Interconnection and damping assignment passivity based controller for multilevel inverter

This thesis proposes an Interconnection and Damping Assignment PassivityBased Controller (IDA-PBC) to control a 5-level Cascaded H-Bridge Multilevel Inverter (CHMI). The proposed IDA-PBC uses the Port-Controlled Hamiltonian (PCH) theory to modify the CHMI system energy by adding damping, thereby mod...
