DESIGN AND IMPROVEMENT OF PHOTOVOLTAIC BASED INDUCTION MOTOR USING MULTILEVEL INVERTERS

Multilevel Inverters are power devices that convert direct current (DC) to alternating current (AC). The focus of this work lies in the study, simulation and implementation of cascaded H-bridge multilevel inverters, since they operate on the basis of multiple inputs.

Description
Summary:Multilevel Inverters are power devices that convert direct current (DC) to alternating current (AC). The focus of this work lies in the study, simulation and implementation of cascaded H-bridge multilevel inverters, since they operate on the basis of multiple inputs. Each DC input could be interchanged with a solar panel to achieve the photovoltaic setup of the system. Furthermore, tests on the solar irradiances around an area of interest were carried. Full analysis of two and three levels inverters are included as well. Matlab and Simulink software packages are used in the study and simulation. Resistive and Inductive loads are present in the design, illustrating the resistive-inductive property of the single-phase induction motor.
