A Single DC Source Cascaded Seven-Level

Inverter Integrating Switched Capacitor
Techniques
Introduction:
Multilevel converters are finding considerable attention in
academia and industry as one of the preferred choices for high power
conversion applications, such as traction drives, active filters, reactive
power compensators, photovoltaic power conversion, uninterruptible
power supplies, static compensators and flexible AC transmission
systems. In general, multilevel converters are classified into diodeclamped, flying capacitor, and cascaded multilevel inverter
topologies. A particular attention has been given to cascaded
multilevel topology because of its modularity, symmetrical structure
and simplicity of control.

Existing system:
The modelling of dc-dc converters with switched capacitors. We
study several approaches that overcome the exposed modelling
difficulties, addressing ideal and noni deal cases and using dynamic
equations that are valid in a large-signal domain.

Drawbacks:

Large amount of separate isolated sources required to feed each

of the H-bridges.
Increases the complexity and cost of the system.

Proposed system:
A novel cascaded seven-level inverter topology with a single
input source integrating switched capacitor techniques is proposed.
The proposed topology consists of a charging circuit and three Hbridge inverter units. The reliable source port Uin2 can charge
capacitor C1 or C3 through the charging switch and H-bridge
switches simultaneously and individually. The charging circuit
contains only power switches and capacitors, so that the charging time
is independent of the load. The capacitor voltage can be controlled at
a desired level with transformerless charging technique and without
complex voltage control algorithm. The converter is used as a

traditional cascaded seven-level inverter with three independent

isolated sources. However, in the case PV ports powering off in the
night, all the separate PV sources are separated from the converter
and are replaced by. With the switched capacitor techniques, the
different H-bridges can share the input source; thus, the redundancy
of the topology is enhanced.

Advantages:

The output voltage has a switching pattern with 2N times the

switching frequency (where N is the number of cells). Hence,
better total harmonic distortion (THD) is obtained at the output,
using 2N times lower frequency carriers.
Since all the cells are controlled with the same reference and
same carrier frequency, the power is evenly distributed among
the cells across the entire modulation index.
For the single-supply CMI using capacitors, the advantage is
that the capacitors are properly charged without complex
voltage balancing control algorithm.
