Photovoltaic (PV) based multilevel inverters (MLI) have emerged as one of the best alternatives for grid/standalone applications. MLIs offer high range power handling capability with low current and voltage distortion and lesser switching losses as compare to the traditional two-level inverter. Major challenges with generally used multilevel inverter topologies relates to capacitor voltage variation, modulation techniques, and control. The major center of attention of research in this paper is to build up sophisticated modulation and voltage balancing methods for multilevel inverter topologies, competent to reach capacitor voltage parameter and to decrease power switching losses of the inverters. The present paper focuses on closed-loop control of multilevel flying capacitor inverter (FCI). In FCI, the phase shift (PS) based pulse width modulation method is designed and investigated. The closed-loop controller is designed with input voltage control of MLI, whose source is solar PV based Boost converter. Reported simulation results prove the superiority of the closed loop control in maintaining the desired output voltage for various reference values.

<p>This paper proposes a novel approach for obtaining a closed loop control scheme based on Fuzzy Logic Controller to regulate the output voltage waveform of multilevel inverter. Fuzzy Logic Controller is used to guide and control the inverter to synthesize a stepped output voltage waveform with reduced harmonics. In this paper, three different intelligent soft-computing methods are used to design a fuzzy system to be used as a closed loop control system for regulating the inverter output. Gravitational Search Algorithm and Genetic Algorithm are used as optimization methods to evaluate switching angles for different combination of input voltages applied to MLI. Wavelet Transform is used as synthesizing technique to shape stepped output waveform of inverter using orthogonal wavelet sets. The proposed FLC controlled method is carried out for a wider range of input dc voltages by considering ±10% variations in nominal voltage value. A 7-level inverter is used to validate the results of proposed control methods. The three proposed methods are then compared in terms of various parameters like computational time, switching angles and THD to justify the performance and system flexibility. Finally, hardware based results are also obtained to verify the viability of the proposed method.</p>

For the effective use of modern tools, the inherent visuo-motor transformation needs to be mastered. The successful adjustment to and learning of these transformations crucially depends on practice conditions, particularly on the type of visual feedback during practice. Here, a review about empirical research exploring the influence of continuous and terminal visual feedback during practice on the mastery of visuo-motor transformations is provided. Two studies investigating the impact of the type of visual feedback on either direction-dependent visuo-motor gains or the complex visuo-motor transformation of a virtual two-sided lever are presented in more detail. The findings of these studies indicate that the continuous availability of visual feedback supports performance when closed-loop control is possible, but impairs performance when visual input is no longer available. Different approaches to explain these performance differences due to the type of visual feedback during practice are considered. For example, these differences could reflect a process of re-optimization of motor planning in a novel environment or represent effects of the specificity of practice. Furthermore, differences in the allocation of attention during movements with terminal and continuous visual feedback could account for the observed differences.
