Abstract

This work presents a power converter prepared to easy modify its electrical connections in order to obtain all configurations possibilities of the cascaded multilevel power converter with four H-bridges. Allows to implement both sub-topologies: single CD source and separate DC source, with symmetrical and asymmetrical configurations until 81 voltage levels. All the modifications can be performed using a graphical user interface develop in Matlab®. The modulations are optimized using a genetic algorithm and the system control is a FPGA. The power converter was developed mainly to performing power quality analysis.
