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.

In this research, modified PWM has been applied to the multilevel inverter (MLI) single-phase three-level diode clamp full bridge. Modified PWM is performed to produce minimum Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) the voltage because the quality of the good voltage is indicated by small THD. The THD indicates the quality of AC voltage source. The THD standard by the IEEE STD 519-1992 Harmonic Voltage Limits is 5% and the Pacific Corp standard is 8%, if the THD value is greater than the THD standard it can cause the electronic load to be damaged due to the damaged waveform. Modified PWM is applied by adding a 50 Hz sinusoidal reference signal with a sinusoidal signal which has a certain amplitude, frequency and phase shift angle. The frequency of the adder signal is the frequency at which the value of the individual harmonic voltage appears (n harmonic). To get maximum result, optimization using Genetic Algorithm (GA) method to determinate amplitude & phase shift angle done. The result of implementation hardware with modified PWM shows smaller THD voltage compared to the THD voltage with Sinusoidal Pulse Width Modulation (SPWM) switching up to 0.19 or decrease 65,51 % for modified PWM of harmonic injection n = 7 with GA optimization ma= 0.8 (A=0.0936 and ø = 0 rad) and up to 0.08 or decrease 12,30 % for modified PWM of harmonic injection n = 22 with GA optimization ma = 0.4 (A=0.1221 and ø = 0 rad).

It has been accepted that conventional inverters have limitation dealing with high voltage and high power applications. Lately, multilevel inverters are popular for high power applications due to its improved harmonic profile and increased power ratings. There are various literatures regarding topology and control techniques of multilevel inverters. This paper presents the performance of two Flying Capacitor Multilevel Inverter (FCMI) topologies particularly a 3-level and 5-level multilevel inverters. Besides that, concept of the topologies and its modulation techniques were described. Sinusoidal pulse width modulation (SPWM) techniques were utilized in this paper as the topologies control strategy. Two control parameters, namely the amplitude modulation index, ma and the frequency modulation index, mfwere varied in order to control the output voltage of the inverters. The model and simulation study were carried out using Matlab/Simulink software. Analyses on the performance of the two topologies were based on the fundamental voltage, output voltage waveform, output harmonic spectrum and total harmonic distortion (THD). It’s found that the five level FCMI have shown better performance in terms of THD compared to the three level FCMI in all conditions of varied ma and mf. Based on the study also, five level FCMI shows a better voltage output waveform; close to a sinusoidal waveform compared to the three level FCMI.
