Aimed at the problems of complex topologies, high total standing voltage of switches, and unbalanced series capacitor voltages in the existing multilevel inverters, a novel seven-level inverter based on switched-capacitor is proposed. By adopting the phase disposition pulse width modulation strategy, three capacitors are reasonably controlled in series/parallel with the DC source, so that the seven-level output with a triple boost gain is realized. The proposed inverter uses only one single DC source, so it has advantages such as a simple structure, fewer components, high boost gain and self-balanced capacitor voltage. In addition, it does not use the H-bridge to change the polarities of output levels, thus reducing the total standing voltage of switching devices. The topology, working principle, capacitor voltage self-balance, modulation strategy, capacitor parameter and current stress are analyzed, and five aspects including the numbers of switches, diodes and capacitors, the total standing voltage and the boost gain are compared with those of the existing topologies, which fully proves the practicality of the proposed topology. Finally, the feasibility of this topology was verified by experimental results.
