Title
A novel single source multilevel inverter with hybrid switching technique
Abstract
A novel multilevel inverter (MLI) configuration with the hybrid switching technique is presented in this paper. The proposed MLI consists of the H-bridge combination with unidirectional switches, half-bridges, and transformers. The suggested MLI with the additional cascaded connection increases to higher voltage levels. The number of employed components in this topology is drastically minimized. Therefore, the complexity, cost, and volume of the proposed topology are also reduced. The operation of the suggested topology is tested through the improved novel switching technique. This modulation method reduces the total harmonic distortion (THD) and produces high root mean square (RMS) voltage. Further, a comprehensive comparison with the recent MLI topologies is performed to validate the merits of the suggested inverter. Simulation and experimental results verify the suggested topology performance using the new modulation technique at different loading conditions and modulation indices.
