Analysis and implementation of multicarrier modulation techniques for Marx multilevel inverter

Several control strategies have been proposed for diode clamped and flying capacitor multilevel inverters topologies which have their advantages. The observation for multicarrier modulation is quite similar for the above mentioned topologies, where as phase disposition technique has a superior line-to-line harmonic performance over alternative phase opposition disposition and phase opposition disposition techniques. Marx multilevel inverter derived from the Marx generator topology with the features of voltage balancing and boosting capability may find various applications in the field of renewable applications. This paper analyzes and propose the most suitable control strategy for the aforementioned topology. The detailed mathematical analysis and simulation results for various control algorithms for Marx inverter are presented in the paper.
