Design and Development of Multi-Level Inverter Suitable for Solar Photovoltaic System

The penetration of renewable energy resources into the energy sector is gradually increasing. The major goal of the proposed work is to eliminate harmonic distortion and power quality problems in the solar PV system by designing, developing, and testing an 11-level multilevel inverter with contemporary power electronic switches. The issue of power quality has been a popular area of study in recent years as a result of the increasing use of power electronics converters to process power in various facets of our lives. To achieve adequate efficiency, the voltage level is raised in proportion to the power level. The multilayer power converter is becoming more and more common. Multilevel converter topologies have two main benefits: they reduce electromagnetic interference by having minimal deformation in output waveforms and restricted voltage load on the switching electronics. This work presents results based on both simulation studies as well as measurements on developed hardware set-up.
