Solar energy sources are widely available, but in the form of DC source. It is connected in distribution system by means of converting DC/AC supply. It is achieved by means of inverter. To get efficient AC source we use multilevel inverter (MLI). The popularly used inverter is cascaded H-bridge MLI. As the step increases, the AC output nearly becomes same as sinusoidal. The purpose of the proje...

This paper presents a cascaded H-bridge multilevel boost inverter for electric vehicle (EV) and hybrid EV (HEV) applications implemented without the use of inductors. Currently available power inverter systems for HEVs use a dc–dc boost converter to boost the battery voltage for a traditional three-phase inverter. The present HEV traction drive inverters have low power density, are expensive, a...

Total harmonic distortion (THD) is a term used to describe the net deviation of a nonlinear waveform from ideal sine waveform characteristics. Total harmonic distortion is the ratio between the RMS value of the harmonics and the RMS value of the fundamental. In multilevel Inverter As we try to increase the number of levels THD reduces. This paper contains different single phase multilevel inver...
