SIMULATION OF CASCADED H- BRIDGE MULTILEVEL INVERTER USING PD, POD, APOD TECHNIQUES

Multilevel inverter (MLI) can achieve medium voltage high power efficiency inverters in industrial application. It can generate stepped waveform by reducing harmonic distortion with increase in the number of voltage level; a full bridge is known as H-bridge inverter because it shows alphabet ‘H’. In this paper, Multicarrier PWM topologies and there Modulation schemes are discussed. Level Shifted [LS] Scheme is applied to the Cascade H-bridge multilevel inverter and the complete analysis of THD to 9 levels is done
