Abstract

The MLI is developed by combining cross-switched MLI (main circuit) with switched-capacitor MLI (auxiliary circuit). For different combinations of input DC voltage sources, the proposed inverter is analyzed and the general equations of different quantities have been found out. As the switched-capacitor circuit is interconnected with the cross-switched MLI, it reduces the number of power supplies and switching devices and further boosted the input voltage. A detailed comparison study has been presented. Half height (HH) pulse width modulation scheme has been chosen as the switching scheme in order to reduce the switching loss of the multilevel inverter.
