Item Design of a New Single-Phase 15-Level Inverter with Minimized Components(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2023) Nageswar Rao, B.N.; Yellasiri, Y.; Shiva Naik, B.S.; Aditya, K.; Karunakaran, E.; Kumar, M.V.Multilevel inverters (MLI) provide a number of challenges, the most significant of which is the requirement for a high number of power semiconductors and separate dc supplies to assimilate renewable energy into a grid successfully. Because of this, reducing the number of components used in these kinds of inverters is quite important. Because transformer-based multilevel inverters (TBMIs) have become more commonplace, the use of many dc supplies in the cascaded inverter is no longer necessary for the device to function. Based on the outcomes of this study, a new transformer-based MLI with fifteen levels (15L) and eight switches can be built with only one dc source required. The suggested MLI consists of three isolated transformers. The suggested MLI structure has many unique benefits, including the use of fewer switching components and the availability of self-galvanic isolation. The MATLAB simulation results are carried out to evaluate the effectiveness of the suggested TBMLI. In addition, a comparison of the suggested structure to other recent configurations is presented. © 2023 IEEE.Item A Novel Quadruple Boost Inverter With New Optimized Fuzzy-Based Switching Scheme(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2024) Aditya, K.; Yellasiri, Y.; Shiva Naik, B.S.; Nageswar Rao, B.N.; Panda, A.K.This brief proposes a novel quadruple boost nine-level inverter (QB-NLI) and an optimized switching pattern using fuzzy logic controller. The suggested method simplifies the traditional approach by removing the conventional logic gate circuit design. The pulse signal generator and lookup table are both derived using a fuzzy logic pulse generator. Fuzzy logic controller (FLC) and Controlled membership functions (MFs) rules open numerous prospects for generating pulses based on the input as modulation index. The suggested technique is examined on the proposed QB-NLI topology using the selective harmonic elimination PWM method. MFs are created based on averaging Newton Rapson and quantizer firing angles for diverse modulation index (mi) values. The proposed QB-NLI structure comprises ten switches with one dc-voltage source and two capacitors. The proposed structure's circuit description, modes of operation, proper component selection, and a new fuzzy-based switching scheme are presented. Further, a discussion about the comparative analysis of the proposed switching technique with other switching techniques concerning THD and RMS voltages is presented. In addition to the simulation results, experimental tests are conducted under various load conditions on the built-in hardware prototype to evaluate the proposed QB-NLI structure and switching technique. © 2023 IEEE.
