The inverter consists of modular switched-battery cells and a full-bridge. It is multifunctional and has two modes of operation: the charging mode which charges the battery bank and the inverter mode which supplies AC power to the load. This inverter topology requires significantly less power switches compared to conventional topology such as cascaded H-bridge multilevel inverter, leading to reduced size/cost and improved reliability. To selectively eliminate low-order harmonics and control the desired fundamental component, nonlinear system equations are represented in fitness function through the manipulation of modulation index and the Genetic Algorithm is employed to find the optimum switching angles. A 7-level inverter prototype is implemented and experimental results are provided to verify the feasibility of the proposed inverter design.
