A new design of active NPC converter topology with higher voltage gain for solar PV applications

In the low voltage applications, the high gain multilevel inverters has seen more visibility due to the improved harmonic profile with multilevel voltage as well as boosting feature. A boost active neutral point clamped (ANPC) multilevel inverter (MLI) configuration with reduced resource count has b...
