This paper presents analysis of losses of switching device for full bridge inverter connected to grid. The losses are a dominant factor that judges efficiency of the system. The losses of switching device are divided to switching loss and conduction loss. They are can be estimated by analyzing periodic switching waveforms. The switching loss is generated at the point that turn-on and off. And the conduction loss is generated while the switch is on condition. The estimated losses of switch are compared to simulation result in this paper.

To transfer the power wirelessly, the inverter converted DC power to a high frequency MHz-grade AC power. And the ECR devices for wirelessly transmitting the power are required. In this paper, the spiral-type ECR device and the high frequency inverter were designed. The operating frequency is approximately 1.2MHz. In addition, using a vector network analyzer, the 1.2MHz operating characteristics of the ECR device for wireless power transfer module are analyzed. It is performed and reviewed on validity of wireless power transfer technologies through experiments.

In this paper, a novel fault detection method for fault tolerant control is proposed when the NPC inverter has a open failure in the switching device. The open fault of switching device is detected by checking the variation of a leg-voltage in the neutral-point-clamped inverter and the two phases control method is used for continuously balance the three phases voltage to the load. It can be achieve the fault tolerant control for improving the reliability of the NPC inverter by the fault detection and reconfiguration. This method has fast detection ability and a simple realization for fault detection, compared with a conventional method. Also, this fast detection ability improved the harmful effects such as DC-link voltage unbalance and overstress to other switching devices from a delay of fault detection. The proposed method has been verified by simulation and experiment.

This paper proposes a new solution by carrier-based SVPWM method to solve the most serious problem of Flying Capacitor Multi-level Inverter that is unbalance of capacitor voltages The voltage unbalance is occurred by the difference of each capacitor's charging and discharging time applied to Flying Capacitor Multi-level Inverter. It controls the variation of capacitor voltages into the mean'0' during some period by means of new carriers using the leg voltage redundancy in the Inverter. The solution can be easily expanded to the multi-level. Also this method can make the switching loss and conduction loss of device equal by the use of leg voltage redundancy. First the unbalance of capacitor voltage is analyzed and the conventional theory of self-balance using phase-shifted carrier is reviewed. And then the new method that is suitable to the Flying Capacitor Inverter is explained. The simulation results would be shown to verify the proposed method
