Figure 1 shows the circuit configuration of the proposed five-level boost inverter, termed “5-Level single-stage common-ground boost inverter (5L-S 2 CGBI)”. Considering the switched capacitor cell integrated into the proposed inverter’s topology, the number of voltage levels is increased from 3 to 5, and the boosting feature is enhanced.
