RT Journal Article T1 Survey on fault operation on multilevel inverters A1 Lezana, Pablo A1 Pou, Josep A1 Meynard, Thierry A. A1 Rodriguez, Jose A1 Ceballos, Salvador A1 Richardeau, Frédéric AB This paper is related to faults that can appear in multilevel (ML) inverters, which have a high number of components. This is a subject of increasing importance in high-power inverters. First, methods to identify a fault are classified and briefly described for each topology. In addition, a number of strategies and hardware modifications that allow for operation in faulty conditions are also presented. As a result of the analyzed works, it can be concluded that ML inverters can significantly increase their availability and are able to operate even with some faulty components.
