| description | Energy generation through wind and solar is increasing with the rising interest in the renewable and clean form of energy. Due to energy crises, the world is shifting from nonrenewable energy resources to renewable energy resources. Renewable energy resources are the green and eco-friendly sources and do not affect the climate like the other fossil fuels. Renewable fuels gain popularity due to their sustainability and low carbon emission. To get energy from renewable energy sources, well-defined mechanisms and control devices must be needed. Therefore, the reliability and stability of the system are required. The inverter is one of the tools which have a significant contribution to controlling the operation of the energy conversion system. The inverter is an accessory that changes a Direct Current (DC) source into an Alternative (AC) source. By using that AC source, we can easily derive AC appliances and drive the loads. To gain more power or to derive large power motors whose power ratings are up to several kilo/Megawatts, we need multi-level inverters. One of the types of multi-level inverters is the Neutral Point Clamped inverter (NPC). NPC inverters are used where considerable power is required, such as of several megawatts. The main contribution of this research paper is to design the three levels of neutral point clamped inverters by using the Pulse width Modulation (PWM) and Space Vector Modulation (SVM) Techniques. |
