A Symmetric Multi-Level Cascaded H-Bridge Inverter for Renewable Energy Integration

Abstract

The advanced multi-level cascaded H-Bridge inverter system described in this paper is novel and intended for effective integration of renewable energy sources. Phase-displacement pulse width modulation (PD-PWM) control has been employed in the proposed five-level topology to produce output voltage with better quality. The system incorporates proficient filtering methods with a low total harmonic distortion (THD) desired outcome. With a stable output of 230 V at 50 Hz and a 2.3 kW capacity, the inverter system has been satisfied the exacting IEEE 519 standards for power quality. The MATLAB/Simulink is implemented to simulate and model the entire system, exhibiting its superior performance in terms of harmonic reduction and grid compliance. The innovative design offers a dependable respond to for integrating renewable energy, ensuring smooth and high-quality power injection into the grid.
