Design and simulation of a simple power electronic interface for grid-connected PV array has been proposed using boost converter and line-commutated inverter with maximum power point tracking (MPPT) controller. The output of PV array varies with irradiation, and hence the duty cycle of the PI controller is adjusted automatically to supply a constant DC voltage to the inverter circuit, the output of which is directly connected to the grid. The MPPT controller extracts maximum power from the solar array and feeds it to the single-phase utility grid. The proposed scheme has been modeled in the MATLAB 7.1 software and the complete system has been simulated for open loop and closed loop configurations. The active power fed to the grid is taken for different firing angles in open loop mode and the firing angle for maximum power has been determined. This is compared with the firing angle obtained from the closed loop mode and found that both results agree with each other.

A Sub-Region Based Space Vector Modulation Scheme for Dual 2-Level Inverter S...IJECEIAES
This paper deals the implementation of 3-level output voltage using dual 2level inverter with control of sub-region based Space Vector Modulation (SR-SVM). Switching loss and voltage stress are the most important issues in multilevel inverters, for keep away from these problems dual inverter system executed. Using this proposed system, the conventional 3-level inverter voltage vectors and switching vectors can be located. In neutral point clamped multilevel inverter, it carries more load current fluctuations due to the DC link capacitors and it requires large capacitors.

The proposed inverter generates 15 level output voltage with suitable switching pulse generation using multicarrier sinusoidal pulse width modulation (MSPWM) and different level of voltages are obtained with variation of modulation index. Also coupled inductor is used to minimize the harmonic content and smoothing output current. The scheme which includes different range of unequal voltage sources. As a result, the proposed system it reduces switching control complexity and there is no voltage balancing problem.

This paper introduces a new topology of multilevel inverter, which is able to operate at high performance. This proposed circuit achieves requirements of reduced number of switches, gate-drive circuits, and high design flexibility. In most cases fifteen-level inverters need at least twelve switches. The proposed topology has only ten switches. The inverter has a quasi-sine output voltage, which is formed by level generator and polarity changer to produce the desired voltage and current waveforms. The detailed operation of the proposed inverter is explained. The theoretical analysis and design procedure are given.

A New Multilevel Inverter Structure For High-Power Applications using Multi-c...IJPEDS-IAES
In recent, several numbers of multilevel inverter structures have been
introduced that the numbers of circuit devices have been reduced. This paper
introduces a new structure for multilevel inverter which can be used in highpower
applications. The proposed topology is based on cascaded connection
of basic units. This topology consists of minimum number of circuit

Study and Simulation of Seven Level - Ten Switch Inverter TopologyMohd Esa
Compared to conventional two-level inverter, multilevel inverter
performance is high because of their reduced harmonic distortion, less
electromagnetic interference, reduced common mode voltage and higher dc link
voltages. However complex pulse width modulation control, balancing of
capacitor voltages & increased number of switches are main drawbacks of
multilevel inverter.This paper focuses on study and simulation of single phase
seven level inverter topology using only ten switches. This paper also presents
two different control techniques for seven level-ten switch inverter topology.Rload
is connected to inverter and simulation is performed using
MATLAB/Simulink Software.
In recent research, there has been an extensive increase in interest to multilevel power
conversion. The introduction of new inverter topologies & unique modulation
techniques was involved in recent research studies. However, the most commonly
used multi-level inverter topologies are multi-cell inverter [1], diode clamped inverter
[2]-[5] and capacitor clamped inverter [6]. Some applications for these inverters
include industrial drives, flexible ac transmission systems [7], traction applications in
the transport industry and grid integration of non-conventional energy sources.
The seven level-ten switch topology is a symmetrical topology since the values of
all voltage sources are the same. However, there are several asymmetrical topologies
that need voltage sources of different values. This asymmetry results in the need of dc
voltage sources having a specific relation between them and also the difference in
rating of the semiconductor switches. This paper, presents study and simulation of a
new multilevel inverter topology named reversing voltage (RV) [8]. This topology
requires less number of components compared to conventional topologies. It is also
more efficient since the inverter has a component which operates the switching power
devices at line frequency. Therefore, there is no need for all switches to work in high
frequency which leads to simpler and more reliable control of the inverter. Two
different control techniques are used in this paper to drive the inverter .The simulation
results of the seven level-ten switch inverter topology are presented.

