Abstract

In this paper a selective harmonic mitigation-PWM control technique has been applied to a five-level cascaded H-bridge inverter to satisfy the grid standards. The objective of this technique is to minimize the output voltage odd, non-triplen harmonic contents from the 5th up to the 41th. But due to the only four degrees of freedom, reducing all harmonic contents under their permitted range is impossible. However, the objective function and the constraints are defined in such a way that except the twenty third and twenty fifth harmonics, all harmonics will be mitigated to their acceptable levels. The first priority in solving the optimization problem is fitting the first component which is then followed by mitigating each individual harmonic and the total harmonic distortion. The proposed objective function is optimized using EPSO algorithm and the simulation results show the superiority of the SHM-PWM technique from the harmonic mitigation and THD points of view.
