Multilevel converter, THD, genetic algorithmAbstract
This paper presents the optimization of THD (Total harmonic distortion) in a DC-AC converter employing genetic algorithms. The selected topology for inverter circuit is the cascade multilevel converter with asymmetric DC supplies (4 stages). The aim is to reach a THD less than 5% and obtain an output waveform with a frequency of 60 Hz and an output voltaje of 120 Vrms. The results were simulated in Matlab® and validated by implementing a prototype converter.
