Round 1

Reviewer 1 Report

Congratulations and I appreciate the work done. High-quality manuscript. I have no major comments. The authors achieved their goal.


In the final version, the heading of Table 2 should be moved to the beginning of the next page and Figure 2 should also be on one page.

 

Dear authors. In my opinion, the text is very well written and understandable.
1) The subject is important and modern. Diode clamped multilevel inverter has many advantages and is now often used in new applications.
2) The authors provided a sufficient overview of the current literature, although there could be more items published after 2015,
3) The authors proposed a modification of VSVPWM modulation by a new one called FRCVBPWM, which allowed to reduce the number of switches. This is very important to reduce energy losses.
4) The theoretical description is prepared very well.
5) Simulations were carried out and, what is very important, the experiment was verified. This fully supports the thesis of the manuscript. The results are very good.
6) The drawings and their description are legible.

I have two editorial notes:

In the final version, the heading of Table 2 should be moved to the beginning of the next page and Figure 2 should also be on one page.

Author Response

Thanks for your comments. The formats of the manuscript are improved. Moreover, the manuscript is fully checked to improve English.

Reviewer 2 Report

The manuscript entitled, "Full Range Capacitor Voltage Balance PWM Strategy for Diode-Clamped Multilevel Inverter" is good and there are minor things to make corrections.

  1. In line 90, 'muse'. It must be 'must'.
  2. Please check the caption representation for Table 2 (or Table II) in line 129 and 148. Use according to the format.
  3. Please check the overall English usage.

Author Response

Thanks for your comments. And now, the manuscript is fully checked to avoid those problems and improve English. Moreover, the changes are marked in red.
