Abstract

In this article, the random search heuristic optimization algorithm is proposed to guarantee that the voltage synthesized by a seven-level multilevel inverter contains the lowest possible total harmonic distortion. The algorithm in this work is presented as an alternative, simple, and easy-to-implement method for solving a set of transcendental mathematical equations of multilevel inverters. The obtained results demonstrate the algorithm's capability to solve the mathematical formulation that minimizes the total harmonic distortion. It is important to highlight that the algorithm was implemented in Matlab®, and the obtained results were validated in a simulation conducted in Simulink®. Equally and not less important, the results were physically implemented in a laboratory prototype of three integrated circuits with H-bridges containing insulated gate bipolar transistors.
