Abstract

Due to their numerous advantages, multilevel inverters are commonly employed in high and medium-voltage applications. Six-Switch Five-Level Active Neutral Point Clamped Inverter (6S-5L-ANPC) associated with LC filter can produce pure sinusoidal voltage, the proposed modulation can satisfy the regulation of the flying capacitor voltage, the behavior of the 6S-5L-ANPC inverter is validated through simulation. a Sliding Mode Controller based on voltage control is proposed which is suitable for multilevel power converters as they are inherently variable structure systems, this controller has the advantage of robustness in the presence of load or parametric variations. In addition, the use of a low-pass filter to decrease oscillation (chattering) around the sliding surface caused by rapid changes in current and voltage of the load is presented. The controller is tested under high reference change and in a strong perturbation of the output current. The validity of this strategy is demonstrated using simulation results.
