Abstract
This paper analyses an optimum Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) value for multilevel inverters using Hybrid Particle Swarm Optimization Algorithm (HPSO). The proposed paper instigates an algorithm which supersedes the conventional algorithms in finding out an optimum global value. The prime objective of this paper is to reduce the THD value of the Asymmetric H-bridge multilevel inverters by choosing appropriate values from the inequality constraints. The proposed algorithm is simulated for an 11-level H bridge inverter using matlab 2014 version software. The results interpreted seemed to have a satisfactory higher order harmonic elimination compared to the conventional methods.
