... an increase in the number of output levels leads to the increase in cost and complicity of the circuit as well as leading to increased switching losses of all the switches being used in the circuit leading as a reduced overall efficiency of the system. The same is being compared for different output voltage levels as shown in Table 1. As per the comparison made [9] in Table 1, the necessity of switches for a 3 level output is less, which gives a higher THD. ...

As per the comparison made [9] in Table 1, the necessity of switches for a 3 level output is less, which gives a higher THD. This may be a factor of advantage when the switching loss associated is less but is undesirable with respect to THD which ensures poor power quality. ...

This paper presents a robust three phase multi-level inverter topology controlled by a programmed micro-controller switching circuit. The inverter consists of three H-type bridges, each bridge comprises four (4) solid state switches. The inverter feeds from a DC battery source or a PV-Fuel Cell-Battery or combination hybrid source. The on/off switching pattern is regulated by the micro-triggering circuit controller. The proposed multilevel inverter improves waveform output quality, lower total harmonics distortion (THD) than the two level one and less electromagnetic interference (EMI). The results show that the inverter output is near to sinusoidal waveform and give the same frequency of the network also the designed inverter improves the power quality and decrease the produced harmonics than the traditional one.

In this study, a new eleven level inverter topology with the less number of high frequency switching devices and acceptable harmonics distortion content is presented. It is a unique approach for minimization of components of the 11 level inverter by the use of multilevel PWM switching technique and also it offers high power handling capability. Furthermore, proposed topology involves a single DC source. The feasibility and performance analysis of the proposed inverter topology is done by using MATLAB® Simulink software. In the proposed inverter, IGBTs are being used as switching devices to make the design more feasible and steadfast in the aspect of power quality. The comparison between the existing inverter topologies reveals that the proposed designed offers a quintessence results in multilevel inverters due to abridged harmonic distortion and less count of switching devices. It is an attractive and cost effective solution to adopt and provides the best output for grid connected systems.
