Abstract: Nowadays, increasing demand for worldwide environmental safety, considering the development of an efficient, economical, high capability to transportation, fast response, and eco-friendly railway system is a must. By using different types of advanced power electronic technology such as inverter we can develop an efficient system. An inverter is for regenerative braking, supply auxiliary equipment as well as to control the induction motor drives in the railway system. In railway application Multi-Level Inverter (MLI) used to reduce Electro Magnetic Interference (EMI) increasing efficiency of the system. This paper discusses different inverter topologies and its applications in the railway system. Different types of multilevel inverter topologies with their advantages for reducing the number of power semiconductor devices are studied and presented.
Keywords: Three phase Inverter, Multi-Level Inverter, MLI Topologies, and Application in railway system.
