Harmonic Elimination in Multilevel Converters
A method is presented to compute the switching angles in a multilevel converter so as to produce the required fundamental voltage while at the same time not generate higher order harmonics. Using a fundamental switching scheme, previous work has shown that this is possible only for specific ranges of the modulation index. Here it is shown for a three DC source multilevel inverter that, by modif...
متن کاملThe Use of Power Sums to Solve the Harmonic Elimination Equations for Multilevel Converters
A method is presented to compute the switching angles in a multilevel converter so as to produce the required fundamental voltage while at the same time not generate higher order harmonics. Previous work has shown that the transcendental equations characterizing the harmonic content can be converted to polynomial equations which are then solved using the method of resultants from elimination th...
متن کاملAn Improved Imperialist Competitive Algorithm based on a new assimilation strategy
Meta-heuristic algorithms inspired by the natural processes are part of the optimization algorithms that they have been considered in recent years, such as genetic algorithm, particle swarm optimization, ant colony optimization, Firefly algorithm. Recently, a new kind of evolutionary algorithm has been proposed that it is inspired by the human sociopolitical evolution process. This new algorith...
متن کاملDouble-Carrier Phase-Disposition Pulse Width Modulation Method for Modular Multilevel Converters
Modular multilevel converters (MMCs) have become one of the most attractive topologies for high-voltage and high-power applications. A double-carrier phase disposition pulse width modulation (DCPDPWM) method for MMCs is proposed in this paper. Only double triangular carriers with displacement angle are needed for DCPDPWM, one carrier for the upper arm and the other for the lower arm. Then, the ...
متن کاملK-harmonic Means Data Clustering with Imperialist Competitive Algorithm
Data clustering is one of the most important tasks of data mining. This paper aims to describe an integrated data clustering method based on Imperialist Competitive Algorithm (ICA) and K-Harmonic Means (KHM) algorithm. The proposed method is called ICA-KHM. KHM is a well-known clustering method and its main drawback is to converge to local optimums. Imperialist competitive algorithm is an evolu...
