Multilevel Inverter Topologies with Sliding Mode Control: A Review

Abstract

Multilevel inverters are known as highly efficient inverters, which can replace single level inverters in industrial and domestic applications.  This paper presents a review of multilevel inverter topologies with sliding mode control. The sliding mode control is a kind of nonlinear control which has been developed mainly for the control of the variable structure system. Sliding mode control is highly suitable for applications in nonlinear systems, industrial applications, electrical drives, automotive control and furnace control.
