Design of fault-tolerant cascaded H-Bridge multilevel inverter with output-side transformers using bidirectional switches

Globally increasing energy demand, running short of fossil fuels and researches for finding environment friendly choices strengthen a solution of local electricity production, especially from renewable energy sources. In this type of systems, inverters play a key role by providing power transforms. Multilevel inverters can achieve very low total harmonic distortion (THD) values at low switching frequencies without using any filtering units when...
