A new 3-Phase Hybrid Matrix multilevel inverter

Abstract

This paper presents a new topology of 3-Phase Hybrid Matrix multilevel inverter with reduced number switches and electrical isolation. Each phase consists of two cascaded units; the first unit is used for level generation whereas the second one doubles the number of levels and provides electrical isolation and step up the voltage to required range. The proposed topology show significance in design, reduced components, simplicity compared to conventional topologies for more than five level productions. Therefore, in this paper, operation and switching control scheme for the proposed topology is presented for five level output. Moreover, the performance of the proposed model is analyzed in MATLAB-SIMULINK environment and their results are presented.
