Production systems of renewable energy are extensively studied because of their major interest in sustainable development. Therefore, the control structures of the inverter connected to the network is an important part of the conversion and transmission of energy, they must be improved to meet the demands of the connection to the distribution network. This article discusses the comparison between two structures of three-phase inverters; NPC three-level inverter (Neutral Point Clamped), and the usual two-level inverter. The comparison is based on the evaluation of harmonic distortion THD for both inverters are controlled by two different strategies, namely sinusoidal pulse with modulation SPWM and control in mode SWM (square-wave mode). All circuits are modeled and simulated using Matlab-Simulink-SimPowerSystems software.
