Abstract

Harmonics worsen the quality of electrical signals, hence, there is a need to eliminate them. The test objects under discussion are single-phase versions of cascaded H-bridge (CHB) multilevel inverters (MLIs) whose switching angles are optimized to eliminate specific harmonics. The Dragonfly Algorithm (DA) is used to eradicate low-order harmonics, and its statistical performance is compared to that of many other optimization techniques, including Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO), Accelerated Particle Swarm Optimization (APSO), Differential Evolution (DE), and Grey Wolf Optimization (GWO). Various scenarios of the algorithms’ search agent population for inverters with seven, nine, and eleven levels of output voltages are comprehensively addressed in this research. No algorithm shows total dominance in every scenario. The DA is least impacted by the change in dimensions of the narrated problem
