Abstract
This paper deals with the comparative study of two-level inverter and three level inverter (Multilevel Converter) topologies. The multilevel term defines more than two level whose performance is better than the two-level inverter because of lesser harmonics, electromagnetic interference and higher dc link voltages. In this paper, three levels Diode Clamped Multilevel inverter with PWM technique is recommended to improve the performance of inverter. This topology requires fewer apparatuses and therefore the cost and complexity is lesser as compared to other topologies of multilevel inverter.
