Implementation Of 5-Level Cascaded H-Bridge Multilevel Inverter

Multilevel inverters have gained popularity in recent years due to their capacity to produce high-quality output voltages with lower harmonic distortion and switching losses than conventional two-level inverters. The Cascaded H-bridge configuration is unique among multilevel inverter topologies due to its simplicity, scalability, modularity, and low component count, making it an appealing choice for a variety of applications such as renewable energy systems, motor drives, and grid-tied inverters. This paper presents the design, implementation, and performance analysis of a 5-level Cascaded H-bridge multilevel inverter. The implementation presented in this study serves as an educational tool, supplementing theoretical knowledge for students and enabling analysis of performance parameters.
