Abstract

In latest years, commercial companies rely upon using static power converters for developing large voltage and large current applications. For these kind applications preferably we choose multilevel inverters. The multilevel inverters are used to convert DC input power to AC output power with more number of voltage levels and with less Total Harmonic Distortion (THD). In this paper, we evolved a new technique, soft switching for unique power converter called stacked multicell converter (SMC). The fuzzy logic controller used to controls the multi levels of operation for Stacked Multicell Converter. As compared to the conventional converter, This SMC topology provides more input voltage levels, reduces the converter energy storage, and also reduces the voltage and current burden on semiconductor switching devices. This paper presents the analysis and simulation results for fuzzy logic controlled multilevel inverter of circuit topologies for open and closed loop operations.
