A STEP-UP SWITCHED-CAPACITOR MULTILEVEL INVERTER WITH SELF VOLTAGE BALANCING

  • The objective of this article is to propose a new inverter topology for multilevel voltage output. 
  • This topology is designed based on switched-capacitor technique and the number of output levels is determined by the number of switched-capacitor cells.
  • Only one dc voltage source is needed and the problem of capacitor voltage balancing is avoided as well. 



  • This structure is not only very simple and easy to be extended to higher level, its gate driver circuits are also simplified because the number of active switches is reduced. 
  • Operational principle of this inverter and the targeted modulation strategies are presented, and power losses are investigated as well.
