Abstract
Multilevel inverters become more popular and attracted many in research and industrial applications. The MLI's were widely chosen for their higher and medium power/ voltage applications which were very helpful for interfacing non-conventional energy sources. Also for the past decade the research under development of reduced switch MLI topologies rapidly increased by making appropriate combination of switch connections. It will provide multi-level outputs with less harmonic distortions. Due to this, reduced switch MLI is most popularly used for power converter topologies. The various traditional multi-level inverter topologies and hybrid MLI schemes which are applied for non-conventional energy sources are discussed in this research paper and also it includes distinct modulation schemes to increase the performance of MLI.
