Abstract

In recent years, industry has begun to demand higher power equipment, which now reaches the megawatt level. Controlled ac drives in the megawatt range are usually connected to the medium-voltage network. Today it is hard to connect a single power semiconductor switch directly to medium voltage grids. For these reasons a new family of multilevel inverters has emerged as the solution for working with higher voltage levels. They can generate output voltages with extremely low distortion and lower dv/dt, they draw input current with very low distortion, they generate smaller common mode voltage and they can operate with a lower switching frequency. Because of these features worldwide research and development of multilevel inverters is occurring. In this report the simulation results and its comparison of diode clamped 3 levels and 5 level inverter has been shown.
