 Introduction

◉ Ever rising demand for electrical energy and depleting fossil fuel reserves
are compelling reasons to use existing resources more efficiently.

◉ New highly efficient power electronic technologies and power control

strategies are therefore needed to reduce energy waste.

◉ Different inverter topology therefore introduced to increase the efficiency

of PV systems.

4
 Introduction

◉ Cascaded H-bridge inverter is the most attractive topology because of its

modularity, simple physical layout smaller no of component and higher
reliability.

◉ In addition the necessity of isolated dc sources makes this topology an

ideal candidate for PV application.

5
 Problem statements

◉ Due to the existence of harmonics, the output of the inverter is usually not
an ideal sine wave.[3]

◉ As the number of switches increase , the THD in the output will decrease,
but the reliability will also decreases.[1]

6
 Objectives

◉ We will try to use the pulse width modulation techniques and less
number of switches to reduce harmonics and increase reliability.
