Abstract

This investigation evaluates the functionality of a simplified multilevel converter for off-grid solar systems, with the objective of delivering a dependable and efficient DC-AC power conversion with a reduced level of circuit complexity. The converter that is recommended utilizes a switch methodology that is more efficient and utilizes fewer components to enhance voltage levels while simultaneously decreasing total harmonic distortion (THD) and switching losses. The system's efficiency, voltage gain, and output waveform quality are evaluated in various solar irradiation and load scenarios. The converter is suitable for independent and remote solar applications, as it generates high-quality power and functions consistently and efficiently without the need for large transformers, as indicated by the simulation findings. The research suggests that the simplified multilevel converter is a cost-effective and efficient alternative for the generation of sustainable off-grid power.
