Red deer algorithm-based selective harmonic elimination technique for multilevel inverters

This paper proposed a red deer algorithm (RDA)-based selective harmonic elimination (SHE) method for multilevel inverters (MLIs). To eliminate the desired orders, optimum switching angles of MLI have been calculated using RDA. The applied to 3-phase cascaded H-bridged 11-level inverter. In addition, performance RDA was compared with results methods such as Newton-Raphson (NR) method, LSHADE/EpSin technique (LSHADE), whale optimization (WOA), and particle swarm (PSO) used SHE problem in literature. obtained prove that solves problems more effectively than other methods. It has also observed produces good solutions different modulation indexes.
