Development of a multilevel converter topology for transformer-less connection of renewable energy systems by Ajayi-Obe, Akinola Ayodeji

“…The proposed converter topology, known as the "tapped inductor quasi-Z-source nested neutral-point-clamped (NNPC) converter," has been analyzed, and designed, and a prototype of the topology developed for experimental verification. A field-programmable gate array (FPGA)-based modulation technique and voltage balancing control technique for maintaining the clamping capacitor voltages was developed. …”

Story, in progress: considering new methods for the analysis of ongoing television series by Graour, Kristina

“…And despite significant contributions to this area of inquiry, it still remains an aspect of television studies that receives less critical attention than the analysis of a programme’s content. This thesis hopes to make a contribution to the field by developing flexible and comprehensive analytical tools that will allow scholars to analyse television series that are vast and, often, still in the process of ‘construction’. …”
