Chapter 2: Multilevel inverter topologies for solar PV

Abstract

Inverters are electrical devices that are used to supply AC power to electrical and electronic devices. Inverters convert the DC power to AC power and also used as back-up power generators in industries. They intake DC power from batteries or solar panels and produce AC power for electrical devices. Multilevel inverters (MLIs) use multiconverters instead of one converter, and they are used in high-power applications. An MLI will have a series of semiconductor power convertors, which will generate sign wave or modified sign wave. MLIs are a viable solution to increase the power with a relatively low stress on the components and with simple control systems. Moreover, MLIs present several ...
