“…The cascade inverter topology has been main area of research for the shunt compensator applications in the transmission system [7]- [12]. In the shunt compensator applications, a transformer is necessary to connect the cascade inverter structure to the transmission or distribution systems, once a single dc-link capacitor is used for all the three phases [9]. For distribution systems, the transformer may not be required in some cases as the multilevel inverter itself may be capable of achieving the desired voltage level.…”

-This paper presents a new DC/AC multilevel converter. This configuration uses single DC sources. The proposed converter has two stages. The first stage is a DC/DC converter that can produce several DC-links in the output. The DC/DC converter is one type of boost converter and uses single inductor. The second stage is a multilevel inverter with several capacitor links. In this paper, one single input multi output DC-DC converter is used in order to voltage balancing on multilevel converter. In addition, as compare to traditional multilevel inverter, presented DC/AC multilevel converter has less on-state voltage drop and conduction losses. Finally, in order to verify the theoretical issues, simulation and experimental results are presented.

“…However, the cascaded H-bridge type multilevel inverter has a disadvantage that the independent DC-link voltage needs to be provided by each H-bridge separately. To reduce the number of independent DC sources, methods were introduced in recent years [15].…”

-In this paper a novel cascaded transformer multilevel inverter is proposed. Each basic unit of the inverter includes two DC sources, single phase transformers and semiconductor switches. This inverter, which operates as symmetric and asymmetric, can output more number of voltage levels in the same number of the switching devices. Besides, the number of gate driving circuits is reduced, which leads to circuit size reduction and lower power consumption in the driving circuits. Moreover, several methods to determination of transformers turn ratio in proposed inverter are presented. Theoretical analysis, simulation results using MATLAB/SIMULINK and experimental results are provided to verify the operation of the suggested inverter.
