Abstract :
This paper mainly concentrates on a new compilation of smart grid technology using multilevel inverter with space vector modulation techniques. In this paper we have connected wind turbine, PV cell, Pico generator set so that the Electrical Energy is generated and it is connected to the Grid using multilevel Topologies. Multilevel converters have been mainly used in medium or high power system applications, such as static reactive power compensation and adjustable-speed drives. In these applications, due to the limitations of the currently available power semiconductor technology, a multilevel concept is usually a unique alternative because it is based on low-frequency switching and provides voltage or current sharing between the power semiconductors. On the other hand, for a low-power systems (<;10 kW), multilevel converters have been competing with high-frequency space vector pulse width-modulation converters in applications where high efficiency is one of the major importance. Moreover, lower prices of power switches in the new semiconductor technologies, as well as the current demand on high-performance inverters required by Renewable Energy Systems (RES), have extended the applications of multilevel converters.
