Control of cascade multilevel inverter using fuzzy logic technique

A cascade multilevel inverter is a power electronic device built to synthesize a desired ac voltage from several levels of dc voltages. Such inverters have been received increasing attention in the past few years for high power application. A small total harmonic distortion is the most important feature of these inverters. Cascade multilevel inverter is used in this work with proposed control circuit to control the output voltage using sinusoidal pulse width modulation (SPWM). PD-like Fuzzy+I controller is used to control this system to get the required output voltage. The results gained in this work prove the validity of the proposed controller of having an output voltage with minimum distortion.
