Power loss is the most significant parameter in power system analysis and its adequate calculation directly effects the economic and technical evaluation. This paper aims to propose a multi-objective optimization algorithm which optimizes dc source magnitudes and switching angles to yield minimum THD in cascaded multilevel inverters. The optimization algorithm uses metaheuristic approach, namely Harmony Search algorithm. The effectiveness of the multi-objective algorithm has been tested with 11-level Cascaded H-Bridge Inverter with optimized DC voltage sources using MATLAB/Simulink. As the main objective of this research paper is to analyze total power loss, calculations of power loss are simplified using approximation of curves from datasheet values and experimental measurements. The simulation results, obtained using multi-objective optimization method, have been compared with basic SPWM, optimal minimization of THD, and it is confirmed that the multilevel inverter fired using multi- objective optimization technique has reduced power loss and minimum THD for a wide operating range of multilevel inverter.

This research implements a PI controller based on harmony search (HS) optimization algorithm for voltage source inverter to improve the output performance under step load change conditions. The HS algorithm aims to handle the trial and error procedure used in finding the PI parameters and then apply the proposed control algorithm via the eZdsp TMS320F28355 board to link the inverter prototype with the Matlab Simulink. The mean absolute error (MAE) is used as an optimization problem to minimize the output voltage error for the developed controller (PI-HS) as compared to the PI controller based particale swarm optimization algorithm (PI-PSO). Based on the experimental results obtained, it is noted that the proposed controller (PI-HS) provides a good dynamic performance, robustness, constant voltage amplitude, and fast response in terms of overshoot, transient, and steady-state.

The normal parameter reduction in soft set is difficult to application in data mining because of great calculation quantity. In this paper, the intelligent optimization algorithm, the harmony search algorithm, is applied to solve the problem. The normal parameter reduction model is constructed and the harmony search algorithm is designed. Experience has shown that the method is feasible and fast..
