Selective Harmonic Elimination

This paper proposed a new topology of a symmetric single-phase multilevel inverter with the smaller number of semiconductor switches and optimized low-frequency control methods to optimize the Total Harmonic Distortion. A nine-level single phase output is obtained by eight number of active semiconductor switches, four diodes and four capacitors from two asymmetrical dc sources. The selected harmonic order in the output voltage is eliminated by the PWM (SHE-PWM) based on selective harmonic elimination. To optimize the switching angles, an ant colony optimization is introduced. The proposed SHE-PWM and ant optimization are implemented and tested for THD on the SIMULINK platform. The proposed approach offers less THD and is best suited to high-power applications with medium voltage.

Cascaded Multilevel Inverter

The main goal of utilizing Selective Harmonic Elimination (SHE) techniques in Multilevel Inverters (MLI) is to produce a high-quality output voltage signal with a minimum Total Harmonic Distortion (THD). By calculating N switching angles, SHE technique can eliminate (N-1) low order odd harmonics of the output voltage waveform. To optimized and obtained these switching angles, N of nonlinear equations should be solved using a numerical method. Modulation index (m) and duty cycle play a big role in selective harmonic elimination technique to obtain a minimum harmonic distortion and desired fundamental component voltage. In this paper, a novel Optimization Harmonic Elimination Technique (OHET) based on SHE scheme is proposed to re-mitigate Total Harmonic Distortion. The performance of seven-level H-bridge cascade inverter is evaluated using PSIM and validated experimentally by developing a purposely built microcontroller-based printed circuit board.

Cascaded structured multilevel inverters are gaining lot of importance due to their simple structure and easiness in implementation. In this paper, the optimum selective harmonic elimination method is employed for a nine level inverter to suppress the selected lower order harmonic, which reduces the total harmonic distortion of the inverter considerably. The Newton rapson algorithm is employed in finding the switching angles that minimizes certain lower order harmonics. The order of the harmonics that are eliminated are third, fifth, and seventh harmonics. All the simulation results included for a nine level inverter using SIMULINK.

<span>In this paper, modified multilevel inverter, via addition of an auxiliary bidirectional switch, based on Newton Raphson (NR) and Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) techniques is presented. The NR and PSO techniques were employed for selective harmonics elimination (SHE) solution in a modified Cascaded H Bridge Multilevel inverter (CHB-MLI). The Selective Harmonic Elimination Pulse-Width Modulation (SHE-PWM) is a powerful technique for harmonic minimization in multilevel inverter. The NR and PSO techniques were used to determine the switching angles by solving the non-linear equations of the output voltage waveform of the modified CHB-MLI in order to control the fundamental component and eliminate some low order harmonics. The proposed NR and PSO techniques are capable to minimize the Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) of the output voltage of the modified inverter within allowable limits. This paper aims to modeling and simulation by MATLAB of the modified topology of the CHB-MLI for a single-phase prototype for 13-levels. The inverter offers less THD and greater efficiency using PSO control algorithm compared with the NR algorithm. <br https://server9.kproxy.com/servlet/redirect.srv/sruj/snbzofspy/skvyzff/p1/> The performance of the proposed controllers based on NR and PSO techniques is verified through simulation.</span>

Abstract Harmonic minimisation in hybrid cascaded multilevel inverter involves complex nonlinear transcendental equation with multiple solutions. Hybrid cascaded multilevel can be implemented using reduced switch count when compared to traditional cascaded multilevel inverter topology. In this paper Biogeographical Based Optimisation (BBO) technique is applied to Hybrid multilevel inverter to determine the optimum switching angles with weighted total harmonic distortion (WTHD) as the objective function. Optimisation based on WTHD combines the advantage of both OMTHD (Optimal Minimisation of Total Harmonic Distortion) and SHE (Selective Harmonic Elimination) PWM. WTHD optimisation has the benefit of eliminating the specific lower order harmonics as in SHEPWM and minimisation of THD as in OMTHD. The simulation and experimental results for a 7 level multilevel inverter were presented. The results indicate that WTHD optimization provides both elimination of lower order harmonics and minimisation of Total Harmonic Distortion when compared to conventional OMTHD and SHE PWM. Experimental prototype of a seven level hybrid cascaded multilevel inverter is implemented to verify the simulation results.
