Abstract

Since their inception in the late 1990s, multilevel inverters have experienced a number of modifications, some of which include novel topologies, control mechanisms, and modulation procedures. The most important reason for making such modifications was to reduce the burden on the system by getting rid of part of the switching components, while at the same time enhancing the resolution of the output voltage. In this research, a multilevel inverter and its ability to generate an output voltage spectrum consisting of seventeen discrete levels is investigated. The multilevel inverter in question makes use of eight switching devices. This configuration generates very little harmonic distortion because to the application of a multi-carrier pulse width modulation technique.
