this paper proposes a new power electronic converter for photovoltaic systems applications. The proposed power electronic converter consists of multi- output DC/DC boost converter and multilevel inverter. This power electronic converter needs to minimum number of power electronic elements such as IGBTs, gate drivers, diodes and capacitors. This converter can generate all output voltage levels (odd and even) at the output voltage waveform. Fundamental frequency-switching technique is applied to the proposed topology to trigger the switches for controlling the voltage levels generated on the output. Verification of the analytical results is done using MATLAB simulation software
