Use of multilevel inverters have been growing extensively to improve the power quality and efficiency of the photovoltaic (PV) system, For an MLI interfacing PV system, the size, cost and voltage stress are the key constraints of the MLI that need to be minimized. This project presents a novel reduced part count MLI interfacing single-stage grid-tied PV system along with a closed-loop control strategy. The proposed MLI consists of n repeating units and a level boosting circuit (LBC) that helps in generating 4n + 7 voltage levels instead of 2n + 3 levels. Three different algorithms are proposed for a proper selection of dc-link voltages to enhance the levels further. A comparative analysis is carried out to confirm the superiority of the developed MLI. The workability of the proposed MLI is investigated with a 1.3 kW PV system. The closed-loop control strategy ensures the maximum power tracking, dc-link voltage balancing, satisfactory operation of the MLI and injection of clean sinusoidal grid current under any dynamic changes. Comprehensive simulation analysis is carried out considering a 15-level MLI structure. Experimental tests further confirm the practicality of the topological advancement for a PV system under different dynamic conditions. Keyphrases: Inverter, Multilevel, distributed
