A Hybrid-Bridge-Based Dual Active Bridge Converter With Reduced Device Count
In this paper, a hybrid-bridge-based dual-active-bridge (DAB) converter with a three-level (TL) half-bridge and a two-level full-bridge is proposed, which can be utilized to interface the medium voltage and low voltage DC.

We propose a novel five‐level active‐neutral‐point‐clamped converter utilising reverse blocking IGBT (RB‐IGBT). The inverter configuration significantly reduces conduction losses, as only two switches are on the current paths in some switching states. We also propose an optimised state machine‐based modulation strategy.

Active Voltage Balancing Control of 9‐Level Multicell‐Based A‐NPC Inverters
We present a optimization‐free PWM control for single‐phase 9‐level FC A‐NPC inverters that converts measured current and capacitor voltages into logic equations to both balance FC voltages and generate the commanded levels. By removing objective functions/optimizers, it enables fast, simple implementation, with experiments showing robust performance ...
