Opis

Multilevel Inverters: Conventional and Emerging Topologies and Their Control looks at the research pertaining to the evolution of newer topologies of multilevel inverters, also including a newly developed universal control scheme to modulate any given topology with voltage-level based modulation techniques. These extensive qualitative and quantitative evaluations give researchers and industry professionals suitable solutions for given applications with a systematic presentation of topologies, their software-based modeling and simulation, and an exploration of key issues. Topics covered include power distribution amongst the sources, voltage balancing, optimizing switching frequency, and administering asymmetric sources. This valuable reference also provides tools to model and simulate conventional and emerging topologies using MATLAB/Simulink other popular software for experimental set-up.

• Includes a universal control scheme to help the reader learn the control of existing and future topologies
• Presents three new topologies, including systematic development of these topologies and subsequent simulation and experimental studies
• Contains a systematic and step-by-step approach to modeling and simulating various topologies designed to effectively employ low power applications

Krishna Kumar Gupta is an avid teacher, researcher, consultant and an author. Dr. Gupta is currently serving as an Associate Professor, lecturing on Power Electronics, Control Systems and Circuit Theory. In the year 2015, Dr. Gupta was conferred upon with Young Scientist Award by the Government of Madhya Pradesh, India for his research on inverters. In 2016, he has been awarded by the Confederation of Indian Industries (CII) for his contribution in teaching.
Before taking up research on inverters, Dr. Gupta had varying tenures in Bharat Heavy Electricals Limited (BHEL), Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) and National Institute of Technology (NIT) Raipur, India. Post PhD, he was offered a research position at Nanyang Technological University (NTU), Singapore but he was more keen to work on development of technologies for PV based power generation for rural India.

Dr. Gupta is a Member, Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) and has authored several technical papers. He obtained his B.Tech., M.Tech. and Ph.D. degrees from Maulana Azad National Institute of Technology (MANIT), Bhopal, India. He also serves as an active reviewer for many journals of international repute. An entrepreneur, professional engineer, researcher and academician, Pallavee Bhatnagar is a Ph.D. in Power Electronics from Maulana Azad National Institute of Technology (MANIT), Bhopal. Dr. Bhatnagar is currently serving as Principal at Sagar Institute of Science and Technology, Bhopal, India. She concurrently owns and runs a technological enterprise which manufactures electrical equipment. Prior to these, she has worked as an Engineer at National Thermal Power Corporation Limited (NTPC) and All India Radio (AIR). She also works for the social upliftment of women through science and technology and has been honored by the Member of Parliament, Bhopal for the same.

Dr. Bhatnagar is a passionate teacher too. Her subjects of special interests are Electrical Machines, Power Electronics and Control Systems. In addition, she is also heading a research on development of efficient power electronics drivers for HBLEDs under the National Perspective Plan (NPP) funded by the Ministry of Power, Government of India through Central Power Research Institute (CPRI), Bangalore, India. Dr. Bhatnagar is a Member, Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) and Life Member, Institutions of Engineers India (IEI). She has several research papers to her credit.
