Design and Simulation of Novel 11-level Inverter Scheme with Reduced Switches

Abstract

This work recommends the performance of coupled inductor based novel 11-level inverter with reduced number of switches. The inverter which engender the sinusoidal output voltage by the use of split inductor with minimised total harmonic distortion (THD). The voltage stress on each controlled switching devices, capacitor balancing and switching losses can be reduced. The proposed system which gives better controlled output current and improved output voltage with moderate THD value. The switching devices of the system are controlled by using multicarrier sinusoidal pulse width modulation algorithm by comparing the carrier signals with sinusoidal signal. The simulation and experimental results of the proposed 11-level inverter system outputs are established using matlab/Simulink and dsPIC microcontroller respectively.<br /><br />

Multilevel inverter: harmonic analysis with and without filters for RL load using SPWM techniques

“…where Q is quality factor 20<Q<100 (7) the range of quality factor for a single tuned filter is considered as 20, R=1.41Ω.…”

“…Circuit model of five level multilevel inverter with voltage levels Shanono et al [6] four passive filters i.e., LC, LCL, and LCL with series and parallel resistance is compared for nine level inverters to obtain THD less than 5%. This problem of poor stability margin was addressed by connecting an appropriate resistance value in either series or parallel to the filter capacitance [7] the size of the filter is reduced by decreasing dv/dt stress. Therefore, the discussion suggested that there is an ample of scope for researchers in the field of cascaded H-bridge MLI.…”

Five-level cascaded H-bridge inverter for renewable energy applications

“…Inverters have been used to get a sinusoidal wave by converting DC to AC waveform. Though twolevel and three-level inverters are most common in academic research and industrial use purposes, multilevel inverters (MLI) are often preferred for their number of voltages steps, because it assists to make a sinusoidal wave of output voltage or current [1]. Nowadays, wide-bandgap semiconductors materials are used for the operation of higher voltages and frequencies as it has many advantages.…”
