Abstract
Multilevel H-bridge inverters have grown in popularity in electronic direct current (DC) to alternating current (AC) power conversion. In the renewable energy field, H-bridge inverters are used for converting DC voltage obtained from solar panels to AC voltage. However, H-bridge inverters produce undesirable odd harmonics in their output. Several H-bridges are, therefore, usually cascaded to reduce the total harmonic distortion (THD) in their output, but the results aren’t satisfactory in most cases. In this paper, both active and passive filters are incorporated in a cascaded H-bridge inverter to reduce the THD further. Then cost comparison is made of cascaded H-bridge inverters (3, 5, 7, 9, and 11-levels) without a filter and multilevel cascaded H-bridge inverters (3, 5, 7, 9, and 11-levels) with a passive filter or active filter. Powersim (PSIM) platform is used to perform the THD analysis.
