Abstract: Evaluating a grid-tied photovoltaic system performance using DCML inverter and MMC is presented here. The generated output from the PV system is given to the boost converter, and the INCMPPT tracked output is converted to ac with the help of two different methods and connected to the grid. Constant current control technique is used in both the cases for generating the triggering pulses for the inverter. MMC’s are having many advantages when compared with the DCML inverter. Both the systems are designed in MATLAB for checking the performance of a 3 level inverter. As per the simulation studies, we can say that a 3 level inverter with MMC is giving less THD when compared with the diode clamped system.
