Abstract
An 11 level boost active neutral point clamped (BANPC) inverter using four capacitors and a single DC voltage source to generate eleven voltage levels at load terminals with a voltage gain of 2.5. A minimum of switching elements are used. Gate pulses for the switches are generated using nearest level control pulse width modulation (NLC-PWM). The capacitors of the 11 level boost active neutral point clamped inverter are self-balancing.
