Abstract |
|
Multilevel inverter have become more popular over the years in electric high power applications with the promise of less disturbance and the possibility to function at low switching frequencies than ordinary two level inverter. Though multilevel inverter more advantages features usage of more umber of switches in the conventional type leads to the limitation of its wide area applications. Therefore a new multilevel inverter topology is introduced with reduced number of switches and gate driver circuitry, there by resulting in minimum switching losses which will further reduce installation cost. The performance of new multilevel inverter is measured in terms of THD using carrier based PWM technique. The results are validated using MATLAB. |
