- Description
- This paper focuses on the total harmonic distortion (THD) analysis of a multi-level inverter (MLI) for fuel cell applications. Furthermore, a 50 kW 625 V proton exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) stack was employed for this analysis. The various modes of operation of the suggested inverter are presented accordingly, along with its switching combinations. Also, a sinusoidal pulse-width modulation (SPWM) controller was employed to drive the power electronic switches in the suggested topology. The suggested inverter can produce sinusoidal voltage with only fundamental frequency switching. Moreover, the number of components and voltage stress of the suggested topology are compared with the conventional topologies presented. In addition, the THD was analyzed with and without the LC filter. Finally, the validity of the system was verified through MATLAB/Simulink software R2022b. 2023 by the authors.
