They talk about the current state of the industry and the market for electronic airplanes and present the new multilevel inverter technology. Besides discussing the special features and advantages of this technology compared to classical DC/AC converters, as well as associated requirements, they highlight software-related safety issues in the development of multilevel systems. They also discuss the selection of hardware components. Nina and Wolfgang provide details of the dtec.bw ELAPSED project, which is developing this type of multilevel system.
