Circuit Configuration

The multilevel inverter is attracting the specialist in medium and high voltage applications, among its types, the cascade H bridge Multi-Level Inverter (MLI), commonly used for high power and high voltage applications. The main advantage of the conventional cascade (MLI) is generated a large number of output voltage levels but it demands a large number of components that produce complexity in the control circuit, and high cost. Along these lines, this paper presents a brief about the non-conventional cascade multilevel topologies that can produce a high number of output voltage levels with the least components. The non-conventional cascade (MLI) in this paper was built to reduce the number of switches, simplify the circuit configuration, uncomplicated control, and minimize the system cost. Besides, it reduces THD and increases efficiency. Two topologies of non-conventional cascade MLI three phase, the Nine level and Seventeen level are presented. The PWM technique is used to control the switches. The simulation results show a better performance for both topologies. THD, the power loss and the efficiency of the two topologies are calculated and drawn to the different values of the Modulation index (ma).

Performance Research

A inverter is basically a device that usually converts DC to AC voltage without causing any power loss, applicable to only low to medium voltage applications. But in case of medium to high power applications, it has demerits like high switching losses, reduced cost and low efficiency. To overcome these demerits a Multilevel inverter applicable to high voltage and high-power applications which have low total harmonic distortion (THD) is introduced. This paper is mainly focused on seven-level inverter with five switches and four dc sources. with low total harmonic distortion, less switching loss without adding any complexity to the circuit. The switching topology is integrated with various SPWM techniques like Phase Disposition (PD), Phase Opposition Disposition (POD) and Anti Phase Opposition Disposition (APOD). For better performance of the inverter above three PWM techniques will be compared and analyzed to find the low THD configuration. The simulation of switching topology is done by MATLAB/Simulink.

The multi level inverter system is habitually exploited in AC drives, when both reduced harmonic contents and high power are required. In this paper, a new topology for three phase asymmetrical multilevel inverter employing reduced number of switches is introduced. With less number of switches, the cost, space and weight of the circuit are automatically reduced. This paper discusses the new topology, the switching strategies and the operational principles of the chosen inverter. Simulation is carried out using MATLAB-SIMULINK. Various conventional PWM techniques that are appropriate to the chosen circuit such as PDPWM, PODPWM, APODPWM, VFPWM and COPWM are employed in this work. COPWM technique affords the less THD value and also affords a higher fundamental RMS output voltage.

Level Converter

The multi-level converter is one of the focuses in the current high-voltage high-power field of power conversion, and is found widely application in high power drive system. It generated so far for nearly three decades of history. During this period a large number of multi-level topology appeared, there are three most commonly used, which are diode clamped, capacitor and cascaded H-bridge. In this paper, the development of the multi-level converter is reviewed. The structure of three multi-level converter topologies are given, and then their advantages and disadvantages are given by analyzing and comparing their characteristics. Finally, a new modular multi-level converter (MMC) is introduced which is one of research focus of multi-level converter field at present. Its structure and working principle are described in detail. Multi-level converters will continue to be developed to meet the demand of high-voltage and high power applications.
