Asymmetric DC source multilevel inverter
Hazwan Hanif Ishak1, Shahrin Md Ayob2.
An asymmetrical multilevel inverter with harmonic profile improvement and lower voltage stress is presented in
this paper. The multilevel inverter is a power electronic circuit that produces sinusoidal output voltage waveform from
several levels of dc input voltages, which reduces Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) and Total Harmonic Distortion
(THD). Four modules are connected in series together with its dc source is configured in asymmetrical configuration to
produce 31 output voltage levels. Asymmetrical Multilevel Inverter offers more advantages compared to the conventional
multilevel (symmetrical Multilevel Inverter) and the two-level inverters itself. This work focuses on the cascaded multilevel
inverter with it dc source configured in asymmetrical configuration. The proposed topology will be developed and simulated
in MATLAB/Simulink software package. For comparison purposes, normal two-level inverter also developed. The results
such as the output voltage, voltage stress across the power switch, the THD content have been analyzed and discussed.
