This thesis proposed a hybrid multi-level inverters having 3 inverters in series with distinct dc link voltages to generate 13 voltage levels in order to reduce output voltage and current distortion and power switch stress and switching frequency. Therefore, EMI (Electro Magnetic Interference) can be alleviated due to lower switching frequency. The experiments are conducted to show the performance of the proposed hybrid multi-level inverters that in stand-alone system to reduce the voltage distortion significantly in load-variation, rectifier load, and phase-controlled load conditions; for the grid-tied system, the output current is closed to sinusoidal waveform and current ripple is reduced as well.
