This paper deals with Single Phase Five level Inverter using Multi Carrier Based Pulse width modulation Technique. The voltage quality of conventional two level inverter is poor due the presence of harmonics and hence produces power loss which reduces the efficiency of the system. The multilevel inverter is used to improve the voltage quality by reducing the harmonics, as the number of voltage ...

Multilevel cascaded and hybrid inverter systems conventionally use three level bipolar PWM for each individual inverter, with their carriers phase shifted to achieve maximum harmonic cancellation within each phase leg. This has been shown to give a harmonic performance equivalent to APOD modulation of a NPC multilevel inverter, when the switching frequencies are scaled to achieve the same numbe...
