Abstract

In this study, an active neutral point clamped-type boosting switched-capacitor multilevel inverter (SCMLI) with self-voltage balancing capability is proposed. In the proposed topology, a novel switched capacitor cell is used, which has eight switches and two diodes. The presented topology has reduced power component count with self-boosting and balancing abilities. The distinctive features of the proposed topology are highlighted and benchmarked against other recent 7L-SCMLI topologies. To validate the feasibility of the proposed topology, experimental tests are performed on a 1 kW prototype hardware setup.
