Modular symmetric and asymmetric reduced count switch multilevel current source inverter

Current source inverters (CSIs) have prominent features compared to voltage source inverters. The CSIs are less affected by grid voltage fluctuations, their control is simple and they have inherent short-circuit protection. This study proposes a novel multilevel CSI based on modular cells. The proposed topology is performed based on the parallel connection of two-switch modules. According to the v...
