A Programmable Single-Phase Multilevel Current Source Inverter

The conventional single-phase multilevel current source inverters suffer from the high count of switches for increasing the levels. Therefore, how to generate more levels with reduced-count of switches is attractive. In this paper, a programmable single-phase current source inverter is presented. It...
