This paper proposes asymmetric cascaded H-bridge multilevel inverter with reduced number of switches suitable for industrial applications and renewable energy too. Cascade Multilevel Inverters are very popular and have many applications in electric utility and for industrial drives. When these inverters are used for industrial drive directly, the THD contents in output voltage of inverters are ...

In this paper, a new topology for cascaded multilevel inverter based on quasi-Z-source converter is proposed. In the proposed topology the magnitude of output DC voltage is not limited to the sum of magnitude of DC voltage sources. Moreover, the reliability of the circuit due to capability of short circuit by Z-source network is increased. The quasi-Z- source converter in different modes is ana...

This paper proposes a novel cascaded multilevel topology, named Single-dc-Source quasi-Z Source Cascade Multilevel Inverter. inverter has the ability to provide independent regulation of dc bus voltage each H-bridge, ensuring real power balancing and true symmetric waveforms. In addition, Inverter allows operating with single low PV array. provides detailed analysis operation design methodology...

Recently, multilevel inverters are more researched due to the advantages they offer over conventional voltage source inverters in grid connected applications. Passive filters are connected at the output of these inverters to produce sinusoidal waveforms with reduced harmonics and to satisfy grid interconnection standard requirements. This work proposes a new passive filter topology for a pulse ...
