Abstract

The energy usage of the electricity system increased dramatically during the last few years as a result of the rise in consumers and businesses. It resulted in large-scale traditional energy generation, causing an increase in global emissions. As a result, the perforation of sources that are renewable inside electrical networks has greatly grown. Solar power systems (PS) have grown into the most prominent sources because of their tremendous potential; hence, global installed solar power capability has expanded beyond more than 635 gigawatts (GW), representing about 2% of the world’s energy consumption. Multilevel inverters (MLI) are now on top of two-level inverters due to their ability to deliver diminished electromagnetic interference (EMI) and elevated capability. This study examines MLIs in terms of categorization, development, and problems, as well as practical advice for use in renewable energy systems (RES). This review also emphasizes the significance and development of an improved multilevel inverter. In summary, this study focuses on the usage of multilayer inverters in PV systems to stimulate and assist society in developing efficient, cost-effective inverters with integrated capacities of those converters described in the survey.

Abstract

This article presents an innovative boost inverter configuration that produces a nine-level double voltage augmentation waveform. A significant drawback of conventional multilevel inverters (MLIs) lies in their dependence on conversion for elevating the voltage, particularly applied in conjunction with renewable energy sources. The proposed methodology, characterized by its double voltage boosting capacity, mitigates this challenge by automatically enhancing the input voltage. Switched-capacitor multilevel inverters (SCMLIs) represent a prevalent category within the realm of MLIs. This paper presents a double boost switched capacitor inverter (DB-SCI) designed to address critical issues involving the increased use of semiconductor switches, DC sources, and capacitors. The proposed DB-SCI achieves a nine-level resultant voltage utilizing a single DC source, 8 switches, and 3 capacitors. It can amplify the output voltage with a gain of two. Moreover, the DB-SCI employs a level-shifted pulse width modulation (PWM) approach to augment the resultant voltage and enhance the output voltage's quality. The article assesses the effectiveness and feasibility of the DB-SCI under various modulation indices using MATLAB/Simulink. The comparison study of MLI topologies is presented.
