A novel switched-capacitor-based cascaded multilevel inverter is proposed in this paper, which is constructed by a switched-capacitor frontend and H-Bridge backend. Through the conversion of series and parallel connections, the switched capacitor frontend increases the number of voltage levels. The output harmonics and the component counter can be significantly reduced by the increasing number ...

In this paper, a hysteresis current control technique for a single-phase five-level inverter with cascaded H-bridge topology is proposed. The basic study to implement the logic for correct voltage-level selection, various schemes available in the literature have been described and will provide a useful framework and point of reference for the future development of hysteresis modulation for mult...

This paper presents detailed modeling and simulation of a compensator for Load balancing and harmonics Compensation based on a five-level cascaded H-bridge multilevel voltage source inverter. This type of compensator, which is installed in parallel with the load, is usually referred to as the shunt active power filters (APF). Nowadays use of high voltage non-linear loads are widely used in indu...

Asymmetrical structure is used to reduce the number of bridges and gate drive circuits and DC sources. This structure therefore provides the capability to produce higher voltages at higher speeds with low switching frequency which has inherent low switching losses and high converter efficiency. Newton Raphson (N-R) algorithm is investigated for the selective harmonic elimination (SHE) to calcul...

This paper deals single phase 27-level multilevel inverter topology for DER’s-based DC/AC conversion system. This work mainly focuses on cascaded MLI using three unequal dc sources in order to produce twenty seven-level output. In this study, a high step-up converter is introduced as a front-end stage to improve the conversion efficiency of conventional boost converters and to stabilize the out...

This paper proposed the elimination of undesired harmonic in a Cascaded H-Bridge Multi-Level Inverter by using Selective Harmonic Elimination-Pulse Width Modulation strategy with programmed Particle Swarm Optimization algorithm. In Selective Harmonic Elimination Pulse Width Modulation technique, PSO algorithim is used to determine the non-linear transcendental equation to precise obligatory swi...
