Abstract

Multilevel inverters are used in high power and medium voltage applications. Employing multilevel inverter with renewable energy alone, the voltage balance cannot be made because the number of level increases in multilevel inverter the control gets complexity. So voltage imbalance problems are introduced. The voltage imbalance problems can be classified into two types; Midpoint unbalance and the central capacitor discharge. These problems can be solved by using voltage balancing solutions. The solutions are hardware based; software based, and combined solutions. By using these types of solutions the voltage balancing problems can be solved and the efficiency of multilevel inverter could be high. This paper reviews about various voltage balancing solutions in multilevel inverter.