Implementation of Cascaded H-bridge MULTI-LEVEL INVERTEREditor IJMTER
The classical two level inverter produce output with levels either Vdc or -Vdc. The output
voltage waveform of ideal inverter should be sinusoidal but the waveform of conventional inverters
is non-sinusoidal and contains certain harmonics. Large capacitor is normally connected across the
DC voltage source and such a capacitor is costly and demands space. In order to overcome these
drawbacks Multi level inverters are introduced. The great advantage of this kind of inverter is the
minimum harmonic distortion obtained. Power electronics is the applications of power
semiconductor devices for the control and conversion of electric power such that these devices
operate as switches. An inverter is an electrical device that converts DC voltage to AC voltage; the
resulting AC can be at any required frequency. Multi-level inverters are nothing but the modification
of basic bridge inverters [1]. The multilevel inverter collectively converts the several levels of dc
voltage to a desired ac voltage. The unique structure of multilevel inverters allows them to reach
nearer to sinusoidal i.e., with low harmonics. In this project the work is done on five & nine level
multilevel inverter but the multilevel can be done up to any level and how many levels we increase
that much precise sinusoidal supply we can get i.e., we can reduce that many harmonics from the
supply. Simulation work is done using the MATLAB software

This paper proposes an asymmetrical cascaded single phase H-bridge inverter. The proposed inverter consists of two modules with unequal and isolated dc sources. Each module is composed of dc source, conventional four switches H-bridge and single bidirectional switch. To increase the output voltage levels, the tertiary ratio, 1:3, between its two dc sources is adopted. Both the fundamental frequency and the multicarrier pulse width modulation (PWM) control schemes are employed to generate switches signals. By controlling the inverter modulation index, the proposed inverter can generate an output voltage having up to seventeen levels by using only two modules. The proposed topology has also the feature of modularity which means that it can be extended to any levels by adding new modules. The proposed topology is simulated using an inductive load and some selected simulation results have been provided to validate the proposed inverter.
Simulation of 3-phase matrix converter using space vector modulationIJECEIAES
This paper illustrates the simulation of 3-phase matrix converter using Space Vector Modulation (SVM). Variable AC output voltage engendered using matrix converter with bidirectional power switches controlled by appropriate switching pulse. The conventional PWM converter engenders switching common mode voltage across the load system terminals, which cause to common mode current and its leads to bearing failure in load drive. These problems can be rectified using SVM and which minimize the effect on the harmonic fluctuation in AC output voltage and stress on the power switch is reduced using bidirectional switch for proposed 3-phase matrix converter. The simulation results have been presented to validate the proposed system using matlab / simulink.

Abstract
There is strong trend in the photovoltaic (PV) inverter technology to use transformer less topologies in order to
acquire higher efficiencies. The general function of multilevel inverter is to synthesis desired voltage from solar
source. This inverter has advantageous of industrial applications. The use of converters will increase losses and
cost in conventional methods. The proposed seven level multilevel inverter with solar energy using Pulse Width
Modulation Technique (PWM) of providing high switching frequency will highly reduce harmonics. The
inverter produces output voltage in seven levels Vdc, Vdc/3, 2Vdc/3, 0,-Vdc/3,-2Vdc/3,-Vdc. The validity of the
propose inverter is verified through simulation.
Keywords:Pulse Width Modulation (PWM), Photovoltaic (PV) Source, Maximum Power Point (MPP).
I. Introduction
The PV inverter, which is the heart of a PV
system, is used to convert dc power obtained from PV
modules into ac power to be fed into the
load.Improving the output waveform of the Inverter
reduces its respective harmonic content and, hence,
size of the filter used and the level of the
Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) generated by
switching operation of the inverter. In recent years,
multilevel inverters have become more attractive for
researchers and manufacturers due to their advantages
over conventional three level PWM Inverters. They
offer improved output waveforms, smaller filter size
and lower EMI, lower Total Harmonic Distortion
(THD). A multilevel inverter has several advantages
over a conventional two-level converter that uses
high switching frequency Pulse Width Modulation
(PWM). The attractive features of a multilevel
inverter can be briefly summarized as follows. 1).
Staircase Waveform Quality: Multilevel inverters not
only can generate the output voltages with very low
distortion, but also can reduce the dv/dt stresses;
therefore Electro Magnetic Compatibility (EMC)
problems can be reduced. 2) Common-Mode (CM)
Voltage: Multilevel inverters produce smaller
Common mode voltage; so that stress in the bearings
of a motor get reduced which is connected to the
multilevel inverter. Furthermore, CM voltage can be
eliminated by using advanced modulation strategies.
3) Input Current: Multilevel inverters can draw input
current with low distortion. 4) Switching Frequency:
Multilevel inverters can operate at both fundamental
switching frequency and high switching frequency
PWM [12].
Fig.1. Block Diagram of the Proposed Model
The inverter generates 2s+1
-1 different voltages (e.g.
an inverter with s=2 cells can generate 23
-1=7
different voltage level).In conventional method low
level inverter is used and better sinusoidal waveform
was not obtained which is the drawback of the
conventional system and the harmonics was high. So
increasing the levels of inverter to get high resolution,
hence the output waveform is mostly sinusoidal
waveform [8].In conventional method, some
additional drawbacks like electromagnetic
compatibility and common mode voltage problems
easily occurs consuming large current cause swing in
the voltage due to harmonics which can be easily
viewed by our vision . Example: rolling lines in
Television using inverters.

