Randomized trial demonstrates voltage regulation in multilevel inverters, suggesting enhanced efficiency benefits.

The aim is to introduce a new multilevel buck-boost inverter characterized by six active switches for voltage conversion.
Developed five-level and seven-level inverter designs using six active switches.
Implemented equal and uneven DC sources for symmetric and asymmetric setups, respectively.
Utilized simulation data to validate performance metrics such as total harmonic distortion.
Achieved total harmonic distortion (THD) values of 1.26-1.32% for buck mode and 1.32-1.36% for boost mode, both below the IEEE 519 standard of 5%.
Demonstrated a unity power factor for both operational modes.
Provided detailed simulation data confirming the effectiveness of the proposed designs.
