Band-Limited Three-Level Modulation for Balancing Capacitor Voltages in Neutral-Point-Clamped Converters [PDF]
In this article, a band-limited three-level modulation scheme is proposed for a three-phase neutral-point-clamped (NPC) converter with an aim to balance the average capacitor voltages under all operating conditions. When conventional carrier-based pulsewidth modulation is applied, the amplitude of neutral point (NP)-voltage ripple tends to increase ...

A Neutral Point Voltage Balancing Method for Multi-Level GTO Inverters
The balancing problem of the DC-link capacitor voltage is inherent in the NPC inverter. It is extremely important to keep the upper and lower DC-link capacitor voltages balanced to guarantee the three level operation of the inverter. Generally, the balancing of the DC-link voltage degrades at very low operating frequencies of the inverter.

Neutral points voltage balancing control of a four-level π-type converter [PDF]
In this paper, a carrier-based modulation method with optimal zero-sequence signal injection has been introduced to modulate a four-level π-type converter as well as regulate its DC-link neutral points' voltages. The two neutral points' voltages can be well controlled with a back-to-back configuration even under high modulation index and high power ...

Controlling Polymer Capture and Translocation by Electrostatic Polymer-Pore Interactions [PDF]
Polymer translocation experiments typically involve anionic polyelectrolytes such as DNA molecules driven through negatively charged nanopores. Quantitative modelling of polymer capture to the nanopore followed by translocation therefore necessitates the

Broken Symmetry and Coherence of Molecular Vibrations in Tunnel Transitions
We examine the Breit-Wigner resonances that ensue from field effects in molecular single electron transistors (SETs). The adiabatic dynamics of a quantum dot elastically attached to electrodes are treated in the Born-Oppenheimer approach.
