Abstract

This paper introduces a novel Multi-Level Inverter (MLI) design which utilizes a single input and leverages capacitor voltages source to generate a four-fold increase in output voltage as the main problem that stays with the inverters is their low boost ability and efficiency while maintaining power quality at the same time. One capacitor is charged to match the input voltage magnitude, while the other two capacitors store twice this magnitude. Through a series-parallel combination with switching operations, all capacitors are effectively charged and discharged within each cycle, ensuring natural voltage balance. A comprehensive comparative analysis is conducted to highlight the advantages of this innovative approach, particularly in terms of component reduction and mitigation of voltage stress. Detailed assessment of power losses within the proposed circuit is undertaken, simulation studies are first carried out while extensive experimentation verifies its operational efficiency under diverse conditions such as varying modulation indices, loads, and supply-side fluctuations with an impressive maximum efficiency of 96.9 % at a 200 W power rating, our research contributes to advancing compact power converters, addressing crucial challenges in modern power electronics applications, and paving the way for enhanced performance and reliability in such systems.
