Abstract
ABSTRACT In power electronics, the alleviation of the converter losses is the major target to accomplish higher efficiency and lower thermal stress that can pave the way to lifetime enhancement of devices. Hence, this paper intends to implement a novel variable switching frequency system for switching loss minimisation in a 3-phase Voltage Source Inverter (VSI). Here, the count of commutations is minimised by varying the switching frequency over the fundamental period. Here, the switching loss is reduced by optimising the modulation index and the reference angle of VSI with a novel hybrid optimisation model. The proposed novel hybrid optimisation model is constructed by hybridising the concept of Group search Algorithm (GSO) and Rider Optimisation Algorithm (ROA) and hence referred to as Bypass updated Group search Algorithm (BU-GSO). Finally, the performance of BU-GSO is evaluated over the traditional models in terms of convergence analysis, Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) as well. Moreover, the evaluation is accomplished with inductive load variation and restive load variation, respectively.
