Simulation of single phase switching capacitor 49 level inverter with reduced THD

Abstract

The study of single phase Switched Capacitors Multi Level Inverter (MLI) is used with Switched Capacitor Converter (SCC) units. The SCC is used to increase the input DC voltage by connecting capacitor in string and shunt. This increassed DC link voltage is converted in to multilevel i.e. 49 level AC output. This SCMLI topology is used to reduce the number of switches, diodes, isolated dc power supply and Total Harmonic Distortion (THD). The SCMLI provides 49 level output voltage using 14 power switches and 3 isolated power supply. The performance of the SCMLI topology is confirmed by using MATLAB simulation result.
