A cost-effective solution to power the gate drivers of multilevel inverters using the bootstrap power supply technique (2009)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Klumpner, C., & Shattock, N. A cost-effective solution to power the gate drivers of multilevel inverters using the bootstrap power supply technique. Presented at 2009 IEEE Applied Power Electronics Conference and Exposition (APEC 2009)

Multilevel inverters are traditionally seen as a step forward in DC/AC conversion, providing more output voltage levels, better quality of the generated waveform and lower switching losses than the two-level and can process higher voltages with a giv...

Experimental evaluation of hybrid cycloconverters (2009)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Klumpner, C., Xu, T., & Clare, J. C. Experimental evaluation of hybrid cycloconverters. Presented at Twenty-Fourth Annual IEEE Applied Power Electronics Conference and Exposition (APEC'09)

Power converters consisting of naturally commutated thyristors such as cycloconverters and current source inverters were the first used in driving electrical motors with variable speed but now due to their inferior performance compared to forced comm...
