The harmonic currents are generated by single phase nonlinear loads. The mirror surplus harmonic elimination method is used mostly because of its less computation. The Selective Harmonic Elimination Pulse Width Modulation (SHEPWM) based methods can provide theoretically the highest quality output among all the PWM methods. In this paper SHEPWM model of a multilevel series connected voltage sour...

In this study, an enhanced SPWM modulation scheme is developed in order to minimize total harmonic ratio (THD) by eliminating the side band harmonics that are not paid attention in regular modulation sc...

Harmonic Elimination Strategy (HES) has been a widely researched alternative to traditional PWM techniques. This paper presents the harmonic elimination strategy of a Uniform Step Asymmetrical Multilevel Inverter (USAMI) using Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) which eliminates specified higher order harmonics while maintaining the required fundamental voltage. This method can be applied to USAM...

This paper presents accurate solutions for nonlinear transcendental equations of the selective harmonic elimination technique used in three-phase PWM inverters feeding the induction motor by particle swarm optimization (PSO). With the proposed approach, the required switching angles are computed efficiently to eliminate low order harmonics up to the 23 from the inverter voltage waveform, wherea...

In this paper, a genetic algorithm (GA) optimization technique is applied to cascaded multilevel inverter to remove pre specified order of harmonics and to reduce THD. Genetic Algorithm is developed as the preferred solution algorithm of specific harmonic elimination (PWM-SHE) switching pattern. This paper describes an efficient genetic algorithm that reduces significantly the computational bur...

All fundamental frequency estimators based on spectral analysis rely heavily on a proper harmonic selection of the voice analyzed. Since in practice other spectral peaks pertaining to sources external to the speech considered may be present in the signal, various schemes have been designed to ensure a satisfactory elimination of non pertinent harmonics. This paper introduces a new harmonic sele...

Abstract --One of the major problems in electric power quality is the harmonic contents. There are several methods of indicating the quantity of harmonic contents. As per IEEE 519 std. these parameters of power quality measurement, are four in number, of which Total Harmonic Distortion is most widely used. In electrical systems, harmonics increase business operating costs by increasing downtime...

Multilevel Inverters (MLIs) have drawn increasing attention in numerous applications, especially in drives, distributed energy resources area, utility etc. MLIs have the ability to synthesize a near sinusoidal output voltage wave with minimal Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) in low frequency switching. Even though they offer lower THD, the presence of lower order harmonics is objectionable and h...

In this research, an Artificial Bee Colony (ABC) algorithm based Selective Harmonics Elimination (SHE) technique is used as a pulse generator in reduced switch fifteen level inverter that receives input from PV system. Pulse width modulation on mostly to suppress lower-order harmonics. A high gain DC-DC-SEPIC converter keeps the photovoltaic (PV) panel’s output voltage constant. The Grey Wolf O...
