In this paper, the single and three-phased multilevel converter is presented. Modulation methods and control schemes have been developed and tested on low-power prototypes. Further development has been made on the key components like the DC/DC converter for the power supplies of each level an on the medium-frequency transformer for the DC/DC converter.multilevel converter2-quadrant DC/DC convertermedium frequency transformatorcurrent state-space controllerSingle-and three phased multilevel converters for traction systems 50Hz/16 2/3 Hztext::conference output::conference paper not in proceedings
