Abstract

In recent years Multilevel Inverter (MLI) getting in popular due to its performance in field of medium and high-power applications. Many MLI’s like Diode-clamped, cascaded H-bridge, flying capacitor and hybrid cascaded H-bridge are introduced in 1970’s. But due to the draw backs like harmonic distortions researchers are concentrated on novel topologies. Recently nested configuration is gaining attention to researchers due to it is having an advantage of 3-phase design with a smaller number of components compared to traditional MLI topologies. Hence, this paper investigates the performance an advanced MLI named as Nested topology for 72V electric vehicle (EV) motor drive application for 1kW/1500 RPM system. It can generate near-sinusoidal voltages with only fundamental switching frequency, there is no electromagnetic interference (EMI) and also it gives easy operating EV and safer conditions. Furthermore, this paper inspects the analysis, benefits and control scheme for nested MLI for the use of EV motor drive applications. The simulations are carried out using Matlab/Simlink.
