Abstract
The switched capacitor multilevel inverter (SCMLI) grabbed a special position in power generation from the PV system. The absence of a complex control scheme with the enhancement of output voltage gain is the reason for choosing SCMLI for the PV system. This paper provides a design of seven-level MLI (7L-MLI) with a self-voltage balancing scheme of switched capacitor which can boost the output voltage 1.5 times of source voltage. The focus of attention of the proposed design is the utilization of a fewer number of components as it includes only 7 switches and 2 capacitors with a single source. It also achieved lower total standing voltage (TSV), which makes the design more suitable for high voltage application. The practicality of the system is verified under several testing conditions and also compared with various designs. The simulation results are presented to realize the superiority of the proposed design.
