This paper presents a micro controller based control of multilevel inverter for single phase Induction motor. IGBT is used as power element. Pulse width modulation techniques (PWM), introduced three decades ago, are the most used methods to control the voltage and frequency supplied to electrical AC machines. This work proposes a new switching scheme for the cascaded H-Bridge multilevel inverte...

The concept of multilevel inverters, introduced about 20 years ago entails performing power conversion in multiple voltage steps to obtain improved power quality, lower switching losses, better electromagnetic compatibility, and higher voltage capability. The benefits are especially clear for medium-voltage drives in industrial applications and are being considered for future naval ship propuls...

A primary goal of these systems is to increase the energy injected to the grid by keeping track of the maximum power point (MPP) of the panel, by reducing the switching frequency, and by providing high reliability. In the last years, multilevel converter topologies have been also considered in PV applications. Multilevel converter topologies can generate high-quality voltage waveforms with powe...

A multilevel inverter is capable of generating high-quality stepwise pseudo-sinusoidalvoltage with low THD , applicable to high-power and high-voltage systems. These types of topologiesmay require a large number of switches and power supplies. This leads to much cost, large size, andcomplicated control algorithms. Thus, newer topologies are being proposed to decrease the numberof power electron...

This paper proposes a new two-stage inverter based on transformer-less high gain DC-DC converter for energy conversion of a photovoltaic system. The designed system consists of a high gain DC-DC converter cascaded with a three-phase inverter. The proposed DC-DC converter has a simple structure, and it has one switch in its structure. The output voltage of the DC-DC converter supplies DC source ...
