A Dual Multilevel Adaptive Converter for Microgrid Applications

This article introduces a double multilevel converter with adjustable output voltage levels for microgrid applications. These converters can be easily upgraded to lower or higher levels. This will make it possible to reduce some harmonics, also power losses and voltage stress. In this study, a multilevel inverter is powered by a multi-level DCDC boost converter. The simulation and experimental results are presented in this paper to validate the developed approaches and methodologies.
