ABSTRACT
Use of Multilevel Inverter(MLI)s in medium and high power applications are
increasing due to reduced voltage stress across the switches and lower total
harmonic distortion (THD) of the output waveform. But the conventional MLIs
requires more number of switches as the level increases for reducing the THD
of the output waveform.
The new MLI inverter topology with reduced number of power electronic
components produces thirteen level output voltage using only 9 switches and a
diode. For generating thirteen level output voltage conventional Hbridge MLI
uses 12 switches, which increase the cost as well as switching losses.
An induction motor fed from the proposed MLI is simulated in
MATLAB/SIMULINK environment and the corresponding results are
presented.
INTRODUCTION
The Multilevel inverters (MLI)are preferred over conventional
inverters as the quality of the output voltage improves with the
number of voltage levels at the output.
The main advantage of MLI is that the output voltage is almost
nearer to sine wave and the other advantages of MLI are reduced
dv/dt stress across the switches, and less THD.
The Multilevel inverters are categorized into three types. They are
I. Diode clamped MLI
II. Flying capacitor MLI
III. Cascaded H-bridge MLI

The conventional H-bridge VSI produces a square wave output
voltage waveform which contains infinite number of odd harmonics
to obtain the sine wave output we prefer PWM based H-Bridge
inverter.
MODULATION TECHNIQUES
The level shifted pulse width modulation technique has three types
1.In Phase disposition
2. Phase disposition opposition
3. Alternate phase opposition disposition
In Phase Disposition all the carrier signals are in same phase.
In Phase Opposition Disposition all the carrier signals above the
zero are out of phase with those below the zero by 180.
In Alternate Phase Opposition Disposition all the adjacent carrier
signals are out of phase by 180.
