Abstract In order to improve the problems of the large number of active components and the complex expansion structure of the traditional multilevel inverter, this paper proposes a multilevel inverter that reduces the number of components and can be modularly expanded. The inverter is composed of a voltage divider capacitor unit, a switched capacitor unit and two half bridges. It uses 1 DC power supply, 4 capacitors, 8 switches and 2 diodes to achieve double voltage gain and a nine-level AC output voltage. Two half-bridges are used in the proposed inverter instead of the back-end H-bridge to convert the output voltage polarity, which can effectively reduce the total voltage stress of the switches. In the modular expansion structure of the proposed inverter, the step-by-step charging method of the capacitors further improves the voltage gain and the output level number. This paper includes the working states, modulation strategy, capacitance analysis, parameter calculation, and topology comparison of the proposed inverter. Finally, the feasibility of the proposed inverter and the correctness of the theoretical analysis are verified through simulation and experiment.
