Abstract

Because of lower stress in terms of rate of voltage, current, and harmonic content, most Inverters which include Multilevel are frequently used in applications like different power converters. This study primarily focuses on a new parallel H-bridge Current Source Multilevel Inverter (CSMLI) circuit arrangement for power system applications. The suggested circuit operates by coupling a DC source to the H-bridge CSI to produce the multi-level output current waveform. Othered power device count, inverter losses, and other novel features can be found in the suggested circuit. The effectiveness of the selected nine-level H-bridge CSI is evaluated through the MATLAB/Simulink program and a Multicarrier PWM control approach.
