Reduction Of Switches And Voltage Divices In New Cascaded H-Bridge Multilevel Inverter Topology
Abstract
A new general cascaded multilevel inverter is developed by using H-bridges in this paper. This topology consists
of lower blocking voltage on switches and requires less number of dc voltage sources, power switches which results in
decreasing the complexity and total cost of the inverter. These abilities obtained within comparing the topology with the
conventional topologies from above-mentioned point of view. Moreover, a new algorithm is used to determine the
magnitude of dc voltage sources for generation all voltage levels . The performance has been analyzed by functionality
accuracy of the topology by using its new algorithm in generating all voltage levels for a 7-level and 31- level inverters are
simulated using MATLAB/SIMULINK.The output shows the better performance results.
