A Single-Phase Hybrid Seventeen Level Multilevel Inverter Topology

Inverters play a major role in electrical field and there have been many advancement in this context. Multilevel inverter is one among them. This study proposes a single phase seventeen level multilevel inverter. Here the dc sources will be coupled in a series/parallel configuration to distribute the load. A couple of switches and voltage sources will be used for producing a larger number of output level voltage. The harmonic content will be reduced by using the technique of hybrid modulation. Comparison in THD value is done for thirteen level and seventeen level topology and THD value improvement can be seen here. The simulation of the inverter is carried out in SIMULINK.