II. Circuit Description of The
Proposed System
The hybrid cascaded H-bridge inverter power
circuit is illustrated in Fig.2. The inverter is composed
of two legs, in each one a series connection of two H-
bridge inverters fed by independent DC sources that
are not equal (V1 < V2). In this proposed method of
the inverter, has two input stages, all the two stages
are alike in the construction module. All the modules
are connected as new cascaded with each module
having power switches. The power switches may be
IGBT, MOSFET or any other power devices, IGBT’s
are used in this system. The power switches are
operated in switching mode such that any two
switches are in operating conditions at time and other
at time and other two switches are in open condition.
One switch from upper arm as well as lower arm act
in the operating condition of corresponding bridge.
The use of asymmetric input voltages can reduce, or
when properly chosen, eliminate redundant output
levels, maximizing the number of different levels
generated by the inverter. Therefore this topology
can achieve the same output voltage quality with less
number of semiconductors. This also reduces
volume, costs, and losses and improves reliability.
When cascading two level inverters like H-bridges,
the optimal asymmetry is obtained by using voltage
sources proportionally scaled to the two H-bridges
power. seven different output levels can be
generated using only two cells (8 switches) while
three cells (12 switches) are necessary to achieve the
same amount of level with symmetric fed inverter.
Fig. 2. Circuit Diagram of Multilevel Inverter
III. Switching Pattern
For first pulse, switches one and four Vdc
will act along with action of switches five and six
produce first level of output waveform and after next
duration of pulses switches five and eight act to
produce 2Vdc along with action of switches three
and four produces 0Vdc gives +2Vdc form next level
in the output waveform without any distortion. The
next pulses of action from IGBT driver circuit make
switches of five and eight in the second bridge of
power circuit to produce +2Vdc along with action of
switches one and four gives +3Vdc output
waveform. After the completion of the third level
output waveform the control pulses ready to produce
next stage of output waveform by making switches
two and three gives -Vdc along with action of
switches five and eight in the second bridge gives -
2Vdc gives fifth level of output waveform with
resolution of high switching frequency which
reduces the harmonics in the output waveform to
obtain pure supply to load.
Table 1.Active Switching Pattern
This process of action keeps on continuing
produces corresponding stage of output level form
pure stepped sinusoidal output waveform was
produced.This process goes on increasing the level
number of output waveform to provide harmonic less
pure stepped output waveform to load where
switching pattern is shown in the Table.1.The main
advantage of proposed system is IGBT’s were used
instead of MOSFET,switches, flying capacitors
reduces which will consequently reduce gate
triggering losses,switching losses.

V. Simulink Model Of Seven Level
Inverter
The feasibility of the proposed approach is
verified using computer simulations. A model of the
seven-level inverter is constructed in MATLAB-
Simulink software. A new strategy with reduced
number of switches is employed. Cascaded 7 level
inverter requires 12 switches to get seven level output
voltage and with the proposed topology requirement
is reduced to 8 switches. The new topology has the
advantage of its reduced number of switching devices
(switches) compared to conventional cascaded H-
bridge multilevel inverter, and can be extended to any
number of levels.
The below simulink model in Fig.8 could
recreate the characteristic curves shown in Fig.6 and
Fig.7 . The life time of the PV panel depends on the
environmental conditions at which the panel is
installed. Ageing effect is unavoidable but it can be
minimized using anti-aging agents like ethylene vinyl
acetate. This serve to improve the life time of PV
panel to certain extent. The exact life time of the PV
panel is unpredictable as it depends upon the field
conditions and quality of manufacturing.

Table 3. Level Description
The efficiency of the proposed system is higher than
a conventional inverter for applications where
switching losses are high. Reduced numbers of
switches were used in the proposed solar based MLI.
It is an attractive solution to get large number of
levels together with a better efficiency.

Fig 10. Experimental Setup
It is fact that harmonic components in load current
closely affect the performance of the existing inverter
The (THD) is one of these measures, which
evaluates the quantity of harmonic contents in the
output waveform and is a popular performance index
for power inverters. Fig 9. Shows simulink output of
seven level inverter. Fig 10. (a),(b),(c) shows the
hardware set up and outputs measured by Power
Quality Analyser. The Percentage of harmonics
obtained is 9.17%.From the above result proposed
system gives high efficiency.
VIII. CONCLUSION
Asymmetrical multilevel inverter topology
has been proposed in our work. The most important
thing of the proposed system is being convenient for
expanding and increasing the number of output
levels simply with less number of switches.
This method results in the reduction of the number of
switches, losses and cost of the inverter. If we
presented hybrid switching, the multilevel inverter
generates near-sinusoidal output voltage and as a
result, very has low harmonic content.
