Application of the Bee Algorithm for Selective Harmonic Elimination Strategy in Multilevel Inverters
Abstract
This paper presents the Bee optimization method for harmonic elimination in a cascaded multilevel inverter. The main objective in selective harmonic elimination pulsewidth modulation strategy is eliminating low-order harmonics by solving nonlinear equations, while the fundamental component is satisfied. In this paper, the Bee algorithm (BA) is applied to a 7-level inverter for solving the equations. The algorithm is based on the food foraging behavior of a swarm of a honeybees and it performs a neighborhood search combined with a random search. This method has higher precision and probability of convergence than the genetic algorithm (GA). MATLAB software is used for optimization and comparison of GA and BA. Simulation results show superiority of BA over GA in attaining accurate global minima and higher convergence rate. Also, its performance in 10 times run is the same as in 1 time run. Finally, for verifying purposes, an experimental study is performed.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
