Implementation of Cuk Converter in Cascaded Multilevel Inverter Using Space Vector Pulse with Modulation Technique

Abstract

This paper proposes seven level Space vector pulse width modulation (SVPWM) for a Boost-Buck Cascaded multilevel inverter. This topology requires lesser number of switches, which results in decreased complexity and total cost of the inverter. By applying SVPWM efficiency can be increased due to fundamental frequency switching. In addition to that output harmonic distortions are very much reduced. The numbers are remarkable at power rating and also suitable for the applications of higher temperature. The performance quality in terms of THD and switching losses of the Cascaded Multi level inverter is compared with conventional inverter with reduced number of switching topologies using SVPWM techniques. The circuits are modeled and simulated with help of MATLAB/SIMULINK.
