Analysis of single-phase cascaded H-bridge multilevel inverters under variable power conditions

Abstract

Easy modular I action is one of the benefits of a cascaded H-bridge (CHB) inverter. This study proposes an only one multilevel inverter comes with a unique H-bridge unit. The structure of the proposed topology is then enhanced in order to make use of switching devices and DC-link voltage inputs while creating a massive number of voltage steps. A cooperative active and reactive power control strategy is offered to earn a better real and reactive power management for every DC voltage source of a photovoltaic (PV) module, as well as boost systems power quality and reliability. A unique control approach and proportional pulse width modulation (PWM) modulation are described for the cascaded H-bridge multilevel inverters for grid-connected systems. Each Hbridge module can give different power levels thanks to this control. To supply the DC source, use the system's proportional, integral and derivative (PID) controller. The functionality and achievements of the proposed scheme with its associated algorithms in production of all operating voltage have been proven using experimental data from a nine-level single-phase inverter. Finally, to construct a cascaded H-bridge nine-level inverter, the proposed control strategy is developed and implemented in MATLAB software.
