Abstract

The multilevel inverters (MLI) are having more features to usage. In existing methods like diode clamped MLI and H-Bridge MLI, more number of switches are using compared to proposed MLI. So, a new method of 35-level MLI topology is a combination of diode clamped and cascaded multilevel inverters. In this method using the less number of switches and their pulse generating circuit. So, thereby ensuring the switching loss, reducing size and installation cost also less. So, the new proposed technology is well designed for renewable applications (RA) like PV cell and wind energy systems. Comparing to the other existing inverters, the switch count is very less. The results are validating by using MATLAB/Simulink design.
