多电平变换器的研究和开发已有三十多年的历史，并已成功地应用于工业领域。然而，这仍然是一项正在开发中的技术，并且在过去几年中已经报道了许多新的贡献和新的商业拓扑。本文的目的是分组和审查这些最新的贡献，以建立当前的艺术和技术的发展趋势，为读者提供一个全面的和有见地的审查多电平变换器技术的立场和方向。本文首先简要概述了成熟的多电平转换器，强烈地面向他们在工业应用中的当前状态，然后集中在新的转换器，已经进入行业的讨论。此外，还讨论了新的有前途的拓扑结构。最新进展的调制和控制的多电平变换器也解决。本文的很大一部分致力于展示由多电平转换器供电的非传统应用，以及多电平转换器如何成为许多工业部门的一项使能技术。最后，讨论了该技术进一步发展的一些未来趋势和挑战，以激励未来的贡献，解决开放的问题，探索新的可能性。
Multilevel converters have been under research and development for more than three decades and have found successful industrial application. However, this is still a technology under development, and many new contributions and new commercial topologies have been reported in the last few years. The aim of this paper is to group and review these recent contributions, in order to establish the current state of the art and trends of the technology, to provide readers with a comprehensive and insightful review of where multilevel converter technology stands and is heading. This paper first presents a brief overview of well-established multilevel converters strongly oriented to their current state in industrial applications to then center the discussion on the new converters that have made their way into the industry. In addition, new promising topologies are discussed. Recent advances made in modulation and control of multilevel converters are also addressed. A great part of this paper is devoted to show nontraditional applications powered by multilevel converters and how multilevel converters are becoming an enabling technology in many industrial sectors. Finally, some future trends and challenges in the further development of this technology are discussed to motivate future contributions that address open problems and explore new possibilities.
