Analysis of series/parallel multilevel inverter with symmetrical and asymmetrical configurations

Abstract

<p>Usage of high power and medium voltage applications in domestic and industrial purpose has been increased in the recent years. Also, the penetration of renewable energy sources is increasing rapidly. To make use the renewable energy sources there is a need of using inverters. The basic inverter is conventional two level inverter which produces the square wave output voltage. The major drawback of conventional inverter is it contains more harmonics. Therefore, multilevel inverters have been introduced with staircase output voltage waveform. Lot of multilevel inverter topologies have been developed and cascaded H bridge type is the more frequently used. But, it requires more number of switches for higher output voltage level. In this paper, a novel 7 level asymmetrical multilevel inverter topology is proposed with less number of switches. This proposed topology is compared with already existing topology. The simulation of circuit and result analysis of the circuit is carried out by using Matlab/simulink software. The comparison between existing topology and proposed topology is given. The results are discussed and presented.</p>

Photovoltaic fed multilevel inverter using reverse voltage topology for standalone systems

“…In spite of the fact that it is mainly used for communications, the fundamental motivation behind this procedure is to control the power that is provided to different kinds of electric drives. PWM is utilized for controlling the more number of computerized motions keeping in mind the end goal to control gadgets and application that requires current or voltage [16,17]. It basically controls the measure of intensity, in the viewpoint of voltage components [8].…”

Asymmetric hybrid multilevel inverter with reduced harmonic using hybrid modulation technique

“…The symmetrical topology has equal voltage source and required more DC source and H-bridge inverter. Asymmetrical topology has unequal voltage source and less no of DC sources and H-bridge compare than symmetrical method [12][13][14][15][16][17][18].…”
