Abstract: The combination of multilevel inverter with renewable energy source power generation is paid more attention among the researchers, because multilevel inverters are widely accepted power converters in for high-power applications. The conventional multilevel inverters are highly implemented in industries, and the success of this has motivated to create newer topologies with the reduced overall power electronics components. In this paper, recent multilevel inverter topologies with reduced number of switches are taken into account and to find a suitable topology for photovoltaic (PV) and wind energy applications. Finally, this paper gives a pathway for the upcoming researchers to consider the design issues and challenges in the development of new multilevel inverter topologies.
