Abstract
The capacity of Multi Level Converters (MLCs) to effectively incorporate Renewable Energy Systems (RES) into the power grid has attracted a lot of interest in recent years. High power quality, dependability, and smooth integration with Internet of Things (IoT) systems are all desirable but difficult to achieve with their control algorithms. This research proposes a solution to these problems by fusing the benefits of MLCs with IoT technology. The proposed Space Vector Modulation (SVM) control technique improves the performance and monitoring of MLCs using data-sharing capabilities of IoT devices that leads to more precise control and easier defect identification. In addition, the IoT platform enables remote monitoring, control, and diagnostics, which improves RES's operability. The findings show that the SVM control method provided by the IoT improves dynamic responsiveness, decreases overall harmonic distortion, and boosts power efficiency.
