Abstract
Multilevel inverter is popular for its merits and good characteristics. Among many topologies of multilevel inverter, cascade topology is known for its modular construction and viability in high-power applications. The low frequency selective harmonic elimination technique comprising nonlinear transcendental equations which is used to reduce the harmonics of output voltage. There are various methods of optimization to solve nonlinear transcendental equations out of which genetic algorithm is the biological evolutionary mechanism. This paper work analyzes the operation of an eleven-level cascade multilevel inverter which uses the selective harmonic exclusion approach to evaluate the values of optimal switching angles using genetic algorithm in order to minimize the harmonics of the output voltage.
