The Development and Analysis of a Novel Multilevel Inverter Topology with Reduced Device Count

Abstract

A novel MLI structure is developed. First, 9-Level basic MLI structure has been developed and analyzed for minimal and maximum frequency modulation scheme. Further, an extended structure has been developed to execute additional output voltage levels using minimal components. The voltage stress analysis, power losses analysis and comparison study have been determined in detail. The proposed structure uses minimal components and sustains lower TSV on estimation with other structures. The simulation evaluation of the basic 9-Level structure has been presented to validate its merits and effectiveness.
