Abstract
Selective Harmonic Elimination technique is one of the control methods applied in Voltage Source Inverters to eliminate the harmonics. However, finding the solutions for the harmonic reduction is a difficult problem to be solved. This paper presents an efficient and reliable Evolutionary Algorithms based solution for Selective Harmonic Elimination (SHE) switching pattern to eliminate the lower order harmonics in Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) inverter. Determination of pulse pattern for the elimination of lower order harmonics of a PWM inverter necessitates solving a system of nonlinear transcendental equations. Evolutionary Algorithms are used to solve nonlinear transcendental equations for PWM–SHE. In this proposed method, harmonics up to 19th are eliminated using Evolutionary Algorithms without using dual transformer. The experimental results are obtained and are validated with simulations using PSIM 6.1 and MATLAB 7.0.
