Abstract

This paper elucidates the realization of multicarrier pulse width modulation (MC-PWM) based 7-level Z-source cascaded H-bridge inverter. MC-PWM technique is developed to generate switching pulses for Z-source inverter; it leads to boost the inverter output voltage with help of shoot through mode of operation. The output of Z-source inverter is connected to 7-level cascaded H-bridge inverter. Cascaded H-bridge inverter system much suitable for AC load drive, high voltage and high power and industrial applications. This proposed system provides reduced total harmonic distortion, improved stepped output voltage and current, nearly sinusoidal output voltage and reduced voltage stress across the switching devices. The inductors and capacitors values are selected based on the boosting level of Z-source inverter. The simulation results of proposed 7-level Z-source cascaded H-bridge inverter with MC-PWM technique is verified using MATLAB/Simulink.

Abstract

A high step-up dc-dc converter based on a switched capacitor-coupled inductor (SC-CL) with voltage multiplier cells is proposed. It is composed of a SC-CL and a voltage multiplier module stacked on the load side. SC-CL produces the maximum output voltage with maximum voltage gain. These features make the projected converter suitable for renewable energy applications such as solar photovoltaic (PV). A low turn ratio of the coupled inductor is used for realizing the higher gain. It consists of a voltage boost unit SC-CL and a voltage multiplier module. In a DC micro-grid, PV energy is one of the utmost significant sources of power. Since the PV source voltage is very low, a very high voltage gain converter is required for a DC microgrid. Here, a step-up DC-DC converter topology with a very high voltage gain characteristic is proposed. The projected converter was simulated by MATLAB/Simulink to convert 30 V to 380 V.
