Which type of inverter is the biggest & smallest?

From Figure 13 we could see that current and phase voltage THD (total harmonic distortion) of the NPC inverter is the biggest, the T-type inverter is the middle one, and the proposed hybrid T-type is the smallest one.

What is a three-level inverter?

Three-level inverter has been widely used in the middle and high voltage large capacity AC speed regulating fields, since its output has higher power quality, lower harmonic contents, better electromagnetic compatibility, lower switching losses, and other advantages.

What is a multilevel inverter (MLI)?

Hence, multilevel inverter (MLI) designs have gained popularity for GCPV applications during the last decade. In addition to conventional topologies some new and different MLI topologies such as hybrid, RDC, T-type, active-NPC, asymmetric and modular MLI can also use for grid-integrated PV applications 14, 16, 17, 18.

Why does a 3L inverter have a Low THD?

Because it has three voltage levels, the 3L inverter has lower THD than the two-level inverter. However, the neutral point clamped inverter experiences a high current flow when the zero voltage is chosen, which may result in fluctuations in the upper and lower voltages of the capacitor.

Which ANPC inverter is based on a Si-based MOSFET?

The proposed three-level hybrid ANPC inverter topology is shown in Figure 1 a, in which T1 and T4 use SiC MOSFETs and the others use Si IGBTs. Other than the SiC and Si devices, the circuit configuration is exactly the same as a regular Si-based ANPC inverter.

How to produce a five-level inverter output voltage?

To produce a five-level inverter output voltage four triangular carrier signals with an equal phase shift of 90º are required. Due to symmetry of phases, the modulating scheme is shown only for single phase. For simplicity the gate signals for only upper switches of HBCs are shown as second switch in each leg is complementary in nature.
