The modulation technique we have used is sinusoidal pulse width modulation because it helps in reducing the unwanted harmonics. A single phase cascaded H-bridge multilevel inverter model is presented in this study and performance of this inverter is investigated through various simulation studies using MATLAB/Simulink. The simulation result shows the effective control to obtain minimum THD performance. Potential drawbacks of conventional inverters are eliminated here. ER -
