Power quality investigation of CHB nine‐level converter based large‐scale solar PV system with different modulation schemes

Abstract Multilevel converters (MLCs) are extensively used in solar photovoltaic (SPV) applications owing to their advantages such as low total harmonic distortion (THD) in the converter voltage, reduction in device stress, and switching losses. A suitable modulation technique is important for the e...
