Selective Harmonic Elimination (SHE) shows superior harmonic performance at low switching frequencies to eliminate low-order harmonics and this property decreasing losses is a very effective way to reach higher efficiencies in power electronics applications. In this paper, Whale Optimizer Algorithm (WOA) is implemented to decide optimum switching angles for three-phase Voltage Source Inverter (VSI) of eliminating some high order harmonics while providing the required voltage. Besides, Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) algorithm is also applied and the optimum switching angles are calculated off-line to eliminate the 5th, 7th, 11th, 13th, 17th, and 19th harmonics. The output voltages obtained by the application of WOA and PSO are compared using the total harmonic distortion (THD). By the comparison of these results, we show that WOA gives faster and more accurate results in terms of decreasing THD than PSO algorithm in SHE applications.

Adaptive Harmonic Balance Methods, A Comparison Sert, Onur; Ciğeroğlu, Ender (2016-01-28) Harmonic balance method (HBM) is one of the most popular and powerful methods, which is used to obtain response of nonlinear vibratory systems in frequency domain. The main idea of the method is to express the response of the system in Fourier series and converting the nonlinear differential equations of motion into a set of nonlinear algebraic equations. System response can be obtained by solving this nonlinear equation set in terms of the unknown Fourier coefficients. The accuracy of the solution is great...
On-Line Application of SHEM by Particle Swarm Optimization to Grid-Connected, Three-Phase, Two-Level VSCs with Variable DC Link Voltage Guvengir, Umut; ÇADIRCI, IŞIK; Ermiş, Muammer (2018-08-01) This paper is devoted to an otablen-line application of the selective harmonic elimination method (SHEM) to three-phase, two-level, grid-connected voltage source converters (VSCs) by particle swarm optimization (PSO). In such systems, active power can be controlled by the phase shift angle, and reactive power by the modulation index, against variations in the direct current (DC) link voltage. Some selected, low-odd-order harmonic components in the line-to-neutral output voltage waveforms are eliminated by c...
Synchronization of linearly and nonlinearly coupled harmonic oscillators Penbegül, Ali Yetkin; Tuna, Sezai Emre; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2011) In this thesis, the synchronization in the arrays of identical and non-identical coupled harmonic oscillators is studied. Both linear and nonlinear coupling is considered. The study consists of two main parts. The first part concentrates on theoretical analysis and the second part contains the simulation results. The first part begins with introducing the harmonic oscillators and the basics of synchronization. Then some theoretical aspects of synchronization of linearly and nonlinearly coupled harmonic osci...
Effect of Grey Wolf Optimization on THD of 3-Phase Voltage Source Inverter with Selective Harmonic Elimination Base Nalçacı, Gamze; Ermiş, Muammer (2019-01-01) Harmonics can be characterized as components with periodic waveforms having multiples of a fundamental frequency. Harmonics, one of the most critical issues of power quality, have recently come into prominence despite being known in advance. Many scientists and researchers have suggested various methods for decreasing or eliminating these low-order and high-order harmonics since the early time of the ac power systems. Selective Harmonic Elimination Method (SHEM) in the proposed methods is shown superior per...
Output Ripple Performance Evaluation and Comparison of 2L-VSI and 3L-VSI Considering the Spectral Characteristics Özkan, Ziya; Hava, Ahmet Masum (2015-06-05) In this paper, two-level and three-level voltage source inverters (2/3L-VSIs) with popular pulse width modulation (PWM) methods are investigated in terms of their output (ac-side) voltage and current ripple spectral characteristics and waveform quality properties such as peak-to-peak ripple, rms ripple, and weighted total harmonic distortion. As the switching frequency and the filter size influence the output waveform quality, the inverter efficiency (loss) constraint on the switching frequency, and the siz...
