Abstract

 A multilevel inverter is a power electronic device which is capable

of providing desired alternating voltage level at the output using
multiple lower level DC voltages as an input.
 The project is mainly focused on the development of cascaded type
multilevel inverter for domestic application and elimination of
harmonic distortion and its effects[1].
 The topology which we will use is suitable for any number of levels.

PROBLEM STATEMENT

The conventional inverter will produce a high total

harmonic distortion.

Conventional inverter has resulted in higher switching

losses and less efficiency.

The conventional two-level inverter topology has some

large drawback than adopted topology.
Proposed Solution

 Increase the number of voltage level.

 Reduced the number of switch.

LITERATURE REVIEW

 The multi-level inverter is to synthesize a near sinusoidal voltage

from several levels of dc voltages[1].
 The need of multilevel inverter is to give a high output power from
medium voltage source
 Multilevel inverters have become more popular over the years in electric high
power applications with less disturbances in voltage and the possibility to function
at lower switching frequencies than ordinary two level inverter
OBJECTIVE

To develop a cascaded H-bridge multilevel inverter

that can produce Three-level output.

To simulate cascaded topology with PWM by using

MATLAB/Simulink.
