This paper presents the simulation of 3, 5, 7level inverters. The realization of these three different levels is done by cascading one, two, three H-bridges in series respectively in MATLAB. The use of simple control strategy which is applied for switching the switches at appropriate conducting angles with proper delays is presented in this paper. The reduction in harmonics is done with the hel...

In this paper comparative study of proposed hybrid multilevel inverter (HMI) operating in modified pulse width modulation (PWM) mode with cascaded H-bridge multilevel inverter (CHMI) is done. Two types of HMIs are proposed with same configuration. To control the two HMIs, modified PWM techniques are derived from sinusoidal pulse width modulation (SPWM) to reduce the switching losses in the inve...

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...

Modeling of Cascaded Multilevel converter has put more emphasize on conventional cascaded Hbridge inverter. First a new phase shifted SPWM control algorithm for cascaded NPC/H-bridge inverter is proposed. Its Superior harmonic suppression is verified by comparing its harmonic spectrum with that of the conventional multicarrier approach. For DCbus capacitor voltage control, a new, balance circui...

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...

Linear AC power supplies can be replaced by their nonlinear switching counterparts due to the lower voltage drops and higher efficiency and power density of switching-mode inverters. Multilevel cascaded H-bridge (CHB) converters are the preferred inverter structure because of modular configuration, control, and protection. The output voltage quality in CHB converters depends on the number of ou...

The fulfillment of wide variety in energy demand by growing industries and incorporation of renewable energy source in power system is made possible by multilevel inverter. From design prospective it is also important to take care of losses took place in inverter i.e. switching and conduction losses in addition to the modulation techniques which look after harmonic spectrum in output voltage/cu...

The distributed generation (DG) systems based on the renewable energy sources have rapidly developed in recent years. These DG systems are powered by micro sources such as fuel cells, photovoltaic (PV) systems, and batteries. The micro grid concept consists of two stages, in the first stage the low level voltage from the pv cell is converted to high level voltage by using DC-DC converter. In th...
