A Family of 5-Level Boost-Active Neutral-Point-Clamped (5L-BANPC) Inverters with Full DC-Link Voltage Utilization Designed Using Half-Bridges
Conventional 5-level active neutral-point-clamped (5L-ANPC) topology and state-of-the-art 5-level hybrid active neutral-point-clamped (5L-HANPC) topology are popular for inverter applications.However, their dc-link voltage utilization is limited to only 50%.With the maximum voltage level generated by only half dc-link voltage, these inverters are n
