multilevel inverter. The aim of the study is to investigate the performance
and features of transformer and transformer-less multilevel inverters.
In order to generate sinusoidal wave with minimum THD, harmonic elimination
method has been used to calculate conducting angle of each H-bridge. This
generates the output waveform with certain voltage and low THD. PIC microcontroller
has been used to generate the signals required to operate the system.
The proposed circuit was simulated using Pspice/Orcad and the results
were compared with the hardware experimental results and a good agreement
has been found between simulation and laboratory results.]]>Corzine, K. and Y. Familiant,200217125131Peng, F.Z., J.W. McKeever and D.J. Adams,19983412931298Lai, J.S. and Z.P.
