In this paper, the marine predator algorithm (MPA) is proposed for solving transcendental nonlinear equations in a selective harmonic elimination technique using multilevel inverter (MLI). It proved its suitability and supremacy over other (SHE) techniques used recent research as it has good precision, high probability of convergence, improving quality output voltage. The optimum values switchi...

In this paper a novel hybrid algorithm for harmonics estimation in power systems is proposed. The estimation of the harmonic components is a nonlinear problem due to the nonlinearity of phase of sinusoids in distorted waveforms. Most researchers implemented nonlinear methods to extract the harmonic parameters. However, nonlinear methods for amplitude estimation increase time of convergence. Hen...

A few hours of fumigation will easily eliminate a home's pest infestation. However, one has to choose other means of pest control if the home's residents cannot relocate. The same issue underpins selective nuclear elimination in multinucleate cells. Recently, we reported a novel cell elimination strategy in early developing seeds of the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana; a large embryo-nourishin...

The paper proposes an algorithm to calculate the switching angles using harmonic elimination PWM (HEPWM) scheme for voltage source inverter. The algorithm is based on curve fittings of a certain polynomials functions. The resulting equations require only the addition and multiplication processes; therefore, it can be implemented efficiently on a microprocessor. An extensive angle error analysis...

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...

This paper presents detailed modeling and simulation of a compensator for Load balancing and harmonics Compensation based on a five-level cascaded H-bridge multilevel voltage source inverter. This type of compensator, which is installed in parallel with the load, is usually referred to as the shunt active power filters (APF). Nowadays use of high voltage non-linear loads are widely used in indu...
