Advantages Of Multilevel Inverter

The impact of the proposed sequences has been simulated for 0.4 modulation index with a 0.5 lagging power factor load (power factor angle 60°). The simulation setup consists of the following software: 1) MATLAB/Simulink – used to implement the modulation strategies and switching sequences, and 2) PSIM – used to simulate the T-NPC inverter running with an R-L load and to provide conduction and switching losses of each switch. The inverter switching pulses were generated within Simulink and were fed to PSIM through sim-coupler module which provides a link between PSIM and simulink for the purpose of co-simulation [29].

Now a days, the switching power supply market is flourishing quickly. The trend is for DC-AC converters with low cost, higher efficiency, power saving that enable maximum features. In this project, a single-stage three-switch buck-boost inverter is designed, where stepping up, stepping down and inversion operation will takes place in single stage. This proposed inverter will overcome all the drawbacks of traditional one. Coupled inductor plays a very important role in energy transfer and eliminates the use of line frequency transformer. As the inverter having only three switches, the controlling of switches also easier than conventional one. And it has also advantages like compact design, reduced switching losses, component size, and cost.

For reverse voltage blocking a diode is used in series with the self-commutating device (IGBT) . However, GTO-based configurations have restricted frequency of switching they do not need the series diode. They are considered sufficiently reliable, but have higher losses and require higher values of parallel ac power capacitors. Moreover, they cannot be used in multilevel or multistep versions to improve performance in higher ratings.

In applications operating from AC line voltages of 600VAC and less, IGBTs with blocking voltage ratings of up to 1400V have provided an efficient low cost means of constructing high performance voltage source inverters. In higher voltage applications GTOs (Gate Turn-Off thyristors) have been used but their limited switching frequency of 300Hz or so, offers little advantage when compared to other circuit topologies. Clearly, a higher performance, high power semiconductor device is needed. Today, newly commercialized high voltage IGBTs with blocking voltages to 3300V

Abstract— Conventional three-level discontinuous pulse-width modulation (DPWM) techniques are typically employed in variable frequency drive applications to reduce inverter switching losses and provide maximum benefit for load power factor angles in the range from 30° lagging to 30° leading. This paper proposes a series of DPWM templates for lower power factors and a generalized DPWM strategy for three-level T-NPC inverters operating with modulation indices lower than 0.5. With a change in the power factor, the proposed strategy adapts the inverter pulse sequence by combining different portions of the proposed DPWM templates within one fundamental cycle and ensures minimum switching instances during transitions. Consequently, the strategy perfectly aligns the no-switching durations of the inverter pulse-patterns with the respective load-current peaks, achieving a 50% switching loss reduction for all operating power factor angles (90° lagging to 90° leading) at modulation indices lower than 0.5. The paper provides an analytical evaluation of the proposed strategy on the three-level T-NPC inverter switching losses. The simulation and experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed three-level generalized

Generation of electrical power in low voltage level is very much cost effective. Hence electrical power is generated in low voltage level. Theoretically, this low voltage level power can be transmitted to the receiving end. But if the voltage level of a power is increased, the current of the power is reduced which causes reduction in ohmic or I2R losses in the system, reduction in cross sectional area of the conductor i.e. reduction in capital cost of the system and it also improves the voltage regulation of the system. Because of these, low level power must be stepped up for efficient electrical power transmission. This is done by step up transformer at the sending side of the power system network. As this high voltage power may not be distributed to the consumers directly, this must be stepped down to the desired level at the receiving end with the help of step down transformer. These are the uses of electrical power

The conventional two levels Inverter have many limitations for high voltage and high power application. Multilevel inverter becomes very popular for high voltage and high power application. The multilevel inverter is started with the three level converters. The elementary concept of a multilevel converter to achieve higher power to use a series of power semiconductor switches with several lower voltage dc source to perform the power conversion by synthesizing a staircase voltage waveform. However, the output voltage is smoother with a three level converter, in which the output voltage has three possible values. This results in smaller harmonics, but on the other hand it has more components and is more complex to control.
