    The harmonic elimination in inverters with metaheuristic approaches
    (Bursa Uludağ Üniversitesi, 2019-11-21) Vatansever, Fahri; Kuyu, Yiğit Çağatay; Mühendislik Fakültesi; Elektrik Elektronik Mühendisliği Bölümü; 0000-0002-3885-8622; 0000-0002-7054-3102
    Inverters which convert DC voltage into AC voltage are widely used in the field of power electronics. During the conversion from DC voltage to AC voltage, some of the harmonics can occur. Harmonics which are one of the most important parameters in the field of energy/power systems determine the power quality. Therefore, one of the crucial steps is the elimination/suppression of harmonics in the outputs of the inverters. It is required to solve complex equations with multiple variables in this elimination process. In this study, a software is developed and eight different metaheuristic algorithms/approaches (backtracking search, cuckoo search, electromagnetic field optimization, harmony search, Harris hawks optimization, interior search, vortex search, Yin-Yang-pair optimization) are used for the elimination of the chosen harmonics by determining suitable switching angles. The desired harmonics are eliminated in the chosen inverter circuits via the software with a user-friendly interface easily, fast and effectively, and the results can be observed both numerically and graphically through the this software.
