Abstract: The multilevel inverter is a power conversion device which is uses multiple dc sources to provide required alternating current level. It is can be used for medium to high power applications. This paper presents a 129 level asymmetrical cascaded Hbridge multilevel inverter with reduced switching components and higher THD. The proposed inverter uses multiple dc sources with voltage ratio 1:1:2:4:8:16:32. The proposed inverter uses voltage reference technique to control the switching components of the topology. The comparative analysis of 129 level ASCHBMLI and conventional inverter topologies have been presented. The main advantages of the proposed topology is lower switching components, lower losses, and lower THD without the need of filter. MATLAB/SIMULINK software is used to perform simulation and analyse the performance of the proposed topology. Keywords: Multilevel Inverter (MLI), Asymmetrical Cascaded H Bridge Multilevel Inverter (ASCHBMLI), Cascaded H Bridge (CHB), MATLAB, Total Harmonic Distortion (THD).

A new circuit structure and control method for a high power interleaved dual-buck inverter are proposed. The proposed inverter consists of six switches, four diodes and two inductors, uses a dual-buck structure to eliminate zero-cross distortion, and operates in an interleaved mode to reduce the current stress of switch. To reduce the total harmonic distortion at low output power, the inverter is controlled using discontinuous-current-mode control combined with continuous-current-mode control. The experimental inverter had a power-conversion efficiency of 98.5% at output power = 1300 W and 98.3% at output power = 2 kW, when the inverter was operated at an input voltage of 400 VDC, output voltage of 220 VAC/60 Hz, and switching frequency of 20 kHz. The total harmonic distortion was < 0.66%, which demonstrates that the inverter is suitable for high-power dc-ac power conversion.

Inverter Topology

Multilevel inverter is a modified version of inverter. Multilevel inverter recently emerged in the area of high power and medium voltage application. In the last few decades, the great innovation has been done to improve the inverter performance, and it is challenging even today. The multilevel inverter performance is examined by total harmonic distortion and component required. In multilevel, as level increases, the total harmonic distortion value decreases, but the number of components required and driver circuit increases that make the circuit more complex and also the effect on cost. So, the challenge is to balance the bridge between cost and total harmonic distortion. This chapter simulates the various levels of conventional cascade H-bridge inverter and new proposed topology of multilevel inverter with using different modulation techniques and with using filter circuit and without filter circuit.

This paper proposes a new Asymmetrical multilevel inverter topology with reduced number of switches. This topology is superior to the existing multilevel inverter (MLI) configurations in terms of lower total harmonic distortion (THD) value and lower cost. The idea incorporates a new module setup comprising of four different voltage sources having voltage output levels in a specific ratio. The proposed topology uses a novel pulse width modulation (PWM) technique (as presented) to control the gating pulses. The operation is simulated using MATLAB/SIMULINK and its results are validated through FPGA Spartan 3 based hardware prototype inverter (using three voltage sources to produce a 7 level output, which may be extended to 15 level). The circuit complexity is drastically reduced and it is suitable for medium and high power applications. THD for the output is quite low when compared with the conventional inverter.

A inverter is basically a device that usually converts DC to AC voltage without causing any power loss, applicable to only low to medium voltage applications. But in case of medium to high power applications, it has demerits like high switching losses, reduced cost and low efficiency. To overcome these demerits a Multilevel inverter applicable to high voltage and high-power applications which have low total harmonic distortion (THD) is introduced. This paper is mainly focused on seven-level inverter with five switches and four dc sources. with low total harmonic distortion, less switching loss without adding any complexity to the circuit. The switching topology is integrated with various SPWM techniques like Phase Disposition (PD), Phase Opposition Disposition (POD) and Anti Phase Opposition Disposition (APOD). For better performance of the inverter above three PWM techniques will be compared and analyzed to find the low THD configuration. The simulation of switching topology is done by MATLAB/Simulink.
