ABSTRACT
This Paper presents a 15 level Asymmetrical Cascaded H bridge multilevel
inverter Topology for Photovoltaic system. In this system Symmetrical and
Asymmetrical Multilevel inverter (MLI) is utilized. In Symmetrical MLI, the DC
source magnitude are equal ie., 50Vdc, 50Vdc & 50Vdc., where as in Asymmetrical
MLI the DC source Magnitude are unequal and it is designed with binary form of
voltage such as 50Vdc, 100Vdc & 200Vdc.Comparing both the MLI ,
Asymmetrical MLI generates a number of output voltage level with same number of
Power semiconductor switches. The phase Disposition Pulse Width Modulation
(PD-PWM) technique is used for controlling the Power semiconductor switches in
MLI. The results are verified in both MATLAB and PROTEUS.

CONCLUSION
A
symmetrical Cascaded H bridge Multil level inverter(SCHBMLI) and Asymmetrical
Cascaded H bridge Multilevel Inverer(ASCHBMLI) has been analysed in this paper.
Both the Inverter consist of the same power semiconductor switches but the
output voltage levels are different. In SCHBMLI the ouput voltage is 9 level ,
while ASCHBMLI the ouput voltage levels are 15 level. The THD analysis for
ACHBMLI using the switching technique of high switching frequency (2KHz) PD-PWM
is 6.03% and the switching technique of low switching frequency(50Hz) is 10.26%.
In this system the THD is very less by using PDPWM technique.This type of
system is used for high power applications for photovoltaic system bec it
reduce the overall cost and size of the system
