Abstract

Multilevel inverters offer several advantages compared to the conventional 3-phase bridge inverter in terms of lower dv/dt stresses, lower electromagnetic compatibility, smaller rating and better output features. This project presents a 9-level diode Clamped inverter using Sinusoidal pulse width Modulation techniques as the control strategies. The algorithm has been developed within the carrier-based PWM framework to facilitate its implementation in diode clamped converters with three or more levels. A simulation model of 9-level DCMI has been designed and developed. The results obtained from the simulation model have been compared with the 3-level and 5-level diode clamped inverter. By increasing the level of inverter, effective balancing in line voltage and reduced THD is obtained.
