Simulation of 11 Level Hybrid Cascade-Stack (HCS) Inverter with Reduced Number of Switches

Abstract

This paper presents a new multilevel topology based on cascaded hybrid multi-level (HCS) inverter. There are different topologies for cascaded inverters for reducing the switches, power loss. The output voltage is increased and the number of switches is reduced with the HCS inverter. Due to this reduction in number of on-state switches, power loss and voltage drop is reduced. Simulation results for 11 level symmetric form of converter is described.
