Harmonic Minimization in 31-Level Cascaded Multilevel Inverter Topology with Reduced Number of Switches

Abstract

Multilevel inverters are power electronic devices that changes over DC to AC quantity. But these devices produces non-sinusoidal signal which contains harmonics. So as to be overcome this problem a 31-level cascaded multilevel inverter topology was developed. The proposed inverter topology has been designed based on the minimum number of switches, switching power losses and total harmonic distortion[THD] when compared to the symmetrical seven level and asymmetrical fifteen level inverter topology. The simulation results are presented showing the validity of the analysis.
