Abstract
A novel Four Switch Infinite Level Inverter (FSILI) is proposed in this paper. In conventional multilevel inverters, as the number of levels increases the output voltage becomes more sinusoidal. Unlike conventional multilevel topologies, the output voltage level in the proposed topology depends upon the switching frequency. Since the switching frequency is very high, the output voltage level approaches infinity, thus the name Infinite Level Inverter. Proposed topology requires only one inductor and capacitor reducing the size, weight and thus cost of the overall system. Inherent buck operation is happening in the proposed topology with a sine varying duty ratio PWM control. Steady-state analysis and design of the inverter are carried out. The proposed topology is simulated using Matlab/Simulink to evaluate the theoretical analysis and operation. A hardware prototype is also developed to validate the operation of proposed FSILI.
