Abstract

Multilevel converters are the attractive solution for medium and high-power applications, especially for the renewable energy conversion. Developing high voltage rating converters of more than 6.6kV is a key goal for solar energy based industries. The maximum power capacity of the photovoltaic plants has highly increased over the past few years and it is expected to continue its growth over the next decade due to the increasing demand of renewable energy and distributed generation systems. This paper presents a sevenlevel active neutral point clamped (ANPC) inverter for the minimization of total harmonic distortion of voltage. The seven level active neutral point clamped converter is simulated using MATLAB software.
