           V. DESIGN, SIMULATION AND RESULTS

     In this study, MATLAB/Simulink is utilized to simulate
the two conventional multilevel inverter topologies which
are the neutral point clamped and cascade H-bridge
multilevel inverters as illustrate in Figs. 6 and 7 respectively.
The proposed five level inverter has been simulated in
MATLAB/Simulink as illustrated in Fig. 8.
