Abstract

This paper introduces a novel approach for enhancing the performance of multilevel inverters by applying a dung beetle optimizer (DBO)-based Selective Harmonic Elimination (SHE) technique. Focusing on a 3-phase multilevel inverter (MLI) with a non-H-bridge structure, the proposed method offers advantages such as cost-effective hardware implementation and eliminating the traditional H-bridge inverter requirement. To assess its efficacy, we compare the presented DBO-based SHE technique (DBOSHE) with Genetic Algorithm (GA) and Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO), evaluating their ability to determine optimal switching angles for achieving low-distorted load voltage. Unlike methods reliant on time-consuming calculations or fixed solutions, DBO provides a flexible approach, considering multiple possibilities to yield accurate switching angles. Using Simulink, harmonic component values and Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) are obtained for each optimization technique, specifically emphasizing on 9-level and 11-level MLI topologies. Our study aims to identify the most effective optimization technique for achieving lower THD and THDe values while eliminating odd-order harmonics from the 3-phase load voltage. Finally, we demonstrate the effectiveness of employing DBO for THD and THDe optimization within the SHE technique.

Abstract

This study demonstrates a novel method for using the Bonobo Optimizer (BO) to selective harmonic elimination in a cascaded H-Bridge Multilevel Inverter (CHB-MLI) running on solar power. The primary objective is to calculate, in real time, the optimal switching angles for eliminating low-order harmonics while maintaining a constant output voltage despite variations in the input voltage. To prove that the BO algorithm works, tests were done on a three-phase, seven-level CHB-MLI that compared it to other evolutionary algorithms like the genetic algorithm (GA) and particle Swarm optimization (PSO). An adaptive BO-Artificial neural network (BO-ANN) based system was developed to compute real-time switching angles and applied to a 7-level CHB-MLI. The results demonstrate that the BO algorithm is the most accurate and fastest evolutionary algorithm for calculating optimal switching angles. This study illustrates the BO algorithm's effective utilization in real-time harmonic elimination applications in CHB-MLI.
