  4. Abstract:
  5. Multilevel converters are mainly used in high power applications (usually more than a few hundred kW). It is therefore important that they can continue working under faulty condition. In this paper, a new method is proposed to improve performance of CHB inverter under faulty condition. The proposed method will be compared with existing methods in term of voltage availability. The converter is simulated in Simulink and the results are provided. These results confirm the effectiveness of the proposed scheme, and are in accordance with the theoretical results
