Résumé :	The depletion of fossil resources and the trend towards massive decarbonization lead to a growth of electrification around the world. As a result, electrification is intended to grow exponentially in the coming years and power electronic converters will play a key role over a wide range of applications. They are expected indeed to be more reliable, modular, easy-to-maintain and cost efficient. This thesis consists on modeling, analyzing and manufacturing a Multilevel Converter which, at first sight, meets these requirements. The basic principle of the Multilevel Converter is to build a sinewave thanks to several DC sources. The switching stress as well as the harmonic distortion are therefore lower in comparison with traditionnal inverter using one bulky DC source. The objective of the thesis is therefore to develop, design and build our own Multilevel Converter in order to analyse/compare its behaviour with respect to other technique over two applications : automotive and stationnary applications. Finally, the limitations, the influencing factors as well as the development paths will be discussed for any eventual future work.
