| Summary: | Today, power electronic-based converters are at the core of many modern systems, such as smart grids and electric vehicles. In this context, the Dual Two-Level Inverter (DTLI) supplying an open-end winding machine offers an innovative and promising solution for marine propulsion, aeronautics, and electric vehicles. This configuration provides several advantages, including a reduced DC bus voltage, enhanced fault tolerance, and improved overall system performance. However, ensuring optimal energy efficiency and high-power quality remains a major challenge given the increasing demands for performance and sustainability. This paper presents a state-of-the-art review of the main DTLI configurations and their impact on system performance. Three architectures are analyzed, highlighting their benefits and limitations. This study aims to demonstrate the influence of the DC bus voltage ratio and pulse width modulation strategies on power quality and energy efficiency. The objective is to enhance the understanding of the DTLI’s potential and to guide its integration into other electrical systems. |
