In today’s industrial world multilevel inverter (MLI) got a significant importance in medium voltage application and also a very potential topic for researchers. It is experienced that studying and comparing results of multilevel inverter (MLI) at distinct levels are a costlier and time consuming issue for any researcher if he fabricate different inverters for each level, as designing power modules simultaneously for different level is a cumbersome task. In this paper a flexible quotient has been proposed to recognize possible conversion of available MLI to few lower level inverters by appropriately changing microcontroller programming. This is an attempt to obtain such change in levels through simulation using MATLAB Simulink on inductive load which may also be applied to induction motor. Experimental results of pulse generation using dsPIC33EP256MC202 demonstrate the feasibility of proposed scheme. Proposed flexible quotient successfully demonstrates that a five-level inverter may be operated as three and two levels also. The paper focuses on odd levels only as common mode voltage (CMV) can be reduced to zero and performance of drives is better than even level. Simulated and experimental results are given in paper.

The cascade multilevel converter requires the least number of main components among traditional multilevel converter. In this paper, comparison of main components between proposed and traditional converter is shown. In addition, a generalized symmetrical multilevel inverter is proposed. The proposed multilevel inverter can generate DC voltage levels similar to other topologies with less number of components. The proposed topology results in reduction of installation area and cost and has simplicity of control system. This converter has been used in an AC drive system. The operation and performance of the proposed generalized multilevel converter has been verified by the simulation results using SIMULINK/MATLAB. The simulation results show its capability in voltage generation and speed control.

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

This paper proposes a Hybridized Symmetric Cascaded Multilevel Inverter for voltage levels ranging from 5 levels to 17 levels. The proposed Multi Level Inverter (MLI) topology is built using a modified H-bridge inverter that results in an increased output voltage levels with a smaller number of solid-state switches. This technique enhances the h-bridge configuration from three level to five level by means of a bi-directional switch at source. Gating pulses of hybridized symmetric MLI are generated through staircase modulation. The operation and performance of the proposed topology is tested for different output voltage levels, simulation results prove that the proposed technique results in less THD at all levels with lesser power consumption and are easily applicable for renewable energy applications.
