Harmonic elimination at the fundamental frequency is very much appropriate
for high and medium range of power generation and applications. This paper
considers a new technique for selective harmonic elimination (SHE), in
which the total harmonic distortion (THD) is minimized when compared
with that of the conventional one. With this technique, the harmonics at
lower order are eliminated, which are more predominant than the higher
ones. Cascaded H-Bridge inverter fed by a single DC is considered which is
simulated with the switching angles generated by both the conventional
method of SHE and the new method of SHE. The simulated results of the
load voltage and the waveforms of the harmonic analysis are shown. The
THD values are compared for the two techniques. The experimental results
are also shown for the new technique. The switching angles are generated
with the help of field programmable gated array (FPGA) in the hardware.
The value of experimental THD of voltage is compared with that of
simulated THD and the comparison prove that the results are satisfactory.

1. INTRODUCTION
Multilevel inverters are very famous in applications employing high and medium power
applications, because of their favourable characteristics like good quality output voltage and output current
waveforms, less stress on the switches stress, and less EMI [1-4]. The main classification of multilevel
inverter being the neutral point clamped inverter(diode clamped), cascaded H-bridge inverter, flying
capacitor inverter [5] and the modular multilevel converters (MMCs) [6-8], [25 – 27]. There are many control
techniques available for the multilevel inverter, the most popular and simple technique is the multi-carrier
PWM technique. However, this technique is carried out with a high frequency carrier signal that increases the
switching losses. Hence, the switching at the fundamental frequency is desired. Selective harmonic
elimination(SHE) is the best PWM technique at the fundamental frequency, SHE produces the fundamental
at the desired value by eliminating the dominant lower order harmonics [9-11]. In selective harmonic
elimination technique, the angles for switching are found by solving non-linear transcendental equation set
[12-13].
This paper proposes a SHE technique for the cascaded inverter which employs a single source of
DC. The selective harmonic elimination technique further reduces the harmonic distortion of the voltage
output of the multilevel inverter. The arrangement of the paper goes like this, Section 2 deals with the

multilevel inverter employing single source of DC, Section 3 deals with selective harmonic elimination
technique while section 4 brings out the new harmonic elimination, Section 5 brings out the simulation and
experimental results and Section 6 concludes the paper.
2. MULTILEVEL INVERTER EMPLOYING SINGLE SOURCE OF DC
The cascaded Inverters are usually preferred to other configurations of the inverters as they do not
require clamping diodes and capacitors. The only drawback of the cascaded inverter is that it uses separate
DC sources. An m-level inverter uses 

m DC sources, resulting in increased cost. The configuration
proposed in this paper eliminates this disadvantage of the conventional cascaded multilevel
inverter [14] [25 – 29].
The configuration requires only one DC source irrespective of levels, resulting in reduced cost.
The proposed five-level cascaded inverter employing a single source of DC shown in Figure 1(a).
The inverter uses only one DC source irrespective of the number of levels. An m-level inverter of the

m transformers. The output of the inverter is connected to the load through the
transformers. The primary of the transformers are connected to the DC source through the bridges. The
secondary transformer windings are connected in series aiding to the load [15-16].

3. SELECTIVE HARMONIC ELLIMINATION
Selective harmonic elimination (SHE) technique aims at switching ON and OFF the semiconductor
switches in such a way that the desired value of voltage or current fundamental is obtained with less
distortion. The angles for switching the devices at the fundamental frequency are calculated by solving the
transcendental equation set that characterize the harmonics [17]. For a five-level inverter, two switching
angles are to be generated by solving two equations. These equations are solved using the Newton-Raphson
(N-R) method that solves the nonlinear equations with initial approximate values is the one among the fastest
methods of iteration [18].
Figure 1(b) shows the waveform of voltage for the five-level inverter against the switching angles
for a half cycle. Expressing this waveform in Eqn. (1) with the help of Fourier series.

Solving (3) and (4) by Newton-Raphson method, the angles are calculated as θ1= 0.179 radians and
θ2=0.87 radians. Hence, the third harmonic is eliminated but the other harmonics like fifth, seventh, etc are
present.
4. NEW HARMONIC ELLIMINATION
A new SHE technique to minimize the fifth harmonic, along with the elimination of the third order
harmonic is considered in this paper. This is achieved by using the equation of fifth order harmonic along
with equation of the third order harmonic and leaving the fundamental equation. Fifth harmonic is not
completely eliminated but is reduced to a small value by equating the fifth harmonic equation to a minimum
value, say 0.0001, as given by Equation 5.

