Introduction
DC-AC inverters have become the key component of the
power system network in last few years. With the increase in
number of DC-AC inverters in power system, better operation
of inverters has been emerged as priority for power system
engineers. The operation of these inverters are controlled by
gate signals and thus the output, harmonic, efficiency and
other factors can be controlled by controlling gate signal.
A proper switching strategy can give an efficient and better
control over output of DC-AC inverters. Several factors of
AC-DC inverter operation that must be taken care while
developing the switching strategy are as follows [1]-[3] .
1) Output RMS voltage and current.
2) Output peak voltage and current
3) Total harmonic distortion (THD).
4) Switching losses.
5) Practical implementation.
In Past decade several switching strategies have been
developed to tackle the issue. Square pulse switching, pulse
width modulation (PWM), random PWM (RPWM), selected
harmonic elimination (SHE), delta modulation, hysteresis &
variable band, optimal PWM etc. are the few well known
switching techniques.

MODELLING AND
SIMULATION
Simulation has been performed using SIMULINK facility
of MATLAB R2011b, on the 1-ph 4-pulse H-bridge voltage
source DC-AC inverter. The SIMULINK model of the circuit
is shown in fig.4. The wavelet modulation has been
implemented using S-function block of SIMULINK [11].
Programming of S-function is done using C language. The
inverter is based on 4 switch topology using the IGBT as the
switch and controlled by gate signals.
The all four IGBT switches operate according to the gate
pulses provided to them. When IGBT.1 and IGBT.2 both are
conducting then they generates positive cycle across the load
and similarly negative cycle gets generated by operating
IGBT.3 and IGBT.4.
