Lecture 19: Inverters, Part 3
So converters built with this kind of structure are called "3 level inverters", a subclass of "Multilevel inverters". This is sometimes called a "3 level wave-form" as each of V01, V02 can take on 3

As multilevel inverters reach medium voltage applications, they reduce switching frequencies and voltage stress for higher efficiency and increase the number of voltage levels
If the regenerative energy generated in deceleration or descent in an application is too large, the main circuit voltage in the inverter may increase, which results in damage to the inverter.
Each inverter comes with a voltage range that allows it to track the maximum power of the PV array. It is recommended to match that range when selecting the inverter and the PV array
Choosing between a two-level and a three-level inverter depends on the specific requirements of the application, including cost, efficiency, power quality, and complexity.
V OH and V OL represent the "high" and "low" output voltages of the inverter V = output voltage when OH Vin = ''0'' (V Output High) V = output voltage when OL Vin = ''1'' (V Output Low)
Choosing the optimal inverter voltage depends on various factors, including the inverter''s design, the power requirements of connected devices, and the available power source.

To set the voltage at which the inverter restarts after low voltage shut-down. - To prevent rapid fluctuation between shut-down and start up, it is recommended that this value be set at least
This value is the minimum DC voltage required for the inverter to turn on and begin operation. This is particularly important for solar applications because the solar module or modules must

In the case of a 3-level inverter, the voltage level is generally ±E/6. This means that the transition level of the common-mode voltage in a 3-level inverter is typically one-half of that in the 2-level inverter. In a 3-level inverter, the amplitude of the common-mode voltage can be lower than a 2-level inverter in the high voltage region.
Voltage Levels Two-Level Inverter: This type of inverter has two voltage levels at the output. Typically, these are +Vdc (positive DC supply voltage) and -Vdc (negative DC supply voltage). This allows the inverter to switch the output between these two levels to create a stepped approximation of a sine wave.
Aside from the operating voltage range, another main parameter is the start-up voltage. It is the lowest acceptable voltage that is needed for the inverter to kick on. Each inverter has a minimum input voltage value that cannot trigger the inverter to operate if the PV voltage is lower than what is listed in the specification sheet.
In 2-level voltage source inverters, there are eight different switching states for the six inverter-switches, and the voltages across the output terminals and the DC bus mid-point (VU-M, VV-M, and VW-M) can be either +E/2 or -E/2 according to the inverter switching states.
