Abstract
The prime objective of SHE PWM is to eliminate selected lower order harmonic by solving a set of non-linear transcendental equation while maintaining the fundamental component at a desired satisfactory value. In order to solve these non-linear equations different metaheuristic optimization techniques has been used in recent past. Due to faster convergence rate increased precision and higher probability to calculus based mathematical approximation techniques. In this manuscript an improved initialized Gravitational search algorithm has been proposed for a uni-polar 3-phase inverter. The algorithm is improved upon through a controlled random initialization of search agent, specifically for the purpose of solving the set of non-linear transcendental equation in SHEPWM for 3- switching angles. The simulation of the gravitational search algorithm and the proposed improved initialized GSA has been performed in MATLAB software and comparison of different performance parameter like Harmonic distortion, convergence rate etc. has been studied. The simulation results proves that a considerable improvement has been achieved by applying improved initialized GSA algorithm in terms of harmonic mitigation, convergence rate and accuracy in finding out the appropriate switching angles. Finally, the results obtained in simulation are verified through an appropriate experimental setup.
