Abstract

Renewable energy sources are developed as a result of the increased demand for electrical power. The nature of the solar energy source is DC. The DC source for many applications needs to be converted to AC. The inverter is used to convert the power from DC to AC. Total harmonic distortion (THD) is a significant concern with inverters. Multi-level inverters are used to reduce the THD. The stair output voltage of the multi-level inverter not only reduces the THD but also reduces the switches' stresses, so a low voltage rating can be used for the switches. In this paper, a modified inverter topology is introduced in which the number of switches is reduced for the same number of output voltage levels, which leads to reducing the losses and the cost. To reduce the THD, different amplitudes for the carrier signals that control the switches in each level are suggested. Another method to reduce the THD by using different capacitor values across the input DC source is presented. The MATLAB/Simulink is used to show the validity of the suggested modified topology and the modifications.

Abstract

The use of multi-level inverter (MLI) technologies in high-power, medium-voltage energy regulation has been more popular in recent years. Despite the fact that the multilayer inverter has a lot of benefits, it has certain disadvantages in the layer of higher levels due to the enormous number of semiconductor switches that it employs in its construction. This may result in the inverter being of a huge size and costing a lot of money, as well as a significant rise in losses. As a result, the new MLI is suggested to minimize the number of switches in order to alleviate these challenges. This article describes a cascaded multilevel inverter with lower devices. The suggested cascaded multilevel inverter is intended for use in minimizing total harmonic distortion (THD), as shown in MATLAB/Simulink by the graph. Multilevel inverters benefit from the switching pattern of semiconductor switches, which may be used to improve their overall performance. This approach lowers the switching loss while simultaneously increasing the efficiency. In order to validate the suggested approach, simulations are carried out using the MATLAB/Simulink programming environment.
