Research gaps pertaining to SCMLIs and the solution proposed in this work.

Major research gaps related to SCMLI topologiesSolution offered by the topology proposed in this paper

High value of cost function (CF) as defined in (9): In topologies [9–15, 17–20]Low value of CF due to reduced component count per level and high-resolution waveform
Low voltage gain, in topologies [10, 11, 20]Offers a voltage gain of 3
High total standing voltage (TSV), [4, 6, 7, 12, 13, 18, 26]Single-stage topology with low total standing voltage
