Multilevel Inverters: Conventional and Emerging Topologies and Their Control is written with two primary objectives: (a) explanation of fundamentals of multilevel inverters (MLIs) with reference to the general philosophy of power electronics; and (b) enabling the reader to systematically analyze a given topology with the possibility of contributing towards the ongoing evolution of topologies. The authors also present an updated status of current research in the field of MLIs with an emphasis on the evolution of newer topologies. In addition, the work includes a universal control scheme, with which any given topology can be modulated. Extensive qualitative and quantitative evaluations of emerging topologies give researchers and industry professionals suitable solutions for specific applications with a systematic presentation of software-based modeling and simulation, and an exploration of key issues.
Topics covered also include power distribution among sources, voltage balancing, optimization switching frequency and asymmetric source configuration. This valuable reference further provides tools to model and simulate conventional and emerging topologies using MATLAB®/Simulink® and discusses execution of experimental set-up using popular interfacing tools.
The book includes a Foreword by Dr. Frede Blaabjerg, Fellow IEEE, Professor and VILLUM Investigator, Aalborg University, Denmark.

Krishna Kumar Gupta is an avid teacher, researcher, consultant and
an author. Dr. Gupta is currently serving as an Associate
Professor, lecturing on Power Electronics, Control Systems and
Circuit Theory. In the year 2015, Dr. Gupta was conferred upon with
Young Scientist Award by the Government of Madhya Pradesh, India
for his research on inverters. In 2016, he has been awarded by the
Confederation of Indian Industries (CII) for his contribution in
teaching.
Before taking up research on inverters, Dr. Gupta had varying
tenures in Bharat Heavy Electricals Limited (BHEL), Tata
Consultancy Services (TCS) and National Institute of Technology
(NIT) Raipur, India. Post PhD, he was offered a research position
at Nanyang Technological University (NTU), Singapore but he was
more keen to work on development of technologies for PV based power
generation for rural India.
Dr. Gupta is a Member, Institute of Electrical and Electronics
Engineers (IEEE) and has authored several technical papers. He
obtained his B.Tech., M.Tech. and Ph.D. degrees from Maulana Azad
National Institute of Technology (MANIT), Bhopal, India. He also
serves as an active reviewer for many journals of international
repute. An entrepreneur, professional engineer, researcher and
academician, Pallavee Bhatnagar is a Ph.D. in Power Electronics
from Maulana Azad National Institute of Technology (MANIT), Bhopal.
Dr. Bhatnagar is currently serving as Principal at Sagar Institute
of Science and Technology, Bhopal, India. She concurrently owns and
runs a technological enterprise which manufactures electrical
equipment. Prior to these, she has worked as an Engineer at
National Thermal Power Corporation Limited (NTPC) and All India
Radio (AIR). She also works for the social upliftment of women
through science and technology and has been honored by the Member
of Parliament, Bhopal for the same.
Dr. Bhatnagar is a passionate teacher too. Her subjects of special
interests are Electrical Machines, Power Electronics and Control
Systems. In addition, she is also heading a research on development
of efficient power electronics drivers for HBLEDs under the
National Perspective Plan (NPP) funded by the Ministry of Power,
Government of India through Central Power Research Institute
(CPRI), Bangalore, India. Dr. Bhatnagar is a Member, Institute of
Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) and Life Member,
Institutions of Engineers India (IEI). She has several research
papers to her credit.
