Abstract :
Selective Harmonic Elimination (SHE) is very widely applied technique in the control of multilevel inverters that can be used to eliminate the low order dominant harmonics. This is considered a low frequency technique, in which the switching angles are predetermined based on solving a system of transcendental equations. Iterative techniques such as NR and Heuristic techniques such as GA and PSO have been used widely in literatures for the problem of SHE. This paper presents a detailed comparative study of these three techniques when applied for a 7-level CHB-MLI.
