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...

Abstract --One of the major problems in electric power quality is the harmonic contents. There are several methods of indicating the quantity of harmonic contents. As per IEEE 519 std. these parameters of power quality measurement, are four in number, of which Total Harmonic Distortion is most widely used. In electrical systems, harmonics increase business operating costs by increasing downtime...

Abstract— This paper presents Neuro-Fuzzy logic based Power Conditioner for elimination of current harmonic. In it neuro-fuzzy based technique is used for generating compensating current to eliminate/reduce the harmonics content which is generated by the system. The modelling of Fuzzy rule base on Neural Network is also mention in this paper. FFT analysis also has been done for the calculation ...

This work considers new applications of Firefly and Fireworks algorithm for solving the selective harmonic elimination problem in inverter output waveforms. The higher order harmonics in the output of the inverter can be eliminated easily by using small passive filters. Lower order harmonic elimination requires selecting a pre-specified firing angle. That angle is one of the many solutions of a...

Multilevel inverter have been attracting increasing interest recently due to the increased power rating, improving harmonic performance, and reduced electromagnetic inference (EMI) emission. In this project, a genetic algorithm (GA) optimization technique is applied to 7-level cascaded multilevel inverter which determines optimum switching angles to eliminate 5 and 7th order harmonics. Genetic ...

Abetmct A concept of optimal surplus harmonies distribution in selective harmonic elimination PWM teehnique for multilevel inverters is introduced in this paper. There m e several performance indexes that fan he optimized in PWM inverters, e.g., distortion factor, current or voltage total harmonic distortion, or efficiency. Minimisation of magnetic noise is selected as an example here. Several ...
