Abstract: This paper proposes a single-phase fifteen-level inverter using seven switches, with a novel pulse width-modulated control method. The Proposed multilevel inverter output voltage level rising by using less number of switches driven by the multicarrier modulation techniques. The inverter is capable of producing fifteen levels of output-voltage from the dc supply voltage. The proposed system was verified through simulation and implemented in a prototype.
Keywords: Multilevel Inverter, Harmonics, Switching Loss.
