PHOTOVOLTAIC-FED MULTILEVEL INVERTER
The quality of power is most significant in the field of the power system. Many techniques are used for improving the same. In this article, the quality of the Power and THD values for different switching pulses are to be analyzed. Here, the existing system comprises a Solar Photovoltaic array, boost converter, Multilevel inverter with normal switching pulse, and RLC Load. The proposed system comprises a solar photovoltaic array fed multilevel inverter with Pseudorandom Binary Switching (PRBS) pulse, buck-boost converter, and three-phase induction motor. The Pseudo-Random Binary Sequence generator consists of shift register and logic gates...
