Abstract

The paper suggests an intelligent control method for extracting multi-level inverter (MLI) harmonics. The hybrid control technology combines the Whale optimization algorithm (WOA) and the Sine Cosine Algorithm (SCA). For the ideal switching direction, harmonic Voltage, and harmonic distortion that is established as a database the WOA algorithm is used. The requisite fundamental voltage and harmonic material are to be obtained to optimize the switching angles of the MLI. The whale location for the change shall be added to the SCA output to generate the MLI command pulse. Simulation tests of thirty one-level H-MLI check the accuracy of the proposed method. In MATLAB/Simulink system the suggested hybrid software is applied. The output is checked for the suggested methodology, contrasted with the current methods, such as cuckoo search (CS), firefly algorithm (FA), and WOA, which is the product of the proposed hybrid technique. In terms of total harmonic deviations, the results obtained through the proposed method are considered to be superior to the current system.