By solving Equations. (4 & 5) by N-R method [22], the θ1 and θ2 values are found to as θ1= 0.2094
rad and θ2= 0.8378 rad.
The new selective harmonic elimination reduces one more additional harmonic. For a five level
inverter, the technique mitigates the fifth order harmonics in addition to the third order harmonics. For a
seven-level inverter, the technique mitigates the seventh order harmonics alongwith the elimination of the
third and fifth order harmonics and so on. Hence, the THD value is further reduced. The THD is one among
the various performance parameters of inverter circuit and it can be found using Fourier series [23]. THD is
the ratio between the sum of all the harmonic components and the fundamental component of the voltage or
current.
5. RESULTS AND ANALYSIS
5.1. Simulation results
Simulation work of the five-level inverter is done using MATLAB/ Simulink with the conventional
SHE and the new SHE techniques. Waveforms of the simulated output voltage, harmonic analysis and the
PWM pattern for both the techniques are obtained.
Figure 2(a-c) respectively shows the simulated output voltage of the MLI, the harmonic analysis and the
PWM pattern for the conventional SHE. Figure 3(a- c) respectively shows the wave forms of output voltage
of the MLI, harmonic analysis and PWM pattern for the new SHE. From the Figures. 2(b) and 3(b), it is
evident that the THD value of the voltage output is 18.46 % with the conventional SHE technique while it is
17.4 % with the new SHE method. Hence, it is clear that the proposed SHE method results in the lesser value
of voltage THD as compared to that of the conventional SHE method. The Table 2 compares the THDs of the
voltages of the MLI for the two SHE techniques.

5.2. Experimental results
The proposed five-level CHB inverter is developed in hardware and is experimentally verified. In
the hardware, MOSFET switches are used. The switches are fired with the switching angles obtained with the
new SHE technique. The switching angles are produced with the FPGA SPARTAN 3E board. Spartan-3
FPGAs are perfectly suited to all type of electronics applications due to its low cost. FPGA realizes high
speed switching and attains a high over sampling rate [24]. Figure 4(a) and 4(b) show the snapshot of
hardware setup and the output voltage respectively.

6. CONCLUSION
A new SHE method is proposed and implemented for the five-level inverter. The new method has
the advantage of eliminating one more harmonic when compared to the conventional one. Simulation has
been carried out for the inverter with the conventional and the new SHE techniques. The simulated
waveforms of output voltage, THD analysis and the PWM pattern are obtained. It is found from the
simulated harmonic analysis waveform that the voltage THD is 18.46% for conventional SHE while it is

This paper considers a new technique for selective harmonic elimination (SHE), in which the total harmonic distortion (THD) is minimized when compared with that of the conventional one. With this technique, the harmonics at lower order are eliminated, which are more predominant than the higher ones. Cascaded H-Bridge inverter fed by a single DC is considered which is simulated with the switching angles generated by both the conventional method of SHE and the new method of SHE. The simulated results of the load voltage and the waveforms of the harmonic analysis are shown. The THD values are compared for the two techniques. The experimental results are also shown for the new technique. The switching angles are generated with the help of field programmable gated array (FPGA) in the hardware. The value of experimental THD of voltage is compared with that of simulated THD and the comparison prove that the results are satisfactory. .

INTRODUCTION Multilevel inverters are very famous in applications employing high and medium power applications, because of their favourable characteristics like good quality output voltage and output current waveforms, less stress on the switches stress, and less EMI [1-4]. The main classification of multilevel inverter being the neutral point clamped inverter(diode clamped), cascaded H-bridge inverter, flying capacitor inverter [5] and the modular multilevel converters (MMCs) [6-8], [25 – 27]. There are many control techniques available for the multilevel inverter, the most popular and simple technique is the multi-carrier PWM technique. However, this technique is carried out with a high frequency carrier signal that increases the switching losses. Hence, the switching at the fundamental frequency is desired. Selective harmonic elimination(SHE) is the best PWM technique at the fundamental frequency, SHE produces the fundamental at the desired value by eliminating the dominant lower order harmonics [9-11]. In selective harmonic elimination technique, the angles for switching are found by solving non-linear transcendental equation set [12-13]. This paper proposes a SHE technique for the cascaded inverter which employs a single source of DC. The selective harmonic elimination technique further reduces the harmonic distortion of the voltage output of the multilevel inverter. The arrangement of the paper goes like this, Section 2 deals with the

