Harmonics Analysis Of Thirteen-Level Inverter
A. Cascaded H-Bridges across A and O is Vdc so we have VMO = Vdc. The clamping
A separate H-bridge inverter is supplied by two DC sources diode D’1 maintain the equal voltage sharing between the non
may be current or voltage source as shown in fig.1. Each conducting switches and voltage of capacitor C1 is blocked by
H-bridge inverter consists of four switches. By operation with T1’ and that of C2 is by T2’. Actually the voltage across VAM is
different combination of switches we can achieve at least 3 the output AC voltage and VAO is the input DC voltage. The
different voltage levels AC output. difference of two voltages VAM and VMO is available across C2
as Vdc/2. So we can say the proposed converter is actually
acting as a DC-DC converter, converting output voltage at 3
different level: Vdc, Vdc/2, and 0 which is obtained by
removing the output between A and O.
C. Multilevel Inverter Capacitor Clamped type
In terms of design this type of inverter matches with a diode
clamped type inverter. But dissimilar from diode clamped
inverter in terms of capacitors that we are using here at the
places of diodes for clamping purpose. In this inverter only
combination of two switches are used to gain output voltage at
different level. It’s very complex to chase output voltages at
all of them, so we have charge each capacitors before putting
the converter in operation.

For a three-phase system, the output voltages of the three
cascaded inverters can be connected in either star- or –delta
configuration.
