassed and the configuration can still
operate as a three-level inverter at its full power rating. This feature improves the reliability of the circuit. A 3-kW induction motor
is run with the proposed topology for the full modulation range.
The effectiveness of the capacitor balancing algorithm is tested for
the full range of speed and during the sudden acceleration of the
motor.
Index TermsFlying capacitor (FC), H-bridge, induction motor
drive, multilevel inverter.
