Summary:This paper proposes a new switched-capacitor (SC) based multilevel inverter (MLI) with a boosting gain of four for electric vehicle (EV) applications. The proposed SC-based ninelevel quadruple boost inverter (SC-NLQBI) topology consists of 13 semiconductor switches, three capacitors, and a single input DC supply. It generates nine level voltage waveform, which lessens the requirement for extra filters. Compared to the current nine-level inverter, the new SC-NLQBI topology is simple, compact, and requires fewer parts. Here, a simple triangular carrier signal-based sinusoidal pulse width modulation (SPWM) method is used to generate the required gating pulses. While the proposed topology is being modeled in a MATLAB/Simulation platform using both normal and problematic conditions, the results are analyzed.
