Single source multi gain 7-level switched-capacitor inverter topology with reduce device Count

ABSTRACTA new multi gain SC inverter topology with fewer switching components and lower voltage stress is presented in this paper. It comprises eight switches and two capacitors, which raise the output voltage by three times the supply voltage. The capacitors voltages are automatically balanced to ensure proper operation. The circuit constructional, operation, and parameter optimisation techniques are discussed in details. A simple logic-based multicarrier Level Shift Pulse Width Modulation (LS-PWM) is employed to control the switching operation that reduces the complexity of the control circuit. Furthermore, a comparative analysis with other recent topologies has been presented to demonstrate the virtues of this approach. Finally, the proposed topology (PT) verification, feasibility, and effectiveness have been demonstrated both in simulation and experimentation.KEYWORDS: Cost functionLS-PWM techniqueMultilevel inverterSwitched-capacitorTSVDisclaimerAs a service to authors and researchers we are providing this version of an accepted manuscript (AM).