MULTILEVEL INVERTER EMPLOYING SINGLE SOURCE OF DC The cascaded Inverters are usually preferred to other configurations of the inverters as they do not require clamping diodes and capacitors. The only drawback of the cascaded inverter is that it uses separate DC sources. An m-level inverter uses        2 1 m DC sources, resulting in increased cost. The configuration proposed in this paper eliminates this disadvantage of the conventional cascaded multilevel inverter [14] [25 – 29]. The configuration requires only one DC source irrespective of levels, resulting in reduced cost. The proposed five-level cascaded inverter employing a single source of DC shown in Figure 1(a). The inverter uses only one DC source irrespective of the number of levels. An m-level inverter of the proposed inverter uses        2 1 m transformers. The output of the inverter is connected to the load through the transformers. The primary of the transformers are connected to the DC source through the bridges. The secondary transformer windings are connected in series aiding to the load [15-16]. (a) (b) Figure 1.

SELECTIVE HARMONIC ELLIMINATION Selective harmonic elimination (SHE) technique aims at switching ON and OFF the semiconductor switches in such a way that the desired value of voltage or current fundamental is obtained with less distortion. The angles for switching the devices at the fundamental frequency are calculated by solving the transcendental equation set that characterize the harmonics [17]. For a five-level inverter, two switching angles are to be generated by solving two equations. These equations are solved using the Newton-Raphson (N-R) method that solves the nonlinear equations with initial approximate values is the one among the fastest methods of iteration [18]. Figure 1(b) shows the waveform of voltage for the five-level inverter against the switching angles for a half cycle. Expressing this waveform in Eqn.

Modulation index (MI) is defined as the ratio between the voltage fundamental and the peak voltage fundamental, 1 1 m I V V M  . For eliminating the desired harmonic, say the third harmonic, n=3 is substituted in Equation 1 and is equated to zero. The angles for the conventional SHE

Hence, the third harmonic is eliminated but the other harmonics like fifth, seventh, etc are present. 4. NEW HARMONIC ELLIMINATION A new SHE technique to minimize the fifth harmonic, along with the elimination of the third order harmonic is considered in this paper. This is achieved by using the equation of fifth order harmonic along with equation of the third order harmonic and leaving the fundamental equation. Fifth harmonic is not completely eliminated but is reduced to a small value by equating the fifth harmonic equation to a minimum value, say 0.0001, as given by Equation 5. 0001 . 0 ) 5 ( cos ) 5 cos( 2 1     (5) By solving Equations. (4 & 5) by N-R method [22], the θ1 and θ2 values are found to as θ1= 0.2094 rad and θ2= 0.8378 rad. The new selective harmonic elimination reduces one more additional harmonic. For a five level inverter, the technique mitigates the fifth order harmonics in addition to the third order harmonics. For a seven-level inverter, the technique mitigates the seventh order harmonics alongwith the elimination of the third and fifth order harmonics and so on. Hence, the THD value is further reduced. The THD is one among the various performance parameters of inverter circuit and it can be found using Fourier series [23]. THD is the ratio between the sum of all the harmonic components and the fundamental component of the voltage or current. 5. RESULTS AND ANALYSIS 5.1. Simulation results Simulation work of the five-level inverter is done using MATLAB/ Simulink with the conventional SHE and the new SHE techniques. Waveforms of the simulated output voltage, harmonic analysis and the PWM pattern for both the techniques are obtained. Figure 2(a-c) respectively shows the simulated output voltage of the MLI, the harmonic analysis and the PWM pattern for the conventional SHE. Figure 3(a- c) respectively shows the wave forms of output voltage of the MLI, harmonic analysis and PWM pattern for the new SHE. From the Figures. 2(b) and 3(b), it is evident that the THD value of the voltage output is 18.46 % with the conventional SHE technique while it is 17.4 % with the new SHE method. Hence, it is clear that the proposed SHE method results in the lesser value of voltage THD as compared to that of the conventional SHE method. The Table 2 compares the THDs of the voltages of the MLI for the two SHE techniques.
