Abstract

Multi-level inverters (MLIs) have become a crucial component in modern power electronics, particularly in electric vehicle (EV) applications. Compared to conventional two-level inverters, these advanced inverters offer superior performance by delivering output waveforms with multiple voltage levels, reduced total harmonic distortion (THD), and enhanced power quality. The reduction in THD leads to decreased electromagnetic interference (EMI), lower losses, and improved efficiency, making MLIs the preferred choice for EV powertrains. This research introduces an innovative 7-level inverter topology to minimize component count while maximizing efficiency and reliability. Traditional MLI configurations, such as cascaded H-bridge, diode-clamped, and flying capacitor topologies, often suffer from significant switching losses, many switches, and increased complexity.
