The global use of renewable energy resources has led to the design and development of high performance, efficient, controllable, and cheap multilevel inverters, which act as a solution to the ...numerous power deficiencies. However, in terms of control, these multilevel inverters are often associated with DC sources and complexity. Therefore, this research designed a single-phase five-level inverter using a DC source, with a novel sinusoidal pulse-width-modulated (SPWM) control scheme. The system consists of a Flying Capacitor DC-DC Converter and H-Bridge Inverter (FCDCDC-HBI). A single absolute reference signal and the phase-shifted triangular carrier were used to generate SPWM to enhance the capacitor voltage balance. The designed inverter is capable of producing five levels of output voltage levels, namely Vi, Vi/2, 0, −Vi/2, and −Vi from a DC supply, thereby reducing the overall cost and complexity of the SPWM system. This research also produced a detailed operation principle of the proposed system, which was verified through simulation and implemented using a prototype. Finally, hardware implementation results are presented to check the performance of the inverter.
The inverter with low voltage harmonics on the output side is a very interesting topic, and widely studied. One of these solutions is a 5-levels inverter: Dual Buck DC-DC Converter - H Bridge ...Inverter (DBC-HBI). The inverter control methods based on digital sinusoidal pulse width modulation (DSPWM) are commonly implemented by one or a half of the wavelength algorithm (λ). However, one period could be constructed by combining four algorithms by ¼ λ. In this paper, an algorithm of DSPWM based on a ¼ λ algorithm is investigated. The aim of this research is the simplest control and capacities of memory. Finally, a verification of the proposed method was carried out by the experiment in the laboratory. Based on the laboratory tests: 1 λ algorithm has a simple algorithm, but uses large memory, whereas a ¼ λ algorithm more complicated but uses less memory.
The increasing demand for electrical energy must be balanced with using renewable energy. However, the use of renewable energy requires a system to maximize the conversion of renewable energy into ...electrical energy. Various topologies have been studied to achieve maximum energy conversion. Two types of inverters, namely step up-down, have been widely used but have their respective limitations. Step-down inverters can only be used in lower output voltage than input voltage conditions with simple control, while step-up inverters can only operate in higher output voltage than input voltage conditions. This paper aims to combine these two converters to have both step-up-down voltage functions, with the goal of expanding the operating range and maintaining the advantages of each type. Thus, a topology called a step-up-down five-level inverter with a simple voltage-controlled capacitor balancing system is proposed in this paper. Finally, the simulation and laboratory tests were done. This inverter operates in step-up-down voltage, and the voltage in capacitors is always balanced to reach the desired level. The voltage control was done to get the constant voltage event the load was changed.
