Minimization of THD in Nine Level Cascaded H-Bridge Inverter Using Artificial Neural Network
Multilevel inverter converts different level DC voltage to AC voltage. It has wide interest in power industry especially in high power applications. In power electronic equipment the major drawback is the harmonics. Several control strategies are available to reduce the harmonic content and the most widely used measure of Total Harmonic Distortion (THD). In this project, the comparison has been made for the open loop and closed loop PI controller and neural network that predict the switching angle in order to reduce the harmonics. The mapping between Modulation Index and Switching angles are plotted for the forward neural network. After the prediction of switching angles the neural network topologies are executed for better result. This technique is applied for any type of multilevel inverter, Cascaded H-Bridge multilevel inverter is chosen. A nine level Cascaded H-Bridge multilevel inverter power circuit is simulated in MATLAB 8.3 simulink with sinusoidal PWM technique. The comparison results reveal that the THD is reduced to about 3% with neural network control compared to open loop control. The results are presented and analyzed.
