Abstract

This paper shows the comparative study between level-shifted pulse width modulation and hybrid pulse width modulation switching techniques for a conventional multilevel inverter topology named CHB for 7-level output. The advantage of cascade H-bridge is it uses least count of component compared with two other conventional multilevel inverter topology named diode clamped and flying capacitor multilevel inverter, and it have also less total harmonic distortion value in the output load voltage. This paper shows the comparisons between these two switching technique with amplitude modulation index. Switching techniques performance is judged by the MATLAB simulation software. The simulation results show the level-shifted PWM switching technique that can give better total harmonic distortion compared to hybrid pulse width modulation switching technique.
