Abstract

Hybrid multilevel inverters (MLI) are popular for high-voltage and high-power applications with a reduced number of devices, for the purpose of cost optimization, ease of design, control, and maintenance. The minimum total harmonic distortion (THD) levels indicate power quality improvement to the maximum level. THD can be minimized by optimum switching angle control. In this paper, two 19-level hybrid multilevel inverters are cascaded to produce output voltage of 37 levels with optimum switching angle control for enhancing the power quality by reducing the THD. The system is simulated in MATLAB/Simulink. The THD of simulated output of is compared with the calculated values.

Notes

  1. 1.

    Though the model is simulated for 1100 V peak output voltage, the THD depends on the shape and pattern of the output voltage. The voltage should be close to the sinusoidal waveform. Low THD indicates good power quality and closeness to sinusoidal wave shape.
