Abstract
The present invention relates, without being limited thereto, to the field of power electronics and non-linear control, and in particular to a topology structure of a multilevel power converter of the type of a cascaded bridge. The present invention provides a new configuration of power converter comprising a functional block and is composed of a low number of devices; five sources of DC voltage, nine semiconductor switches, and two semiconductor diodes. Where switches S,and S,are devices complementary to each other. On the other hand, switch Scorresponds to a bidirectional switch. The present invention, in addition, presents a plurality of functional blocks connected in series, each of said functional blocks having the configuration of the circuit.
