This paper discusses the difference between the three fundamental types of multilevel inverter (MLI) topologies, which are the neutral-point-clamped, the flying capacitors and the cascaded H-bridges. The sinusoidal pulse width modulation technique was used to simulate the output voltages and currents of the MLI inverters. The total harmonic distortion (THD) was estimated for each topology and each voltage level. Moreover, the simulation results indicate that the cascaded structure exhibited a lower THD value even when increasing the number of the output voltage. Furthermore, a new key parameter was defined as cost efficiency factor and used to compare the three topologies. Evaluation results of this factor indicate that the cascaded structure was the most advantages as it reduces stress effect on the inverter switches by eliminating the power diodes and capacitors.

Comparative Analysis of Three Topologies of Three-Phase Five Level Inverter
This paper presents the simulation and analysis of the three topologies of three phase 5-level inverter. We have considered the Flying Capacitor Multilevel Inverter (FCMLI), the Neutral Point Clamped or the Diode Clamped Multilevel Inverter (NPCMLI or DCMLI) and the Cascaded H-Bridge Multilevel Inverter (H-bridge MLI). The comparison between these inverters is based on the %THD present in the output voltage. Each inverter is controlled by the multi-carrier sinusoidal pulse width modulation (SPWM). The analysis shows that the total harmonic distortion (THD) is approximately 23% for DCMLI and 22% for PWM H-Bridge topologies, and it is about 24% for the FCMLI topology. The comparative results of the harmonic analysis have been obtained in MATLAB/SIMULINK.
Multilevel inverter is an effective and practical solution for increasing power demand and reducing harmonics of AC waveforms. Such inverters synthesize a desired output voltage from several levels of dc voltages as inputs.

It has been found that this technique reduces the switching losses and total harmonic distortion. The topology used in this technique reduces the number of power switches when compared to the conventional cascaded Hbridge multilevel inverter. The performance has been analyzed by the MATLAB/Simulink. The output shows better performance results.

I.INTRODUCTION The use of renewable energy sources is increasing to supply the increasing demand of electricity due to urbanisation. Solar energy produces dc power which needs to be converted into ac for further applications. Conversion of dc power to ac is done using cascaded H bridge multilevel inverter with less THD. The high power cascaded H bridge multilevel inverter should be analysed with respect to its output active power, reactive power and THD in output voltage. This study will help the design engineer in selecting the appropriate multilevel inverter for required application. Multilevel inverters are classified as current source inverter and voltage source inverter. In case of multilevel current source inverter, it was observed that if there is short circuit in the circuit, the fault current will be very high further damaging the other equipment's connected in the circuit. Therefore multilevel voltage source inverters are more commonly used [3].Multilevel voltage source inverters are classified into three main categories as (i) cascaded H-bridge multilevel inverter, (ii) Neutral point clamped multilevel inverter and (iii) Flying capacitor multilevel inverter. Cascaded H bridge multilevel inverter is more commonly used because it gives high output voltage, reliability, power levels and simplicity of control.

The conventional two level inverter has many limitations for high voltage and high power application. Multilevel inverter becomes very popular for high voltage and high power application. The multilevel began with the three level converters. The elementary concept of a multilevel converter to achieve higher power to use a series of power semiconductor switches with several lower voltage dc source to perform the power conversion by synthesizing a staircase voltage waveform. However, the output voltage is smoother with a three level converter, in which the output voltage has three possible values. This results in smaller harmonics, but on the other hand it has more components and is more complex to control. In this paper, study of different three level inverter topologies and SPWM technique is explain and SPWM technique has been applied to formulate the switching pattern for three level and five level H-Bridge inverter that minimize the harmonic distortion at the inverter output. This paper deals with comparison of simulation results of three level and five level H-Bridge inverter and implementation of single leg of three level H-Bridge inverter.
