Abstract

Renewable energy sources like solar, wind, tidal, geothermal are used. The most commonly used renewable energy source are wind and solar. Output of wind and solar are in DC so one must convert it to AC Before injecting it in to the grid, also they produce a very low power quality output which cannot be injected directly in to the grid. So it is required to use a converter that will convert DC power from RES to AC with good power quality. In this paper two different inverter topologies for integrating RES with grid are used, one is 2 level Voltage source inverter and other is cascaded H bridge multilevel inverter. Cascaded multilevel inverter is designed and studied with the help of PSIM that is being used for simulation purpose. The designed system is giving expected results.
