Abstract In this paper, a new advanced topology of stacked multicell inverter is proposed which is generally suitable for high number of steps associated with a low number of switches. Compared with traditional flying capacitor multicell and stacked multicell (SM) inverters, doubling the number of output voltage levels and the RMS value, ameliorating the output voltage frequency spectrum, decreasing the number and rating of components, stored energy and rating of flying capacitors are available with the proposed inverter. These improvements are achieved by adding only four low-frequency switches to the traditional SM inverter’s structure. The suggested topology is simulated using MATLAB/SIMULINK software, and simulation results are presented to indicate well-performance of the novel converter. In addition, the experimental results of proposed topology prototype have been presented to validate its practicability.
