The need for high power apparatus in industry has increased in recent years. Multilevel inverters have developed as easy alternatives for such power requirements. Multilevel inverters consist of a group of semiconductor switches and a set of voltage source components like capacitors or independent sources. The basic concept of these inverters depends on using this series of switches and sources...

In general Pulse width modulation (PWM) techniques of a voltage source inverter (VSI) need a sinusoidal reference signal and triangular carrier signal to generate the required modulating signals for the desired output. Modifications in modulating techniques can be considered in two ways, namely modified reference and modified carrier. The existing multilevel carrier based pulse width modulation...

The multilevel inverters have highly desirable characteristics in high power high voltage applications. The multilevel inverter was started first with diode clamped multilevel inverter. Later, various configurations have been came into existence for many applications. However the multilevel inverters have some demerits such as requiring higher number of components, PWM control method is complex...
