Abstract

Implementing voltage boost multilevel inverter topologies for PV and fuel cell energy sources is highly advantageous. Switched-capacitor multilevel inverters (SCMLI) have a step-up feature with low device requirements and can remove the need for high gain dc-dc converters leading to reduced overall system bulk. This work proposes a dual input SCMLI to achieve an output of nineteen levels while using a low number of components and high boosting factor and self-balancing of capacitor voltages. A comprehensive analysis of the proposed structure is presented, focusing on component requirements, cost and dynamic performance. The efficiency and loss distribution during operation is also provided. The operation and real-time performance of the SCMLI have been verified by simulation. Experimental results further validate the simulation results.
