A Novel Hybrid Single-Phase Modular Multilevel Inverter Topology with Enhanced Number of Levels per Number of Devices

Abstract

<p>Inverters are important in the electrical industry, and there have been several advancements in this area. One of these is the multilevel inverter. A new single-phase inverter with seventeen levels is suggested in this study. To spread the load, the DC inputs will be paired in series/parallel. To generate a wider number of output level voltages, a combination of switching devices and DC sources will be utilized. The harmonic components will be lowered by employing the new modulation approach. THD rate analysis for eleven level and seventeen level structure is performed, and THD quality enhancement can be shown herein. The simulation of suggested multilevel converter is performed in Matlab/Simulink.</p>
