decentralized control strategies are popular candidates in microgrids control because of their reliability and performance. conventionally, droop control (as a main decentralized strategy) is been utilized in order to prevent permanent droop of voltage and frequency after change in loads and also to share generated power between distributed generation units. in this paper, a new droop control s...

This paper deals with Single Phase Five level Inverter using Multi Carrier Based Pulse width modulation Technique. The voltage quality of conventional two level inverter is poor due the presence of harmonics and hence produces power loss which reduces the efficiency of the system.
