This paper proposes a single-phase seven-level inverter for grid-connected photovoltaic systems, with a novel pulse width-modulated (PWM) control scheme. Three reference signals that are identical to each other with an offset that is equivalent to the amplitude of the triangular carrier signal were used to generate the PWM signals. The inverter is capable of producing seven levels of output-vol...

In this work, initially a new topology for sub multilevel inverter is introduced and then series connection of the sub multilevel inverters is developed as a generalized fifteen level multilevel inverter. This multilevel inverter has been analyzed in asymmetric conditions with different values of DC sources. This new multilevel inverter topology has the advantage of reduced number of switches c...

This paper presents a comparison between two Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) algorithms applied to a three-level Neutral Point Clamped (NPC) Voltage Source Inverter (VSI). The first algorithm applied is the triangular-sinusoidal strategy; the second is the Space Vector Pulse Width Modulation (SVPWM) strategy. In the first part, we present a topology of three-level NCP VSI. After that, we develop t...

In high power high voltage application BLDC motor are widely used because of high efficiency, simple construction, low cost less maintenance and high torque or high output power per unit volume. For driving the BLDC motor we required inverter. PWM inverter which gives good performance. In two level inverter there is a problem of harmonics distortion, lower electromagnetic interference, high DC ...

This paper presents a photovoltaic system as a standalone system. The proposed system consists of photovoltaic (PV) module, battery energy storage system (BESS), high frequency transformer, and multilevel inverter (MLI). The MLI consists of two H-bridge single phase inverter per arm (phase) with unequal dc voltages which needs 6 isolated dc sources for the conventional MLI. The relative values ...

An optimized multilevel inverter is implemented for 3 phase induction motor drive. The Main Feature Of this Circuit is to boost of the Battery Voltage as twice as possible along with multilevel staircase output voltage which approaches nearly sinusoidal wave. By using appropriate switching strategy of two capacitors the desired waveform can be achieved, hence significantly reducing the number o...

In this paper, an H-bridge inverter topology with reduced switch count technique is introduced. This technique reduces the number of controlled switches used in conventional multilevel inverter. To establish a single phase system, the proposed multilevel inverter requires one H-bridge and a multi conversion cell. A multi conversion cell consists of three equal voltage sources with three control...

Quasi-Z-Source Cascaded H-bridge Multilevel inverters (qZS-CHB-MLI) have attracted much interest in recent research works due to its rewarding advantages when compared with traditional voltage source inverters and Z-source Inverters. The qZS-CHB-MLI has limited output voltage boosting capability, and requires more number of switches as the number of levels increases. This increases the volume a...

The concept of multilevel inverters introduced about 20 years ago entails performing power conversion in multiple voltage steps to obtain improved power quality, lower switching losses, better electromagnetic compatibility, and higher voltage capability. The benefits are especially clear for medium-voltage drives in industrial applications and are being considered for future naval ship propulsi...
