Hybrid Switched-Capacitor 9-Level Boost Inverter

摘要

This paper suggests a Hybrid Switched-Capacitor 9-Level Boost Inverter (HSC9LBI) topology that provides quadruple voltage-gain. Capability of feeding zero or low power-factor load types as well as natural voltage balancing of capacitors are other merits of suggested HSC9LBI. Two half-bridges are utilized to create bipolar voltage-waveform. The suggested HSC9LBI requires single DC source, which results in compact size. Different operational modes have been elaborated. The comparison and simulations results have been presented to verify superiority and suitable functionality of suggested configuration.
