Multilevel inverters have been widely used for high-voltage and high-power applications. Their performance is greatly superior to that of conventional two-level inverters due to their reduced total harmonic distortion (THD), lower switch ratings, lower electromagnetic interference, and higher dc link voltages. However, they have some disadvantages such as an increased number of components, a complex pulse width modulation control method, and a voltage-balancing problem. In this paper, a novel nine-level reduced switch cascaded multilevel inverter based on a multilevel DC link (MLDCL) inverter topology with reduced switching components is proposed to improve the multilevel inverter performance by compensating the above mentioned disadvantages. This topology requires fewer components when compared to diode clamped, flying capacitor and cascaded inverters and it requires fewer carrier signals and gate drives. Therefore, the overall cost and circuit complexity are greatly reduced. This paper presents modulation methods by a novel reference and multicarrier based PWM schemes for reduced switch cascaded multilevel inverters (RSCMLI). It also compares the performance of the proposed scheme with that of conventional cascaded multilevel inverters (CCMLI). Simulation results from MATLAB/SIMULINK are presented to verify the performance of the nine-level RSCMLI. Finally, a prototype of the nine-level RSCMLI topology is built and tested to show the performance of the inverter through experimental results.

This paper presents a speed control of a separately excited DC motor by using PI (Proportional Integral). The speed of the separately excited DC motor can be varied below and above the rated speed by various speed control techniques. It can be varied above the rated speed by field flux control and below the rated speed by armature terminal voltage control. The conventional controllers are commonly being used to control the speed of the DC motors in various industrial applications. It's found to be simple, robust and highly effective, when the load disturbance is small. Here, we using chopper as a converter the speed of DC motor is controllable. The chopper firing circuit gets signal from controller and then by supplying variable voltage to the armature of the motor then to obtain the desired speed of the motor. There are two different types of control loops, current controller and speed controller. The controller used is ProportionalIntegral type. The current and speed controller loop is designed and in order to get stable and high speed control of DC motor. The simulation of the above model is done in MATLAB/SIMULING under varying speed and torque condition.
