The Reduction of Total Harmonic Distortion for the Multilevel Converter Using Genetic Algorithms Optimization Method

Journal Title: Carpathian Journal of Electrical Engineering - Year 2018, Vol 12, Issue 1

Abstract

Electricity, DC voltage – AC voltage, conversion generated from certain renewable energy sources such as photovoltaic panels should be made with quality factors imposed by the present standards. In the case of multilevel converters the achievement of reasonable distortion factor is realized by optimizing the targeted waveform using Newton Raphson method. This paper presents an optimization solution based on genetic algorithm. Voltage waveforms obtained by this technique and the total harmonic distortion degree of reduction are presented by comparing the results obtained from supplying a consumer with a voltage generated in classical way through DC-AC conversion, using multilevel converter.
