CHAPTER- I
INTRODUCTION
Power electronics is the efficient conversion and control of electric power utilising power
semiconductor devices. Power electronics are based on contemporary technology and can
be used for a variety of purposes. Power electronics converters play an important part in
the conversion of electric power signals to another signal. An inverter is a power
electrical device that transforms a direct current (DC) signal to an alternating current
(AC) signal. Inverters are essential for numerous applications such as battery-powered
mobile phones, electric vehicles, and continuous power delivery, among others. Inverters
are characterised as stand-alone or grid-connected. There are several single-phase and
three-phase inverters available, including voltage source inverters (VSI), current voltage
inverters (CSI), Z-Source inverters, and quasi Z-Source inverters.
Multiphase inverters are developed as new technology and approach expanding the five
phase inverters are introduced to alleviate the shortcomings of single and three phase
inverters. Instead of employing a three-phase inverter, a five-phase inverter can provide
improved efficiency, fewer copper losses, higher output power, and control of actual and
reactive power flow.
LITERATURE SURVEY
This work offers a new cascaded multilevel inverter architecture that extends the notion
of Split-Source Inverter (SSI) to cascaded Multi-Level Inverter (MLI) setups. This
construction combines boosting and dc-to-AC conversion in a single unit with fewer
passive parts, making it a viable alternative to the well-known Z-Source MLIs. Based on
the design of each SSI unit, two distinct configurations of the proposed inverter are
introduced. The suggested inverter's topological structure, working principle, and
modulation approaches are provided for each configuration. A simulation study is used to
assess the correctness of the analysis and the performance of the proposed topology. The
advantages of cascaded H-Bridge topologies, such as modularity and decreased system
cost, space, and performance, are highlighted in the article. The study also examines the
split-source inverter, which has two alternative topologies (P-type and N-type) and
consists of a single inductor and a diode for each inverter leg.
The switches are adjusted in a specified order to create the five-phase AC electricity. This
sequence specifies the phase voltage combinations that are created. Different
combinations of phase voltages may be obtained by altering the connections of the DC
sources, resulting in the necessary five-phase output. PWM methods are commonly used
to control the switches, which modify the switching patterns to regulate the output
voltage waveform. This enables accurate control and modification of the output power.
A five-phase split-source inverter converts direct current (DC) electricity from a power
source into alternating current (AC) power with five output phases. The switches are
programmed in such a manner that the DC sources can be linked to the load in various
ways, resulting in five alternative output voltage waveforms.
When compared to standard three-phase inverters, this type of inverter offers advantages
such as enhanced fault tolerance, higher power density, and increased efficiency. It is
widely utilised in applications requiring excellent power quality and dependability,
including as electric cars and renewable energy systems.
Typically, the switches are regulated using pulse width modulation (PWM) approaches.
Changing the switching patterns of the switches allows you to alter the width and timing
of the voltage pulses. This exact control allows the required AC voltage waveform to be
generated.
Overall, to generate the necessary five-phase output, the five-phase split-source inverter
requires precise synchronisation of the switches and DC sources.
The 5-Phase output voltage is applied to the load, which is a 5 Phase Induction Motor.
The Fast Fourier Transform is used in a variety of control systems, including sinusoidal
pulse width modulation, and shifted sinusoidal pulse width modulation. THD and
Fundamental Voltage are displayed in FFT Analysis for each phase, and the results are
compared and assessed depending on the control technique.
Based on this Three phase split source inverter waveforms we will extend it to 5 phase
split source inverters in level shifted approach
CHAPTER –IV
The simulation is run for two different control methods: sinusoidal pulse width
modulation and shifted sinusoidal modulation. The control circuits and waveforms for
both systems are distinct, and FFT analysis is conducted for both ways. Furthermore, the
fundamental voltage and THD have been detected for both control approaches. The
results show that the THD is lower with the level shifted technique than with the
sinusoidal pulse width modulation.
Here we can Observe that the THD is 16.04% in sinusoidal pulse width Modulation and
the Fundamental Voltage is 134.9. This is the data obtained from the output voltage
waveform of the sinusoidal pulse width modulation.

waveform of the sinusoidal pulse width modulation. The THD is reduced in case of Level
shifted sinusoidal pulse width modulation.
