Cascaded Hybrid MultiLevel Inverter (CHMLI) is an attractive topology for high voltage DC-AC conversion. This paper focuses on a single-phase five-level inverter with reduced number of switches. The inverter consists of a full bridge inverter and an auxiliary circuit with four diodes and a switch. The inverter produces output voltage in five levels: zero, +0.5Vdc, +Vdc, -0.5Vdc and –Vdc.. A nov...

A refined space vector modulation scheme for multilevel inverters, using only the instantaneous sampled reference signals is presented in this paper. The proposed space vector pulse width modulation technique does not require the sector information and look-up tables to select the appropriate switching vectors. The inverter leg switching times are directly obtained from the instantaneous sample...
