In the present scenario, reduced part count(RPC) multilevel inverters are become popular compared to traditional multilevel inverters(MLIs). This is mainly due to reduced size and cost and alleviates the issues of more passive components, flying capacitor voltage balancing issues and the requirement of complex switching schemes. Also, the RPC is getting attraction for various industrial and transportation applications. Therefore, in this paper, a novel 17 level inverter is proposed by cascading MLIs with the reduced part count. The complete operation, switching schemes and output are presented to evolve the performance under steady-state conditions using MATLAB software.

The multilevel inverters are very popular in high power high voltage applications. However the multilevel inverters has some demerits such as requiring higher number of components, PWM control method is complex and capacitor voltage balancing problem. The hybrid multilevel inverter presented in this paper has superior characteristics over conventional multilevel inverters. The hybrid multilevel inverter employs fewer components and less carrier signals when compared to conventional multilevel inverters. It consists of level generation and polarity generation stages which involves high frequency and low frequency switches. The complexity and overall cost for higher output voltage levels are greatly reduced. Implementation of single phase 7-level, 9-level and 11-level hybrid multilevel inverter has been performed using sinusoidal pulse width modulation (SPWM) strategies i.e., phase disposition (PD), alternate phase opposition disposition (APOD) and carrier overlapping (CO). Also the three techniques are compared in terms of total harmonic distortion (THD) for various modulation indices and observed to be greatly improved when compared to conventional topologies. The performance of single phase eleven level hybrid inverter is analyzed for different loads.  Simulation is performed using MATLAB/ Simulink.

A hybrid structured asymmetric switching capacitor multilevel inverter (ASC-MLI) is suggested in this work. The notion behind presenting this topology is to reduce the device count and DC sources as compared with conventional MLI. The step by step operating mode of single phase ASC-MLI is presented and by doing slight modifications the same configuration is used in three phase utility application and electric drive. The proposed configurations utilize major benefits of self-voltage balancing capability of capacitor voltage, which is independent from different load type and modulations index. To generate the switching pulse for corresponding switches the multi-carrier based sinusoidal pulse width modulation (MCS-PWM) technique is used; in addition to this simulation result are obtained using MATLAB/Simulink 2016b software version. Simulation results of an induction motor drive connected as three phase load highlights good performance of 17-level MLI.

This paper investigates the realization of a five-level Flying Capacitor Inverter. After a brief description of general Power Electronic Converters and an introduction to the advantages of Multilevel Inverters over conventional two-level Inverters the main focus is on the five-level Flying Capacitor Inverter. The Flying Capacitor Multilevel Inverter (FCMI) is a Multilevel Inverter (MI) where the capacitor voltage can be balanced using only a control strategy for any number of levels. After a general description of five-level FCMI topology, the simulation and experimental results are presented. The capacitor voltage is stabilized here with various output voltage amplitude values. The simulation and experimental results of five-level FCMI show that the voltage is stabilized on capacitors using the control strategy. A single-phase five-level FCMI model is currently being developed and constructed in the laboratory. Some of the experimental results are available.

Multilevel inverters (MLI) play an important role in AC applications and are undergoing continuous development in topology and control. In higher levels inverters, conventional MLIs have high components count which calls for modification of these topologies to obtain the same number of levels with fewer components to reduce cost and size. Balancing of the capacitors voltages is crucial for the operation of the MLI and it becomes more challenging in higher levels. This paper presents an active voltage balancing strategy for a reduced switch count five-leve topology which is the asymmetric stacked multilevel inverter (ASMLI). The ASMLI uses fewer components than the conventional MLIs when used in their five-levelconfiguration. The proposed active voltage balancing strategy uses simple measurements and logic to assure a balanced capacitors voltages during steady state and transients. The performance was examined and compared based on two modulation techniques with LCL filter and RL load using MATLAB/Simulink. The results show that the active voltage balancing strategy can trace all capacitors voltages to the reference value simultaneously with less than 1% voltage error, fast dynamic response, and an acceptable total harmonic distortion (THD) which allows the proposed setup to be an available option for medium voltage applications.<br /><div> </div>
