Abstract
In this research, the Grey Wolf Optimizer GWO algorithm through staircase modulation strategy is utilized to estimate switching angles and bridge DC voltage (input variables) of five-level and seven-level cascade H-Bridge inverters. Estimated values make sure that total harmonics distortion THD of the selected inverters will be minimized as possible. The simulation results using MATLAB/Simulink software and harmonic spectrum using Fast Fourier Transform window for five and seven-level CHB inverter in symmetric (equal DC voltage) and asymmetric (un-equal DC voltage) mode have been presented based on the magnitude of THD in output voltage. The analysis has been done for both R and RC loads.
