Abstract

This work presents a double boost converter (DBC) integrated with three-level diode clamped multilevel inverter (TLDCI). The proposed converter can be used for renewable energy, grid or electric vehicle applications. The double boost converter provides twice the output voltage in comparison with convention boost converter. The DBC is modelled and simulated under open loop and closed loop operating conditions. Proportional integral (PI) and fuzzy logic controllers (FLCs) are used in closed loop operation. The DBC further integrated with three-level diode clamped inverter. Sine and third harmonic pulse width modulation (SPWM and TH-PWM) is used to generate pulses for TLDCI. The proposed converter simulated in MATLAB/Simulink. Comparison results in open and closed loop such as output voltage error for double boost converter and line, phase voltages and total harmonic distortion for inverter output voltage and current are presented.
