This paper proposed a new topology of a symmetric single-phase multilevel inverter with the smaller number of semiconductor switches and optimized low-frequency control methods to optimize the Total Harmonic Distortion. A nine-level single phase output is obtained by eight number of active semiconductor switches, four diodes and four capacitors from two asymmetrical dc sources. The selected harmonic order in the output voltage is eliminated by the PWM (SHE-PWM) based on selective harmonic elimination. To optimize the switching angles, an ant colony optimization is introduced. The proposed SHE-PWM and ant optimization are implemented and tested for THD on the SIMULINK platform. The proposed approach offers less THD and is best suited to high-power applications with medium voltage.

<span lang="EN-US">Multilevel inverters are emerging as the new breed of power converter options for high power applications. They typically synthesis the staircase voltage waveform (from several dc sources) which reduced harmonic content. This paper presents a simple selective harmonic elimination (SHE) modulation for single-phase cascaded H-bridge (CHB) multilevel inverter. The optimum switching angle of the transcendental equations describing the fundamental and harmonic components is solved by means of the Newton-Raphson (NR) method. The proposed SHE scheme is performed through simulation using MATLAB/Simulink. This simulation results are then verified through experiment using Altera DE0-Nano field-programmable gate array (FPGA). The proposed SHE is efficient in eliminating the lowest-order harmonics and producing a higher quality output waveform with a better harmonic profile.  </span>
