A multilevel inverter for renewables with fuzzy logic-based control

In this paper the authors present a multilevel inverter controlled by fuzzy logic. This system is particularly interesting when a number of distinct renewable energy dc sources, such as photovoltaic systems or fuel cells are available. After a description of the general system architecture and its controller, system performance are evaluated by means of simulations.
