**3. Simulation Results**

The proposed topology was built in the SIMULINK environment. For simplicity, two H-bridge units were used per phase in the proposed topology. The system consisted of 12 HIT-N220A01 PV modules; six of them were connected to upper part of the proposed topology such that one PV module was linked to each H-bridge unit. The other six PV modules were connected to the lower part of the proposed MLI such that two parallel PV modules were linked to each VSI unit. Two cases were used in the simulation:
