Abstract

Multilevel inverters remain an area of research interest due to the superior performance against a two-level counterpart. Reducing the switch count and stress on the power electronic switches while maintaining a sinusoidal stepped output remains a challenge. A multilevel inverter topology has been proposed in this work which utilizes twelve switches and four dc voltage sources to produce a 15-level staircase output voltage waveform. The objective is to reduce the harmonic in the output voltage and thereby reducing the cost of filter requirement and maintaining high efficiency throughout the operating range. Control of output voltage has been done using the Nearest Level Pulse Width Modulation Strategy (NLPWM). Simulation and hardware implementation of the topology under different loads and dynamic conditions are presented to validate the robust performance.
