Harmonic Control Scheme using Genetic Algorithm for Single-phase Multi-level Rectifiers

Abstract

Harmonic control scheme using genetic algorithm (GA) for single-phase multi-level rectifiers is proposed to meet harmonic current limiting standards with minimum input filter inductance. The effectiveness of the proposed scheme was verified by experiments. As the results, switching pattern which was able to decrease about 6.3% THD of the line current more than the conventional scheme and met harmonic current limiting standard was obtained.
