This paper presents a novel fifteen-level two-source inverter topology that is reliable against source outages. The topology has two DC sources, a total of ten switches, and four DC-link capacitors. Level-shifted PWM is used to generate the required number of levels. Simulations are performed for normal operation as well as for the source outage conditions. The proposed topology is able to generate multi-level output waveform satisfactorily even at the advent of source outages. The simulation results for the source outages are presented for both static and dynamic conditions along with the THD measurements.
