Seven-Level Inverter Integrating Switched Capacitor

Seven-Level Inverter Integrating Switched Capacitor technquie

The proposed topology replaces all the separate dc sources with capacitors, leaving only one H-bridge cell with a real dc voltage source and only adds two charging switches. The capacitor charging circuit contains only power switches, so that the capacitor charging time is independent of the load. The capacitor voltage can be controlled at a desired level without complex voltage control algorithm and only use the most common carrier phase-shifted sinusoidal pulse width modulation (CPS-SPWM) strategy.
