A multilevel inverter converts DC voltage to AC voltage using multiple lower level DC voltages as inputs. It produces a stepped staircase waveform that is closer to a sinusoidal waveform compared to a conventional inverter. This project generates AC sinusoids up to multilevel levels by comparing a 2-level inverter to the developed multilevel inverter. The goal is to produce a smooth sinusoidal voltage for appliances by using multiple switching levels to reduce voltage changes.
Multi-Level inverter
A multilevelinverter is a power electronic device which is
capable of providing desired alternating voltage level at the
output using multiple lower level DC voltages as an input.

What is inverter
•Direct current/voltage (DC) converted to alternating
current/voltage (AC).

abstracts
• This projectgenerates AC sinusoids up to multilevel.
• It compares existing 2-level inverter with that of our
multilevel inverter.
• ( VSI means Voltage level Inverter )
• We study their effects on voltages
• Existing topologies are same but we get good output from DC
i/p
Goal…
• To getsinusoidal voltage
• Up to some extent for appliances.
• Because smoothness for every system is very important
• Abrupt change dose not accepted by inductors and capacitors
• So Square wave is not required for us only sinusoidal smooth
wave.
Multi level inverters
•Preferred to conventional inverters we have
• Capable of producing stepped stair case form as shown next
slide;
• Gives us wave nearer to pure sinusoidal wave we require for
our appliances
• We achieve such a desired output as shown after calculations.
• fast switching of DC signal giving us multiple levels.

Why Multi levelinverters?
• Because ,In every industry and also in domestic applications,
• Its output is good nearer to sinusoidal voltage as given
example;
Importance of MLI.
•Used in every field.
• It gives us higher power
• Operated through multiple switches
• Power conditioning
• Industrial Motor Drives
• Power Grids
• Transportation

Drawbacks
• Having complexstructures
• Stresses along the switches.
• Utilizes along the switches
• Utilizes more input sources
