“…The desired voltage at the output is attained by applying a particular switching arrangement on the available power switches [1]. The undesirable harmonics in the output voltage and current waveforms are not eliminated in the traditional inverters resulting in excessive power loss [2,3]. Some of the foremost applications of MLIs are in flexible AC transmission systems (FACTs) [4], renewable energy systems [5], electric drives [6], and active filters [7].…”

Due to recent developments in the field of high-power and medium-voltage, the multilevel inverter has raised to such an extent owing to some of its amazing facts regarding harmonic spectrum, ease in control, reduced electromagnetic interference (EMI), filterless circuit, stress on power switches, common-mode voltage. This paper well describes a novel architecture of a single-phase multilevel inverter using a lesser number of overall components, especially the power switches. The proposed topology is generalized in the structure that can generate any number of voltage steps. A 7-level structure of the proposed topology is explained and is elaborately discussed. Simulation is carried out in MATLAB and corresponding experimental results verify the existence of the proposed multilevel inverter. The real-time experimental results were presented and are well verified by the simulation results for 7-level as well for 13-level across RL-Load. The nature of load current is also indicated as per the nature of load voltage. Nevertheless, the topology is further compared with some of the recent literature and found superior in each respect.
