Abstract

Multilevel converters are a notable answer for different power applications, including sustainable power source transformation. 5- level active-neutral- point- clamped- converter (5L-ANPCC) is among the most favourable position topologies one of 5- level multilevel inverters. A novel 6-switch 5L-ANPCC (6S-5L-ANPCC) multilevel inverter is suggested, which can accomplish little cost since some high-speed recovery diodes are attempting to supplant the diode and dynamic switches. The wattless power operation is proposed by special modulation strategy. In this paper simulation is carried out in MATLAB/Simulink, the suggested model 6S-5L-ANPCC is best fit  for application where power factor unity is applicable such as solar cell.
