ABSTRACT
In this paper the role of Selective Harmonic Elimination (SHE) is presented for diode clamped twelve-level
multilevel inverter (DCMLI) based on dog leg optimization algorithm. Non-linear equations has been
solved to eliminate specific low order harmonics, using the developed DOP algorithm, while at the same
time the fundamental component is retained efficiently. The non-linear nature of transcendental equation
provide multiple or even no solution for a particular modulation index. The proposed optimization method
solving the nonlinear transcendental equations providing all possible solutions. The paper also showing
the comparison between different modulation techniques including the proposed method. The entire system
has been simulated using MATLAB/Simulink. Simulation results confirm the effectiveness with negligible
THD.

I. INTRODUTION
In power electronics, the development of multilevel inverter provide a new and alternative option
in high power applications. The high voltage sharing ability, low electromagnetic interference
(EMI), lower harmonics, made multilevel inverter a very hot area in today’s power system and
large motor drives. It is not difficult to develop high voltage inverters with multilevel structure in
which voltage are controlled, but the main problem is the harmonic distortion in the output
waveform. Recently many modulation techniques such as SPWM, SVPWM, SHEPWM, etc[1]
have been used to address this problem. SHEPWM technique can lower the harmonic content of
the output current as well as resonant harmonic. In the same manner different types of multilevel
are used for the purpose of reduction in harmonics and improvement in power quality[2]

.Cascaded inverters with

.Cascaded inverter using SVPWM to minimize harmonics and switching

.Many multi -level inverters are used but diode clamped multi-level inverter
(DCMLI) is employed for many applications like power drives & utility system [12]
.
In this proposed method diode clamped 12 level inverter is implemented using selective
harmonic elimination pulse width modulation technique (SHEPWM) to reduce the total harmonic
distortion of the output wave form and improve quality of power. Optimization technique dog leg
is used for switching angles of IGBTs employed in the system and the switching angles are
solved by non-linear transcendental equations which contain trigonometric terms. Newton-
Repshan is used to solve thesetranscendental equations.
II. WORKING PRINCIPLE
The basic working principle block diagram of SHE was shown in Figure 1. Table 1 showsthe
number of on and off switches for different levels of output voltage in a half cycle (0to90o
) for
12levels DCMLI’s. At any level number of on switches = (m/2)-1 while each switch is turned on
once at a time.

The output of DCMLI is a stepped waveforms shown in Figure 2 for each step IGBT is switched
at an angle such that the total harmonic distortion is reduced. To get a desired value of
fundamental component of voltage and reduced THD, Selective harmonic elimination PWM
method is used. Selective Harmonic elimination (SHEPWM) is used for low switching frequency
and removing lower order odd harmonics such as 3rd
, 5th, 7th
, 11th
and 13th
. This method further
uses of iterative optimization technique ‘trust region dogleg’ algorithms to compute switching
angles (α).

  • 1. Emerging Trends in Electrical, Electronics & Instrumentation Engineering: An international Journal (EEIEJ), Vol. 1, No. 3, August 2014 17 Development of Improved Diode Clamped Multilevel Inverter Using Optimized Selective Harmonic Elimination Technique Tariq Kamal, Syed Zulqadar Hassan, Syeda Zahra Naqvi, Imranullah Department of Electronics Engineering University of Engineering & Technology Peshawar, Abbottabad Campus,Pakistan ABSTRACT In this paper the role of Selective Harmonic Elimination (SHE) is presented for diode clamped twelve-level multilevel inverter (DCMLI) based on dog leg optimization algorithm. Non-linear equations has been solved to eliminate specific low order harmonics, using the developed DOP algorithm, while at the same time the fundamental component is retained efficiently. The non-linear nature of transcendental equation provide multiple or even no solution for a particular modulation index. The proposed optimization method solving the nonlinear transcendental equations providing all possible solutions. The paper also showing the comparison between different modulation techniques including the proposed method. The entire system has been simulated using MATLAB/Simulink. Simulation results confirm the effectiveness with negligible THD. KEYWORDS DCMLI,SHEPWM, Switching Angles, DOP, THD I. INTRODUTION In power electronics, the development of multilevel inverter provide a new and alternative option in high power applications. The high voltage sharing ability, low electromagnetic interference (EMI), lower harmonics, made multilevel inverter a very hot area in today’s power system and large motor drives. It is not difficult to develop high voltage inverters with multilevel structure in which voltage are controlled, but the main problem is the harmonic distortion in the output waveform. Recently many modulation techniques such as SPWM, SVPWM, SHEPWM, etc[1] have been used to address this problem. SHEPWM technique can lower the harmonic content of the output current as well as resonant harmonic. In the same manner different types of multilevel are used for the purpose of reduction in harmonics and improvement in power quality[2] .

Using different voltage balancing equations and techniques to form a flying capacitor H-Bridge multilevel inverter[9] .Cascaded inverters with particle swarm optimization technique to improve power quality and reduce total harmonics[10] .Cascaded inverter using SVPWM to minimize harmonics and switching frequency[11] .Many multi -level inverters are used but diode clamped multi-level inverter (DCMLI) is employed for many applications like power drives & utility system [12] . In this proposed method diode clamped 12 level inverter is implemented using selective harmonic elimination pulse width modulation technique (SHEPWM) to reduce the total harmonic distortion of the output wave form and improve quality of power. Optimization technique dog leg is used for switching angles of IGBTs employed in the system and the switching angles are solved by non-linear transcendental equations which contain trigonometric terms. Newton- Repshan is used to solve thesetranscendental equations. II. WORKING PRINCIPLE The basic working principle block diagram of SHE was shown in Figure 1. Table 1 showsthe number of on and off switches for different levels of output voltage in a half cycle (0to90o ) for 12levels DCMLI’s. At any level number of on switches = (m/2)-1 while each switch is turned on once at a time. DC Supply Three Phase VSI Load Sinusoidal PWM Techniques Selective Harmonic Elimination Figure 1 Block Diagram of Selective Harmonic Elimination The output of DCMLI is a stepped waveforms shown in Figure 2 for each step IGBT is switched at an angle such that the total harmonic distortion is reduced. To get a desired value of fundamental component of voltage and reduced THD, Selective harmonic elimination PWM method is used. Selective Harmonic elimination (SHEPWM) is used for low switching frequency and removing lower order odd harmonics such as 3rd , 5th, 7th , 11th and 13th . This method further uses of iterative optimization technique ‘trust region dogleg’ algorithms to compute switching angles (α).
