MULTILEVEL INVERTER WITH REDUCED SWITCHES FOR ELECTRICAL VEHICLE

This project focuses on the development of an innovative multilevel inverter designed specifically for electric vehicles (EVs), aiming to reduce complexity and enhance efficiency by minimizing the number of switches in the inverter topology. The conventional multilevel inverter configurations often involve a high count of switches, leading to increased costs, intricate designs, and elevated power losses. In contrast, our approach seeks to optimize the inverter’s performance by employing advanced control strategies and modulation techniques while significantly reducing the number of switches. This reduction not only simplifies the design but also lowers production costs and maintenance efforts. Moreover, the project emphasizes the compact integration of the inverter into the EV powertrain, addressing the size and weight constraints of electric vehicles. Through thorough simulations and practical experiments, the proposed multilevel inverter’s performance will be evaluated in terms of efficiency, power quality, and reliability. The anticipated outcomes aim to contribute to the advancement of power electronics for sustainable transportation, providing a more efficient, cost-effective, and compact solution tailored to the unique requirements of electric mobility. This research has the potential to significantly impact the field, fostering further innovations in power electronics for clean and efficient transportation solutions .
