Abstract
Reduction of components in power electronic converters is directly proportional to the improvement in reliability. With this context, the proposed work is intended to develop a novel multilevel inverter that exceeds traditional inverters in terms of output voltage accuracy as the number of voltage steps (or levels) at the output increases. The input considered in the work is solar panel and its output fed to the inverter input. In the proposed method, three asymmetrical voltage sources were used. With aid of different modes of operation the output is produced with different voltage levels. This surpasses the conventional multilevel inverters which require additional semiconductor components to reach the proposed objective. Hence, the proposed method is well suited for improving both power quality and reliability. Finally, the Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) is compared with the conventional methods. The proposed work has been simulated in MATLAB software.
