Single-source binary hybrid multilevel inverters with cascaded transformers have a bulky transformer connected to their main H-bridge cells in each phase. This bulky transformer has been eliminated in this work without any effect on operation and modulation strategies. The proposed topology has significant advantages from view point of dimensions and number of transformers, design of transforme...

Multilevel inverter is an effective and practical solution for increasing power demand and reducing harmonics of AC waveforms. Such inverters synthesize a desired output voltage from several levels of dc voltages as inputs.

Now-a-days, non-conventional energy sources are playing a vital role in the generation of electrical energy. This is due to disadvantages conventional like pollution, non-availability resources, greenhouse effect. Hence more concentration made by researcher’s on these so called as renewable sources. These used with converters along filters give best output. In this work, we focusing solar and h...

Multilevel inputs are capable of generating nearly sinusoidal waveform. The three level inverters use a source with two numbers of capacitors. The operating waveform contains three different levels. The five level inverters use a source with six numbers of capacitors. The operating waveform contains five different levels. The main objective of this paper is to compare the performance of diode c...

This paper presents a new algorithm for the determination of DC voltage source levels of asymmetric multilevel converters. This technique provides more flexibility to the designer and can generate a large number of levels (odd and even), with minimum number of single-phase full-bridge inverters. This point results in the reduction of switches number, losses, cost of the converter, installation ...
