Abstract
The paper presents comparison performances of Asymmetric Cascaded Multilevel Inverter (ACMLI) in the maximum voltage rating of power electronic devices, to find which the DC voltage progression that has the best performance. The performances have been investigated based upon in amplitude, Total Harmonic Distortions (THD), and frequency spectrum in the binary (order-2) DC voltage progression, trinary (order-3), equal interval and sine quantization. A single phase ACMLI in the five H-bridges structures simulated by Matlab has been used to verify these performances. The comparisons show that the performance of sine quantization DC voltage progression have highest output voltage, low total harmonics distortions, amplitude of DC voltage realistically and good frequency spectrum, making it possible to overcome the limitation of maximum voltage rating of power electronic devices.
