Abstract

With the promising growth of micro grids andHEVs, the final power quality delivered by an inverter and longevity of the input DC voltage sources has become a subject matter of concern. The conventional multilevel inverter topologies give AC voltages with higher Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) leading to a lower power quality. Also, the unequal usage of the input DC sources leads to a poor Power Source Utilization Factor (PSUF). This paper presents the 3 phase H-Bridge inverter topology with improved line to line power quality features. The proposition of improving Power Source Utilization Factor (PSUF) is achieved by incorporating a novel transposition technique. A comparative study is made to decide the wave shape and minimize the harmonics. The theoretical simulation results and the hardware results for the gate pulses are shown.
