Themulti-levelvoltage reinjection concept makes it possible for a converter to provide acceptable harmonic reduction withfewerswitchingcomponentsthanthe conventionalmulti-level schemes.
They then analyze how the remaining major cost components, switching and transmission for both types of networks and interconnecting with the switched circuit network for the IP-based networks, change with the change in technology.
But it is notoriously ill-suited to high-tech industries that have to tailor each item to a customer's specific needs (as in a data-switching centre or air-traffic-control system) or in which it is crucial that thousands of interrelated components all work correctly together (as in a rocket vehicle).
