Analysis of Solar Integrated Multilevel Inverter for Smart Grid Power Filters

Present energy trends reveal that the energy demands are growing at faster rate. Increased demands due to growing population. Thus, comes into action the need of hour i.e. uses of several forms of renewable energy. These days the recent trend is to focus on sustainable ecofriendly development. Outcome is to increased load demands and rapidly declining conventional sources like fossil fuels including coal, natural gas and petroleum, there comes the alarming need of introducing interest in development of sources that can be refreshed including sun, wind power and many more. Among these the major development and scope lies in the field of using photovoltaic in multilevel inverters to obtain voltages at various levels as compare to the conventional traditional inverter. This paper provides an overview of technical, economic and policy aspects of multilevel inverters with various topologies. This paper also provides an overview of the recent trends in the arena of power quality including the present scenario, available sources and potential, ongoing projects are designed for a better and efficient output with reduced harmonics
