Prof. Edison Roberto Cabral da Silva (SM’95–F’03) received the B.S.E.E. degree from the Polytechnic School of Pernambuco, Recife, Brazil, in 1965, the M.S.E.E. degree from the University of Rio de Janeiro, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, in 1968, and the Dr. Eng. degree from the Universit Paul Sabatier, Toulouse, France, in 1972. From 2002 to 2012, hewaswith theDepartment of Elec- trical Engineering, Federal University of Campina Grande, Campina Grande, where he is currently a Professor Emeritus, still acting, besides being a Visiting Professor at the Federal University of Paraiba. He was the Director of the Re- search Laboratory on Industrial Electronics and Machine Drives for 30 years. His current research interests include power electronics and motor drives.

Abstract

This paper proposes two seven level asymmetric inverter with coupled inductors which enable a reduction in the number of controlled switching devices. However, the lack of redundant states and difference in the maximum pole... [ view full abstract ]
