Abstract

The study develops an optimized SHE procedure to regulate a CHB-MLI powered by PV modules which use unequal DC sources. The main goal involves finding suitable switching angles that produce minimal low-order harmonics during steady output voltage operation under variable input scenarios. The Red-Tailed Hawk Algorithm (RTHA) serves as a recent bio-inspired metaheuristic optimization method to solve effectively the nonlinear transcendental SHE equations. The MATLAB/Simulink environment implements a validation of the proposed method by modeling a three-phase 7-level CHB-MLI system. A performance evaluation of the proposed algorithm occurs against established optimization methods consisting of Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) and Grey Wolf Optimization (GWO) and Whale Optimization Algorithm (WOA). Total Harmonic Distortion reduction, computational efficiency and convergence rate serve as the three main performance indicators for evaluation. The experimental findings show RTHA accomplishes higher harmonic reduction while offering improved speed and stability when dealing with unequal DC voltage issues when contrasted against traditional optimization methods. RTHA operates better than analytical approaches in real-world inverter applications through its flexible and adaptable approach despite needing complex calculations and preset conditions. The scale-up of RTHA applications requires additional research because excessive computational requirements and initial value dependencies must be addressed. The research shows that RTHA-based SHE optimization represents a viable and implementable solution for power quality advancement in renewable energy systems.

Abstract

Modern power electronics depend heavily on Multilevel Inverters (MLIs) to drive high-power systems operating in renewable energy systems electric vehicles along with industrial motor drives. MLIs create AC signals of high quality by joining multiple DC voltage sources which leads to minimal harmonic distortion outputs. The Cascaded H-Bridge MLI (CHB-MLI) stands out as a first choice among different topologies of MLI for photovoltaic (PV) applications because it includes modular features with fault tolerance capabilities and excellent multi-DC source integration. To achieve effective operation MLIs need optimized control strategies that reduce harmonics while maintaining highest performance. Using SHE-PWM technology provides an effective technique for harmonic frequency reduction which allows the improvement of waveform integrity. Technical restrictions make the solution of SHE-PWM nonlinear equations exceptionally challenging to implement. The resolution of complex non-linear equations requires implementation of GA combined with PSO and BO for optimal switching angle determination. The research investigates an 11-level asymmetric CHB-MLI using five solar panels where SHE-PWM switching angles are optimized through GA, PSO and BO applications. Simulation tests validate that the implemented algorithms succeed in minimizing Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) and removing fundamental harmonic disturbances. The evaluation demonstrates distinct capabilities of each optimization approach between accuracy rates and computational speed performance. These optimization methods yield practical advantages which boost the performance of multi-level inverters. The researchers who follow should study actual hardware deployments together with combined control approaches to enhance power electronic applications.
