For the control of this inverter, hybrid control strategy is used. The proposed modular multilevel inverter uses asymmetrical dc sources and reduced number of switches topology.

The hybrid modulation algorithm is implemented with “NUC140” micro-controller. In comparison with the conventional and some of the recently reported inverter topologies, the proposed inverter topology is able to generate high number of voltage levels in the output by using minimum number of components such as dc sources, power switches and driver circuits. This inverter offers significant performance with less number of components. The feasibility of the proposed topology is confirmed by simulation and experimental results.展开更多
