- The emergence of multilevel inverters has been in increase since the last decade. These new types of converters are suitable for high voltage and high power application due to their ability to synthesize waveforms with better harmonic spectrum. Numerous topologies have been introduced and widely studied for utility and induction billet applications. In this paper, proposed a Modified Multilevel Inverter (MMI) is eleven Levels. This proposed MMI consists of less number of switches to attain eleven levels when compared to the traditional cascaded multilevel inverter to attain the same level. As a result, voltage current stress across switches gets reduced, so that power loss gets reduced in the system. Secondly, an effective pulse width modulation (PWM) approach that can be utilized successfully with high control accuracy is combination of selective harmonic elimination and pulse width modulation (SHEPWM).This technique offers many advantages other PWM techniques including direct control over output waveform harmonics, and the ability to eliminate third, fifth and seventh order harmonics.


The quality of power of the cascaded H-bridge multilevel inverter is affected due to harmonics. In this paper, a Selective Harmonic Elimination Pulse Width Modulation (SHE-PWM) method including controllable DC link voltage is introduced for the multilevel inverter. Novel mathematical modeling of SHE-PWM is established concerning the DC link voltage. Compared to ordinary selective harmonic elimination, the proposed method has an increased number of degrees of freedom because of its variable DC link voltage. On the other hand, the selective harmonic elimination utilizes constant DC link voltage. In the proposed scheme, the nonlinear equations are solved only once in the entire voltage range. As a result, the computational burden will decrease. Also, the Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) of the output voltage remains constant for various values of the operating points. The simulation is performed using Matlab Simulink and the comparison is performed with the conventional PWM method. It is intended that the proposed SHE-PWM based cascaded H-bridge multilevel inverter provides better performance in terms of lower-order harmonics and less THD compares to conventional PWM method.

<p>In this work, a three-phase of multilevel inverter (MLI) with reduced number of switches components based on Newton Raphson (NR) and Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) techniques were presented. The Selective Harmonic Elimination Pulse-Width Modulation (SHE-PWM) is a powerful technique for harmonic minimization in multilevel inverter within allowable limits. NR and PSO techniques were used to determine the switching angles by solving the non-linear equation's analysis of the output voltage waveform of the modified CHB-MLI in order to control the fundamental component. A comparison has been made between NR and PSO techniques related to optimization in order minimize harmonic distortion. The main aims of this paper cover design, modeling, construction the modified topology of the CHB-MLI for a three phase five levels inverter. The controllers based on NR and PSO were applied to the modified multilevel inverter. The inverter offers much less THD using PSO scheme compared with the NR scheme. The performance of the proposed controllers based on NR and PSO techniques done by using MATLAB/Simulink of results are compared.</p>
