Abstract
The concept of multilevel inverter arrived from the conventional two-level inverter. Two-level inverter is not suitable for the high-power, medium-voltage, and high-voltage industrial and commercial application. Multilevel inverters fulfill the above requirement. Control of multilevel inverter is done by adjusting the time average of their voltage levels. Generally, this is performed by pulse-width modulation (PWM) techniques. Output performance in terms of the power quality, common mode voltage, etc., greatly depends on the types of the modulation schemes applied. The aim of this paper is to present the different carrier-based modulation schemes that are available in the literature for five-level inverter. The detailed mathematical analysis of modulation techniques is presented to better understand the five-level inverter.
