Abstract: There are many limitations in extracting power from renewable energy
resources. To minimize the power demand and scarcity we have to improve the
power extracting methods. Multilevel inverter is used to extract power from solar
cells. It synthesizes the desired ac output waveform from several dc sources. This
paper focuses on improving the efficiency of the multilevel inverter and quality of
output voltage waveform. Seven level reduced switches topology has been
implemented with only seven switches. Fundamental Switching scheme and
Selective Harmonics Elimination were implemented to reduce the Total Harmonics
Distortion (THD) value. Selective Harmonics Elimination Stepped Waveform
(SHESW) method is implemented to eliminate the lower order harmonics.
Fundamental switching scheme is used to control the power electronics switches in
the inverter. The proposed topology is suitable for any number of levels. The
harmonic reduction is achieved by selecting appropriate switching angles. It shows
hope to reduce initial cost and complexity hence it is apt for industrial applications.
In this paper third and fifth level harmonics have been eliminated. Simulation work
is done using the MATLAB software and experimental results have been presented
to validate the theory. Keywords: Multilevel Inverter, MATLAB, THD, Fundamental

applications in electric utility and for industrial drives. When these inverters are
used for industrial drive directly, the THD contents in output voltage of inverters is
very significant index as the performance of drive depends very much on the quality
of voltage applied to drive. In this article, the THD contents of 7, 11 and 15 level
cascade multilevel inverters have been analysed. The THD depends on the
switching angles for different units of multilevel inverters, therefore, the switching
angles are calculated first by using N-R method where certain number of harmonic
components has been eliminated. Using calculated switching angles, THD analysis
is carried out analytically as well as using MATLAB simulation (both results are in
close agreement). As per IEEE-519 standard, the output voltage produced should
satisfy the limit on THD. It has been found that the fifteen level CMLI satisfies this
limit while seven and eleven level CMLI violates this limit. Keywords Cascade
