applications of multilevel inverters

The Inverter is an electrical device which converts direct current (DC) to alternate current (AC). The inverter is used for
emergency backup power in a home. The inverter is used in some aircra systems to convert a portion of the aircra DC power different types of inverter topologies
to AC. The AC power is used mainly for electrical devices like lights, radar, radio, motor, and other devices.
advantages of multi level inverter
Multilevel Inverter:
multistage inverter
Now a day’s many industrial applications have begun to require high power. Some appliances in the industries however require
medium or low power for their operation. Using a high power source for all industrial loads may prove beneficial to some single level inverter

motors requiring high power, while it may damage the other loads. Some medium voltage motor drives and utility applications
require medium voltage. The multi level inverter has been introduced since 1975 as alternative in high power and medium
voltage situations. The Multi level inverter is like an inverter and it is used for industrial applications as alternative in high power RECENT POSTS
and medium voltage situations.

Multilevel Inverter

General DC-AC Inverter Circuit

The need of multilevel converter is to give a high output power from medium voltage source. Sources like batteries, super
capacitors, solar panel are medium voltage sources. The multi level inverter consists of several switches. In the multi level
inverter the arrangement switches’ angles are very important.
Types of Multilevel Inverter:
Multilevel inverters are three types.

Diode clamped multilevel inverter

Flying capacitors multilevel inverter
Cascaded H- bridge multilevel inverter

Diode Clamped Multilevel Inverter:

The main concept of this inverter is to use diodes and provides the multiple voltage levels through the di erent phases to the
capacitor banks which are in series. A diode transfers a limited amount of voltage, thereby reducing the stress on other electrical
devices. The maximum output voltage is half of the input DC voltage. It is the main drawback of the diode clamped multilevel MOST READ POSTS

Flying Capacitors Multilevel Inverter:

The main concept of this inverter is to use capacitors. It is of series connection of capacitor clamped switching cells. The
capacitors transfer the limited amount of voltage to electrical devices. In this inverter switching states are like in the diode

In this inverter only switches and capacitors are used.

Applications of Flying Capacitors Multilevel Inverter

Induction motor control using DTC (Direct Torque Control) circuit

Static var generation
Both AC-DC and DC-AC conversion applications
Converters with Harmonic distortion capability
Sinusoidal current rectifiers

Cascaded H-Bridge Multilevel Inverter:

The cascaded H-bride multi level inverter is to use capacitors and switches and requires less number of components in each
level. This topology consists of series of power conversion cells and power can be easily scaled. The combination of capacitors
and switches pair is called an H-bridge and gives the separate input DC voltage for each H-bridge. It consists of H-bridge cells
and each cell can provide the three di erent voltages like zero, positive DC and negative DC voltages. One of the advantages of
this type of multi level inverter is that it needs less number of components compared with diode clamped and flying capacitor
inverters. The price and weight of the inverter are less than those of the two inverters. So -switching is possible by the some of
the new switching methods.

Multilevel cascade inverters are used to eliminate the bulky transformer required in case of conventional multi phase inverters,
clamping diodes required in case of diode clamped inverters and flying capacitors required in case of flying capacitor inverters.
But these require large number of isolated voltages to supply the each cell.

Advantages of Multilevel Inverter:

The multilevel converter has a several advantages, that is:

1. Common Mode Voltage: 

The multilevel inverters produce common mode voltage, reducing the stress of the motor and don’t damage the motor.
2. Input Current: 

Multilevel inverters can draw input current with low distortion  

3. Switching Frequency:

The multilevel inverter can operate at both fundamental switching frequencies that are higher switching frequency and lower
switching frequency. It should be noted that the lower switching frequency means lower switching loss and higher e iciency is
achieved.

4. Reduced harmonic distortion:

Selective harmonic elimination technique along with the multi level topology results the total harmonic distortion becomes low
in the output waveform without using any filter circuit.

Why cascaded h bridge inverter is preferred over diode and capacitor clamped multi level inverters

Tarun Agarwal Says: REPLY

at
Hi Saquib
It does not require any components like capacitors, diodes for clamping, and the waveform is totally sinusoidal in nature
even if you don’t filter it
