<p>In this paper a novel 5 switch seven level DC-AC inverter is being proposed. The proposed multilevel inverter uses reduced number of switches as compared to the switches used in the conventional multilevel inverter. The inverter has been designed to generate a 7 level AC output using 5 switches. The voltage stress on each of the switches as well as the switching losses is found to be less, minimized common mode voltage (CMV) level and reduced total harmonic distortion. The proposed 7-level inverter topology has four dc sources, which is energized through the PV system.

This paper presents a single-phase multilevel inverter (MLI) with simpler basic unit cells. The proposed MLI is able to operate in two modes, i.e. charge mode to charge the batteries, and inverter mode to supply AC power to load, and therefore, it is inherently suitable for photovoltaic (PV) power generation applications. The proposed MLI requires lower number of power MOSFETs and gate driver units, which will translate into higher cost saving and better system reliability. The power MOSFETs in the basic unit cells and H-bridge module are switched at near fundamental frequency, i.e. 100 Hz and 50 Hz, respectively, resulting in lower switching losses. For low total harmonic distortion (THD) operation, a deep scanning method is employed to calculate the switching angles of the MLI. The lowest THD obtained is 8.91% at modulation index of 0.82. The performance of the proposed MLI (9-level) has been simulated and evaluated experimentally. The simulation and experimental results are in good agreement and this confirms that the proposed MLI is able to produce an AC output voltage with low THD.

In this work, a new modular multilevel inverter topology is introduced for a single phase grid connected Photovoltaic system. This multilevel inverter use less number of switches to generate seven levels compared to other conventional multilevel inverters. This requires only one isolated dc source to operate. So it is suitable for renewable energy application. This inverter is designed by submodule configuration; each sub module contains two switches and one DC link capacitor. The sub modules will be added to the inverter depending on number of levels. The voltage balancing of DC link capacitor is carried out by Y matrix PWM technique. Because of Y matrix PWM technique, the inverter gets a self capacitor voltage balancing ability. So there is no need of external devices required for balancing the voltage of capacitor. A PLL for grid integration and LCL filter are designed and integrated with this inverter. The simulation of proposed system is carried out by MATLAB/SIMULINK and performance of THD is monitored as per standards

Background:: In multilevel inverters (MLI) as the number of level increases, there is a proportionate increase in the count of the semiconductor devices that are employed. Methods:: An asymmetrical multilevel inverter topology using a bidirectional switch is presented which employs lesser number of power electronic devices to produce fifteen levels at the output voltage. Nearest Level modulation (NLM) technique is used to generate the switching pulses and reliability analysis is performed using Markov reliability methodology. The operating principle of the proposed MLI and its performance abilities is verified through MATLAB/Simulink and a prototype is developed to provide the experimental results. Results:: Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) is computed for proposed MLI for different types of loads in simulation environment as well as in the developed hardware prototype. The fifteen level is achieved by using only 9 switches and 3 DC sources in comparison to the 28 switches and 6 DC sources required by the traditional cascaded H-bridge inverter. Conclusion:: The simulation and hardware results confirm the suitability of the proposed fifteen level MLI as the total component count and the requirement of DC sources reduces considerably.

The projected paper presents the survey on load, PV based system, and grid location, affected by the presence of harmonics. Nowadays Photovoltaic (PV) energy has been extensively attentive since it’s fresh and infinite energy without creating pollution. An inverter is required to produce electrical energy from solar. One of the reason for unstable power system is an inverter which is a switching device. It is functioned to regulate the frequency of an AC power as per requirement. On the other hand, it leads to distortion of waveforms produced by the introduction of that upset electronic devices which are employed to receive power. At that moment, it could create the incorrect functioning of electronic devices. The outcomes demonstrations that maximum grid’s harmonics are influenced by the photovoltaic system and the load when the inverter is powered up to the rated value, for the meantime, harmonics present in the load be governed by on the category of load and the fractions of harmonics are compact. Analyzing, the effect of harmonics for three edges, we got to know that harmonics of photovoltaic based system barely have an consequence on load while the harmonics of grid are more exaggerated from load as compared to the PV system

The performance of grid-connected Photovoltaic (PV) power generation system operating in the field is inevitably affected by environmental parameters (solar irradiance, temperature, humidity, wind speed, spectrum, cloud cover, dust, etc.), of which the main factors are solar irradiance and temperature. Based on the data of 100kW PV system of ShangYi PV Plant captured form June 1, 2012 to May 31, 2013 (1 min resolution) and the data of Qinghai Delingha 20MW PV Plant in China captured in 2012., the influence of solar irradiance and temperature on PV system is analyzed. The results show hourly PV array DC power has highly significant positive correlation with hourly total solar radiation, also PV system AC power output and solar irradiance have good consistency. Both of them show irradiance is the main environment factor to the PV system. Then using the captured data, the relationship between maximum load and PV panels surface temperature is also analyzed, the surface temperature is higher, the maximum load is lower.

Power Quality Improvement

The use of different control techniques has become very popular for controlling the performance of grid-connected photovoltaic (PV) systems. Although the proportional-integral (PI) control technique is very popular, there are some difficulties such as less stability, slow dynamic response, low reference tracking capability, and lower output power quality in solar PV applications. In this paper, a robust, fast, and dynamic proportional-integral resonance controller with a harmonic and lead compensator (PIR + HC + LC) is proposed to control the current of a 15-level neutral-point-clamped (NPC) multilevel inverter. The proposed controlled is basically a proportional-integral resonance (PIR) controller with the feedback of a harmonic compensator and a lead compensator. The performance of the proposed controller is analyzed in a MATLAB/Simulink environment. The simulation result represents admirable performance in terms of stability, sudden load change response, fault handling capability, reference tracking capability, and total harmonic distortion (THD) than those of the existing controllers. The responses of the inverter and grid outlets under different conditions are also analyzed. The harmonic compensator decreases the lower order harmonics of grid voltage and current, and the lead compensator provides the phase lead. It is expected that the proposed controller is a dynamic aspirant in the grid-connected PV system.

Inverter Topology

Multilevel Inverters (MLI) have very good features when compared to Inverters. But using more switches in the conventional configuration will reduce its application in a wider range. For that reason a modified 7-level MLI Topology is presented. This new topology consists of less number of switches that can be reduced to the maximum extent and a separate gate trigger circuit. This will reduce the switching losses, reduce the size of the multilevel inverter, and cost of installation. This new topology can be used in Electrical drives and renewable energy applications. Performance of the new MLI is tested via. Total harmonic distortion. This construction structure of this multilevel inverter topology can also be increased for 9-level, 11-level and so on and simulated by the use of MATLAB/SIMULINK. A separate Carrier Based PWM Technique is used for the pulse generation in this configuration.

This paper presents a relatively new concept for the design and implementation of a grid-tie inverter for photo voltaic (PV) systems. The proposed method will eliminate the uses of battery pack hence overall cost of any PV project will be significantly reduced. As the output of any PV array varies with the variation of solar irradiance hence a boost converter with PID regulated variable duty cycle has been used to keep a constant input to the inverter. Multilevel inverter topology has been proposed for utility grid connectivity. The proposed design is simulated in MATLAB/Simulink and a prototype is also implemented to verify the simulation results. The controllers are implemented in Arduino microcontroller board.
