Objective

Objective: The main objective of this project is to design a 9 level switched capacitor inverter for better performance in Grid connected Photovoltaic systems.

Abstract

Abstract: This paper introduces a novel switched-capacitor based 9-level inverter topology to meet IEEE standards for low total harmonic distortion (THD) in grid-connected inverters. The new design addresses the trade-off between increasing output voltage levels to reduce harmonics and the consequent rise in device count. The proposed topology is streamlined, consisting of 12 switches, 3 capacitors, 2 diodes, and a single DC source. Comparative analysis with similar topologies confirms the advantages of the new design. The topology is validated through its application in a single-stage, three-phase photovoltaic system connected to the grid. Simulations are conducted using MATLAB/Simulink to test the system’s performance. This was implemented in Matlab Software.
