Title
A new seven-level ANPC inverter structure with semiconductor device reduction
Abstract
An active neutral point clamped-type multilevel inverter (ANPC-MLI) with self-voltage balancing capability is being suggested for this study. A new switched capacitor cell with eight switches is used for seven-level generation in the proposed topology. The topology proposed has decreased the power element count with the ability to self-balancing of capacitor voltages and boosting ability. The distinguishing characteristics of the proposed topology are emphasized and compared with other recent 7L-SCMLI topologies. Experimental testing on a prototype hardware is conducted to validate the feasibility of the proposed topology.
